Tensions are escalating in the Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region as teachers and education stakeholders call for the immediate removal of the District Director of Education, George Bebuba Woyongo, over alleged misconduct and administrative malpractice.
In response to mounting pressure, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed Woyongo to proceed on leave pending the outcome of an investigation into the claims.
The aggrieved teachers have accused Woyongo of demoting four headteachers and the District Statistics Officer without due process, creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among staff.
They have also condemned his decision to appoint Gerald Awozare-allegedly his favourite-to dual roles as District Training Officer and District Budget Officer, describing it as a clear conflict of interest.
