Victoria Amoah, Principal of Tepa Nursing and Midwifery College has refused to adhere to the Ministry of Health’s instruction to handover her notes after been interdicted of ‘chopping’ the school’s GH¢9million with the Accountant.
She was transferred to the Teshie Nursing college to take over management but was later interdicted by the ministry after Ultimate FM’s serialised reports.
The Principal and the Accountant Asamoah Richard were fingered in the GH¢9million corruption scandal.
Academic work has become a standstill as the ECG has cut power supply to the school over huge debt.
The Accountant who is the sole signatory to the account is reported to have left for the USA after the school’s management discovered the debt.
Background
A new seven million Ghana cedis (GHC7m) fraud was uncovered at the Tepa Nursing and Midwifery College.
The latest fraud case was uncovered by a seven-member delegation from the Ministry of Health led by deputy Minister Tina Mensah and Dr. Kwasi Asabre acting director Human Resource.
The delegation stormed the Tepa Nursing College last week to probe claims of fraud levelled against the principal and the accountant of the institution.
After three days of investigations and gathering evidence, the team uncovered fresh evidence of massive corruption in the school involving the principal and the accountant of the college.
Sources revealed to Ultimate FM that the principal and the accountant could not account for 21 missing vouchers amounting to 7 million Ghana Cedis.
The ministry also retrieved a number of fake used receipts from the school which confirmed the earlier reports of corruption in the government institution.
According to Ultimate FM sources, the principal and the accountant could not deny the allegations levelled against them.
Reports indicate that the Deputy Health Minister Tina Mensah was shocked at the development in the school after meeting all the administrative staff for questioning.
The Principal of the college in the Ahafo Ano North of the Ashanti region, Ms. Victoria Amoah and the accountant Asamoah Richard have already been involved in an alleged GH?9, 247,800 admission fraud.
The two, who are already under investigation allegedly used fake receipts and invoices to milk the government institution during every admission year.
The alleged corrupt practice began in 2011 two years after the college was established.
