The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dispelled claims that the Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, Abdulai Zakaria, has been cleared of sexual abuse allegations involving female students. According to the GES, its Disciplinary Committee is still conducting an investigation into the matter and has not yet finalised its report.
The Public Relations Officer of the GES, Daniel Fenyi, clarified this during an interview with JoyNews’ The Pulse, stating that no single individual in the case has been cleared. Mr Fenyi explained that the committee, which was due to submit its findings by Wednesday, requested extra time to hear from all alleged victims before concluding its investigation.
He emphasized that the committee's report must accurately reflect the experiences of all participants. The GES management granted the committee an additional seven working days to gather information from all involved parties, including students who did not attend the initial meetings and those requiring alternative arrangements to participate.
Fenyi assured stakeholders that the investigation continued and that the committee would complete its work within the extended period.
