Prempeh College has renewed its push to recover GH¢1,053,230 owed by the Government of Ghana as compensation for land used in the construction of the Sofoline Interchange.
The issue came up during a sitting of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament (PAC) in Kumasi on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, where the school’s management appeared to respond to matters raised in the Auditor-General’s report.
Headmaster of the school, Louis Asare, told the Committee that the compensation, promised in 2013, remains unpaid despite several follow-ups.
He explained that the school has written at least four formal letters to relevant institutions, including Value Properties and the Department of Urban Roads, but has only received verbal assurances.
“Repeated efforts to retrieve the funds have yielded no results,” he said.
In response, the Ashanti Regional Director of Education, William Kwame Amankrah, assured the Committee that the matter would be escalated to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene, to help facilitate payment for the school’s development needs.
A member of the Committee and MP for Atwima Nwabiagya North, Frank Yeboah, who also disclosed he is an old student of the school, urged swift action.
“Education Director, do something about it to make sure that Prempeh College gets its fair share,” he stressed.
