The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament (PAC) has directed the prosecution of a teacher in Sunyani, Comfort Appiah over payroll irregularity. The Kintampo South District Education Directorate disclosed that a headteacher and a validator, Bismark Agyekum fled to California with a validation code, enabling him to secure GH¢26,000 in unearned salary. According to reports from the directorate, Agyekum transferred the funds to the colleague teacher's account in Sunyani after the payment was deposited into his account. This revelation was made by the District Director of Education in Kintampo South, Daniel Yaw Appiah, during PAC proceedings on Tuesday, August 20. "The guy has decided that he will not pay because, according to him, he worked for Ghana and was not paid, he's now in California and when he was leaving, he took the validation code, he was there validating himself. "And our checks proved that when the money hits the account, the money is transferred into a different account. It made our embargo unworkable.
