The Ranking Member on the Public Accounts Committee, Samuel Atta Mills, has publicly called out Dr Kennedy Osei, a former staff of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, for failing to fulfill his bond obligations after receiving government sponsorship to study abroad.
During a committee sitting on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, it came to light that the length of the bond was 4 years and served for 8 months and he owes the government.

“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.
