Tsito SECTECH headmaster, staff interdicted over Free SHS food supply diversion

The Ghana Education Service (GES), reacting to the alleged diversion of Free SHS food supply in the Volta region, has directed staff of the service suspected to be part of the food supply diversion to step aside following their interdiction by the service.

The suspects, according to the GES, are the school storekeeper, driver, and the Tsito SECTECH headmaster under whose supervision the school bus operates.

All staff of the GES interdicted are to ensure that they hand over all the administration of the school and all school properties in their possession to the Volta Regional Director of Education. They are also to ensure that they do not report to work but must be ready to assist in all investigations. They are also not to act in any way that will affect the investigations.
