I have not received any scholarship benefits from govt – Ablakwa

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has strongly refuted any association with the GNPC Foundation Foreign Scholarship program.

His denial follows the circulation of a list alleging his and other National Democratic Congress (NDC) members’ involvement in the scheme during the Mahama administration.

In a statement posted on his social media handle on April 13, 2024, Ablakwa urged the public to disregard the list, labeling it as “malicious” and “fake.” He expressed disappointment in journalists who published the list without proper verification, emphasizing the importance of adhering to fundamental journalistic principles.

Ablakwa asserted that he has never applied for or benefited from any government scholarship.

He urged the public to treat the circulation of the list with contempt and announced that he has informed his legal team about the matter, indicating that further action will be taken.

“I have never applied for nor been a beneficiary of a government scholarship of any kind. I, therefore, implore the general public to treat with utter contempt the deplorable circulation of this malicious and fake GNPC Foundation Foreign Scholarship list.

“It is most condemnable that some journalists I hitherto had enormous respect for would proceed to further publish this defamatory list without conducting the basic ethical and professional journalistic requirement of verification,” he posted.
