Richard Nyamah
A New Patriotic Party (NPP) youth activist, Richard Nyamah, is threatening to\u00a0have government accounts frozen by seeking a garnishee order if government fails to pay in full arrears owed the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund).<\/p>\n

This comes amid reports that government has released over GHC 98 million to GETFund days after an Accra Fast Track High Court issued the order.<\/p>\n

He told \u00a0Citi News, \u00a0he is considering suing government again because it has failed to pay the amount in full as directed by the court.<\/p>\n

‘I’m seriously considering it because what I know for sure is that from June 2013 to July 2014, the government hasn’t paid any further monies.’<\/p>\n

Nyamah accused the government of hoarding the funds ‘and they are just refusing to pay it and so we would encourage the court to force them to do that.’<\/p>\n

He stated that the money released is inadequate considering government owes GETFund close to GHC 600 million.<\/p>\n

He expressed surprise that the government was able to settle part of its indebtedness to the GETFund after complaining of the unavailability of money.<\/p>\n

‘Where was this money until the ruling?’ he asked.<\/p>\n

Government over the weekend released GHC 370 million to clear accumulated statutory payments.<\/p>\n

The beneficiaries are District Assemblies Common Fund, Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) and the National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL).<\/p>\n
