Livestream: Newsfile discusses Obuasi SHTS abuse case, GH₵49m S.A. evacuation and World Cup visa scandal
This morning on Newsfile, host Samson Lardy Anyenini and his panellists will discuss the sexual abuse scandal at Obuasi Senior High Technical School and the GH¢49.72 million spent on evacuating 1,964 Ghanaians from South Africa.
Education Minister Hashmin Mohammed has defended her handling of alleged sexual abuse allegations at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), according to her spokesperson. Mohammed stated that the Minister promptly took steps to address the matter, instructing the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to suspend the school's headmaster following allegations brought to his attention by investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni.
Mohammed clarified that the Education Minister's office does not have any record of receiving a letter dated July 26, 2025, allegedly written by the school's old students to the Minister and the GES Director-General. He urged Kwarteng to provide verifiable evidence supporting his claims, stating that public discourse on such a serious issue should be based on verified facts rather than assumptions or unsubstantiated claims.
Mohammed invited Kwarteng to publish any documentary evidence establishing the receipt of the letter by the Minister's office, emphasizing that the Minister's documented actions should be part of any fair assessment of his handling of the case.
