The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has finally published a list of beneficiaries of its scholarship program, following a deferred response to a formal Right to Information (RTI) request by JoyNews. The request, originally made by the Head of the Research Desk at The Multimedia Group, Raymond Acquah, sought comprehensive details on GNPC-funded scholarships granted to both local and foreign institutions since the program's inception. The information requested included: 1. A full list of beneficiaries who received GNPC-funded scholarships to foreign institutions, including the year of selection, institutions attended, courses pursued, scholarship amounts awarded, and the criteria used for selection. 2. A detailed list of beneficiaries awarded GNPC-funded scholarships to local educational institutions within Ghana, with similar details provided as in the first request. 3. Clarification on the total annual expenditure attributed to GNPC-funded scholarships, both for foreign and local institutions, up to the present date. In response, GNPC's Deputy Chief Executive (Finance & Administration), Benjamin Kweku Acolatse, acknowledged receipt of the request in a letter dated April 30, 2024. However, citing Section 22 of the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989), GNPC indicated that access to the requested information would be deferred.
