At a Public Accounts Committee hearing Wednesday, January 31, 2024, the Director General of the Ghana Education Service was given a two-week ultimatum to investigate and report back to the Committee on a matter of unearned salaries paid to a sick teacher.
Dr. Eric Nkansah is expected to explain to the PAC how a sum of GHC 24,000.00 was paid to the teacher who is said to be suffering from a spiritual disease.

Despite the inability of the said teacher to report to school due to sickness, he earned his salary according to reports.
The Director General informed the Committee that the development was an unusual case which requires further probing and thus requested the leave of the Committee to investigate the matter further.
