The
Ranking
Member
on
the
Education
Committee
of
Parliament,
Peter
Nortsu-Kotoe,
has
indicated
that
the
committee
plans
to
push
the
Education
Minister
to
address
the
sector’s
challenges
by
bringing
these
issues
into
the
public
domain.
The
Akatsi
North
MP
explained
that
the
Minister
has
repeatedly
failed
to
appear
before
the
House
to
provide
answers
to
their
questions.
The
Minority
has
alleged
that
the
government
owes
over
6
billion
Ghana
Cedis
to
organizations
and
individuals
involved
in
the
Free
Senior
High
School
policy.
Speaking
to
Citi
News,
Peter
Nortsu
Kotoe
expressed
hope
that
the
Minister
will
take
the
necessary
steps
to
brief
the
House
on
the
situation.
“We
have
realised
that
anytime
these
issues
come
up,
or
when
the
government
is
delaying,
it’s
only
when
we
talk.
In
fact,
you
invite
them
and
they
will
tell
you
they
are
working
on
it.
Basic
Education
Certificate
Examination
issue,
we
invited
the
minister
of
education
and
finance,
it
was
only
the
deputy
minister
of
education
who
represented
the
minister
and
we
realised
that
that
was
not
an
issue
the
deputy
minister
would
handle.
“We
will
need
the
minister
himself
to
appear
before
the
committee.
As
a
minority,
we
decided
that
this
time,
we
would
put
everything
in
the
public
domain.
So
that
people
will
appreciate
the
challenges
people
are
going
through
for
the
government
to
take
the
necessary
action,”
Peter
Nortsu-Kotoe.
