The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) has revealed that five lecturers sponsored for doctoral programmes abroad have defaulted on their bond obligations, resulting in a total debt of GH¢1.7 million.
According to GIMPA Registrar, Victoria Kumbuor, the defaulting lecturers are:
- Ann-Shirley Appiatse (GH¢777,000)
- Julius Quarshie (GH¢524,000)
- Dr. Hanson Addy (GH¢224,000)
- Afua Ataa Boakyewaa (GH¢230,000)
- Christiana Osei Bonsu (GH¢38,700)
GIMPA has taken measures to recover the funds, including freezing entitlements of guarantors. “The institute offered sponsorships with the expectation that they would return to support operations,” Kumbuor said.
