The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) deemed the government’s recent transfer of GH¢25 million cedis to offset part of the GH¢118 million debt owed to the Council insufficient.
The Council noted that the cash granted was insufficient to allow for the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.
Speaking to the media, WAEC’s Head of Public Relations, John Kapi, expressed concern that the delays in providing cash to them had hampered their activities.
“Obviously, that [the GH¢25 million] was just a drop in the ocean as far as the amount of money required for the job we are supposed to do is concerned. We indicated to the minister earlier that we owed our technicians GH¢25 million, which we had to pay before they even started to work on the machines. Besides, there are other operations that we have to do.
“Obviously, it is inadequate. If we decide to invite the technicians today or even tomorrow, all they are going to ask for is the outstanding payment. And so all of that GH¢25 million will go.”
