Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has rewarded the security man of Ghana Senior High School (GHANASS) in Koforidua with a cash prize of GHC 5,000 for blowing the cover of the senior matron of the school.
Madam Comfort Oduro Bruce, senior matron of GHANASS has been invited by the regional police command over an alleged stealing of some foodstuffs meant for the students and selling them outside.
The matron was reportedly caught pants down by the chief security man of the school, Kofi Kanjaga, when she and the driver (one Alfred) was transporting the foodstuffs with the Regional Ghana Education Service vehicle with registration number, GN 6717-15, over the weekend.
She was allegedly assisted by one of her staff, Appiah, who later exposed the rot on Oman Fm – an Accra-based radio station – after Kwame Baffoe aka Abronye DC, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Youth Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) had been informed about the alleged criminal act.
Mr Kofi Kanjaga confirmed in media interviews that the matron, who was transferred from Krobo-Odumase Girls’ SHS to the school last year, had been stealing foodstuffs meant to feed GHANASS students – particularly the first years, as part of the government’s Free SHS policy – and selling them outside on daily basis.
The Matron and the driver has since been arraigned before a Koforidua Circuit Court and granted bail.
Ken Agyapong after hearing of the story promised to reward the security man for being patriotic and exposing people like the Chief Matron.
“The security man should come to me for a GHC 5,000 reward as Christmas gift. He deserves to be rewarded…I will bring the money to you [Omanhene] for you to give to him, such people are heroes and we need to reward people like that to be able to fight corruption,” he said.
