The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) has disclosed that five lecturers sponsored to pursue doctoral studies abroad have failed to honour their bond agreements, leaving the institution with an outstanding debt of GH\u00a21.7 million.<\/p>\n

Registrar Victoria Kumbuor revealed the details on Monday, January 12, during a sitting of Parliament\u2019s Public Accounts Committee, outlining steps being taken to recover the funds.<\/p>\n

According to Ms Kumbuor, the debts are as follows: Ann-Shirley Appiatse \u2013 GH\u00a2777,000; Julius Quarshie \u2013 GH\u00a2524,000; Dr Hanson Addy \u2013 GH\u00a2224,000; Afua Ataa Boakyewaa \u2013 GH\u00a2230,000; and Christiana Osei Bonsu \u2013 GH\u00a238,700.<\/p>\n

The debts arose from sponsorships granted with the understanding that the lecturers would return to serve GIMPA upon completing their PhD programmes. While all beneficiaries signed bonding agreements, some failed to return, prompting the institution to enforce recovery measures. <\/p>\n

These include freezing entitlements of defaulting lecturers and their guarantors, such as provident fund and credit scheme benefits.<\/p>\n

Ms Kumbuor emphasized that the measures are part of GIMPA\u2019s efforts to protect public funds and ensure accountability in staff development programmes, noting that some amounts have already been recovered.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
