Beatrice Annan, a spokesperson for the John Dramani Mahama campaign team, has reiterated the National Democratic Congress's (NDC) commitment to regulating the Scholarship Secretariat.
She said if elected, the NDC will ensure that scholarships are awarded only to deserving candidates, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Annan emphasized that politics should not be a tool for gaining privileges, particularly when it comes to securing scholarships for one's family. "If I, Beatrice, want my child to obtain a scholarship, I have no business actively participating in politics," she remarked, stressing the need for fairness and integrity in the process.
Speaking to Nana Yaa Brefo on Onua FM on November 13, she criticized the current system, alleging that individuals with political ties often receive scholarships meant for the poor and needy. "We must understand that politics is not the easy way out to get the goodies you want," she added.
