The Ghana Education Service (GES) has granted its committee investigating sexual misconduct allegations at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) an additional seven days to complete its probe, according to a statement by GES Public Relations Officer Daniel Fenyi. The extended deadline is necessary to ensure that all alleged victims' experiences are accurately represented in the final report, Fenyi explained on Joy FM’s Midday News.
The committee had initially been given two weeks to complete its work, with the deadline originally set for Wednesday.
