Is the scholarship secretariat President Akufo-Addo’s property? – Social media users roast GES staff

•Asiedu-Odei says has suggested an applicant for government scholarship will not get it because he mocked President Akufo-Addo

•His statement has infuriated some Ghanaians

•Some wants him fired for the comment

Kojo Asiedu-Odei, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party seems to have suggested one’s chances of securing government scholarship are tied to him or her being a praise singer for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the government of the day.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, July 18, 2021, Asiedu Odei observed an applicant for the scholarship who has reached out to him for assistance has made a post, criticizing President Akufo-Addo.

He gave the impression that the request will not be guided as the said applicant has attacked the President.

“You just asked for assistance on scholarship from the scholarship secretariat! Meanwhile, I just read his post mocking the President! Bye!,” he said.

His statement however triggered a flurry of attacks from social media users who questioned if the National Scholarship Secretariat is a property of President Akufo-Addo.

While some called for his dismissal as a staff of the Ghana Education Service, others noted his comment is a reflection of what they contend arrogance on the part of government appointees.

A comment by the user reads ‘Is the scholarship secretariat for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo or your father? Some of you behave as if the position you have is eternal. Look at his *ugly head like Anita Akufo’s wig on Ghana’s most beautiful. ahhh!! An unintelligent idiot on a public space”

Another person who is obviously peeved by the statement said “Ghana Education Service has no excuse to sack this idiot from their office!
