Ministry of Education unable to recover stolen vehicle taken from free SHS coordinator in 2018

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has been unable to recover a Toyota Hilux vehicle that was stolen at gunpoint from Kingsley Agyemang, the Central Regional Coordinator of the Free Senior High School Secretariat, in 2018.

According to MoE officials, the incident took place while Agyemang was driving home to Kumasi from a funeral.

During a Public Accounts Committee meeting, Emmanuel Agyare, the transport manager at MoE, explained that the vehicle was used for official duties and that the incident was promptly reported to the police.

The vehicle was used by the Central Regional Coordinator of the Free SHS. The incident happened at Kumasi Kwadaso, and it’s all in the police report.

Apparently, he had returned from a funeral. Per the report we have, the driver wasn’t harmed, and he reported the incident. The police investigated the matter.

The Public Accounts Committee has ordered Agyemang to pay the difference between the insured value and the current value of the vehicle after the Ministry claims compensation from the insurance company.

We are going to recommend that you continue to pursue the state insurance company. Let them pay; they will not pay the current value of the vehicle, but the insured value minus 10 per cent.

After you have received that money, the difference between that and the current cost of the vehicle should be borne by Mr. Kingsley Agyemang.
