Acting Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Gaming Commission of Ghana, Lamtiig A. Apanga, said on Breakfast Daily that internal sabotage within the government system could be contributing to the persistent challenges facing the education sector.
Apanga explained that the difficulties cannot be attributed solely to financial constraints, pointing to possible administrative bottlenecks and what he described as potential acts of sabotage within the system.
He urged that if such acts are taking place, those responsible must be identified and dealt with, noting that the situation is “not just embarrassing the Minister, but you are also putting the entire country in a state of anxiety.”
His comments come amid an ongoing strike by the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) and the Pre‑Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG).
Apanga also questioned why teachers could remain unpaid for extended periods despite regular biometric verification of those actively working, calling for a review of the administrative processes surrounding teacher payments and other education‑related challenges.
He concluded that any sabotage within the system should be fished out and dealt with promptly to restore confidence in the education sector.
