THIRTEEN persons who allegedly used fake documents to enrol on the National Service Scheme in the Central Region have been handed over to the police.
Briefing the press in Cape Coast, the Central Regional Director of the National Service Secretariat, Nana Odiasempa Antwi, said the impersonators were arrested in Cape Coast, Agona Swedru and Breman Kuntanase between October 8 and October 20, this year.
Nana Antwi said one Ebenezer Eyiah Mensah, a teacher whose documents were found to have been falsified, had already appeared before a court and granted bail in the sum of GH¢1,000.00 to re-appear on October 29, 2010.
He said the mastermind behind the deals, who operates from the University of Education, Winneba, Kumasi Campus, entered into an agreement with clients to pay GH¢70.00 out of the GH¢202.00 allowance paid to service personnel.
He advised service personnel to desist from seeking assistance from other persons and rather approach personnel at the Secretariat for assistance.
He also called on the Ghana Education Service to furnish the secretariat with data on teachers on study leave to enable the secretariat to monitor them.
He said 2,953 personnel out of 4,230 allocated to the region had so far been posted to various institutions and organisations in the region.
