Anti-graft campaigner, Vitus Azeem, says public officials who used their positions to obtain GETfund scholarships in the past should be made to pay back the sponsorship fees to the state.

According to him, even though they could not be blamed for securing the scholarships, they should, out of good conscience, payback since were not needy students as stipulated by the Act of the scholarship scheme.

“These are very unfortunate for a country that goes out there in search of loans. We need a more serious in-depth investigation into this matter.

” The people who gave out these scholarships should be punished or made to face the law, and those public officials who received it, even though they cannot be blamed, they should pay back the monies to the state,” he told Francis Abban on the Morning Starr Monday.

It has emerged that some MPs and government officials were given scholarships from the GETfund scholarship secretariat to embark on courses abroad.

The mandate of the GETFund is to grant scholarships to brilliant but needy Ghanaians.

The list including some members of parliament and deputy ministers are contained in the audited report of the auditor general on the Getfund scholarship secretariat.
