Beatrice Annan details how educational scholarships will be awarded under NDC 

The Deputy Spokesperson, John Mahama Campaign Team, Lawyer Beatrice Annan has disclosed that under the National Democratic Congress (NDC), no family member of politicians or political appointees will benefit from government educational scholarships.

During an interview on Onua FM, Beatrice Annan lamented how the Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Blay who is financially stable has benefited from scholarships meant for the poor and needy.

“Freddie Blay who is the Board Chairman for the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) takes allowances every month, but his family members and children are the ones benefiting from governmental scholarships. The poor, needy, children of cocoa farmers will apply for scholarships and will not get” Beatrice Annan complained.

She also made references to a scholarship given to a family member of the president, Nana Addo, identified as Celestina Amoako-Atta  while the scholarship secretariat have denied the needy the scholarships for their education.

According to her, the road tolls, market tolls, taxes and other levies are taken to fund some of these scholarships for the needy hence it is unfair that these scholarships are given to political appointees.

“It not news of the scholarship secretariat gives scholarships to the needy to go study abroad but it is news that the secretariat will give a minister like NAPO a scholarship to go study or do a short course abroad” Beatrice Annan lamented

Beatrice emphasized that the NDC government will introduce a law that will abolish the schemes of granting political appointees and politicians scholarships.
