“So tomorrow, should we sponsor somebody else to go and get a PhD? Dr Kennedy Osei come and pay”, he stated.
The Member of Parliament Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) further noted that Dr Osei’s actions had placed an unnecessary burden on the Ministry and all those who guaranteed his bond.
“This is fraud, you are supposed to serve four years, you serve eight months and then you go away,” Atta Mills remarked.
He warned that law enforcement could be engaged to retrieve the amount owed if repayment was not made.
Dr Kennedy Osei, we know you are watching us, come and pay otherwise; we will take the next step”, he added.
