One news article that has caused much debate in recent times in Ghana is the issue concerning the GETFund scholarship.
Some few days ago, there was a report suggesting that some key government individuals were given scholarships as ‘needy but brilliant students’.
One of such people is the Minister of State in charge of Public Procurement, Sarah Adwoa Safo. However, she has reacted to this news claiming that these reports are to dent her reputation.
The revelation has generated outrage among some Ghanaians on social media.
In her reaction which we sighted on Ghanaweb, she said;
“My attention has been drawn to the publications by various media outlets to the effect that I have received a scholarship from the Ghana Education Trust Fund to study at the Harvard Kennedy School in the United States in 2014.
The tone of the said publication was erroneous and smacks of an attempt to smear my reputation as a Member of Parliament and Minister of State and box me into a self-serving public official.”
“The purpose of receiving the GETFund support was to attend a programme at the Harvard Kennedy School to enable me to serve my constituents, parliament and nation better.”
