The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has directed the Donkorkrom District Education Office to recover more than GH¢17,000 wrongly paid to a teacher who was not qualified to receive it.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General's Report, Stephen Akomeah, a Senior Superintendent II at Adeemmra R/C Primary School, fraudulently received Physically Challenged Transport Allowances between June 2021 and May 2024, totaling GH¢17,703.28, despite being able-bodied.
The Auditor-General had earlier instructed that the amount, together with interest at the prevailing Bank of Ghana rate, be retrieved and deposited into the Auditor-General's Recoveries Account.
However, the funds remain unrecovered.
