The
Lower Manya Krobo Municipal Directorate of the Ghana Education Service has been
served an eviction notice to vacate its hired storey building at Atua due to
recurrent indebtedness.
The
Directorate would be moved out of its current location from where it has
operated since 1975 if by the end of the year an outstanding amount of GHC
3,420.00 is unpaid.
An
initial August eviction deadline was extended to December when the service
managed a payment of GHC 3, 500.00 out of an initial amount of GHC 6,920.00,
leaving the GES with a four-month grace period to settle the rest, failure of
which would necessitate their expulsion from the storey building and its
adjourning ground flats.
Though
GES officials are tight-lipped on the issue, an eviction notice dated August
22, 2012, signed by Ms. Beatrice Nyakor, the landlady and served the Municipal
Director was sighted by the Joy News. It indicated that no extension would be
made of the deadline if the service defaulted in the payment.
Ms.
Nyakor in an interview said “I have had to take this stance because of the
service’s persistent indebtedness. I have already given my action a human face
by extending the initial deadline from August to December, but would not
hesitate to drive them out if they disregard my directives”.
The
Municipal Director of Education, Mrs. Irene Ayernor would not comment on the
issue.
