Bright Kwabena Sikanku, the (NDC) Constituency Chairman for Asuogyaman in the Eastern region and a nominee for the position of District Chief Executive (DCE), has denied allegations that he presented falsified academic qualifications in his application.
In a press release issued on January 31, 2025, Sikanku clarified that the confusion stemmed from an error made by an assistant who helped fill out his application forms.
He maintained that he had presented a Diploma in Business Studies (Purchasing, Logistics, and Supply Chain Management option) from the London International Organization for Capacity Building, an affiliate of Accra Business School, which remains verifiable.
He further emphasized that he never presented any certificate from Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) to the party or vetting committee and criticized the petitioners for misrepresenting a clerical mistake as falsification. "All the original certificates I presented, as required by the party, are in the custody of the appointing authorities at both the regional and national levels of our party, and I have confidence in the mechanisms by which they verify the qualification of anyone," part of the statement said.
