Auditor General Report: Bolgtanga Tech. Varsity VC fights AG for mistaking Ghc45k for Ghc45Million

Vice-Chancellor for the Bolgatanga Technical University Prof. Samuel Erasmus Alnaa has stated categorically that the Auditor General erred in capturing figures of the school’s spending on procurement in 2019 by management.

According to the latest Auditor General‘s report, the Bolgatanga Technical University “has a one-man procurement unit responsible for all procurement activities. For the year 2019 the Polytechnic procured goods and services to the value of GH¢45,355,000.00 through the one-man unit”.

The report indicated that with the lack of qualified procurement personnel to man the unit “The situation has resulted in deploying accounts and budget officers to assist in the procurement process which in our view do not offer adequate control in procurement and payment process”.

But in an interview with Bolgatanga-based Dreamz FM on the findings in the Auditor General’s report, Vice-Chancellor for the Bolgatanga Technical University Prof. Samuel Erasmus Alnaa explained that the Auditor General erred in its report.

According to him, there were additional zeros which were not supposed to have been there hence ballooning the figure from GH¢ 45, 335.00 to GH¢45,355,000.00.

He explained that “There was a constriction on employment for some time now and so it was actually difficult for us to get the number of staff to represent the procurement directorate.  However, recently we have gotten clearance to recruit to do that, but the amount involved has been erroneously overstated. I think they just added another zero to it. The amount involved is Ghc 45, 335.00. It will even take ten years of our allocation but we will still not get 45 million cedis”.

Expressing his shock at the figure quoted  Prof. Samuel Erasmus Alnaa stressed that “can you imagine all the Technical Universities spending 48 million cedis and Bolgatanga Technical University alone spending 45 million cedis? That is too serious. Where are getting that money? Even if you add all our salaries and all others together including GETfund allocation, School fees and all; you won’t still get that 45 million cedis over even 5 years”, indicating that the attention of the AG has been drawn to the error.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
