Minority in Parliament has accused the Educational Minister Mathew Opoku Prempeh of causing financial loss to the state to the tune of GHS1m.
According to the Minority, the Sector Minister also known as Napo has spent GHS1m on the travel expenses of some 13 National Service personnel last year to go outside the country to learn about some new computer software and programs to boost their capacity which they believe was outrageous.
Minority MP Ras Mubarak said there are equally competent educational facilities in the country like GIMPA which also offer the same courses at an affordable price.
Speaking to the media, Ras Mubarak said he will consult the leadership of the Minority to find a way to solve the issues either to call for an investigation into the case.

According to him, “the country is suffering†because of the bad governance of the Mahama administration.
