Prempeh College has stepped up its efforts to recover GH¢1,053,230 from the Government of Ghana.
The amount is compensation for the land the state utilised for the Sofoline Interchange.
School leaders raised the issue during the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing in Kumasi on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
They attended the session to respond to issues highlighted in the Auditor-General’s report.
The Headmaster, Very Rev. Louis Asare, told the Committee that the government promised the payment in 2013 but has not fulfilled it.
He said the school has made several attempts to claim the money.
According to him, the school sent at least four official letters to the appropriate authorities.
These include the project consultant, Value Properties, and the Department of Urban Roads.
However, the school has only received verbal assurances and no payment so far.
“Repeated efforts to retrieve the funds have yielded no results,” he indicated.
The Ashanti Regional Director of Education, Dr. William Kwame Amankrah, responded to the concern.
He assured the Committee that he would take the issue to the Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, to help secure the funds for the school’s development.
Frank Yeboah, a member of the Committee and Member of Parliament for Atwima Nwabiagya North, also spoke on the matter.
He said he is an old student of Prempeh College and urged officials to act quickly.
“Education Director, do something about it to make sure that Prempeh College gets its fair share,” he said.
