The publication, which appeared on the website of GhanaWeb on 30 March 2021, is false and without merit. The terms of the contract for study leave with pay required me to return to GIMPA upon completion or to pay the amount spent on me if I did not return to post. I have since paid Gh₵223,260.41, leaving a balance of Gh₵104,539.83 which I have been saving to pay in due course.

I have had people in Australia, Ghana, New Zealand and United States contact me drawing my attention to this publication.
