Students stranded as contractor locks govt school over debt

We have received distressing news from the Galilea M/A Basic School, where pupils are facing uncertainty due to a dispute between the government and Geos Anointing Construction Company. The company has taken the drastic step of locking down a six-unit classroom block as a result of unpaid debts from the government, stemming from a 12-unit classroom block project awarded in 2017.



Christopher Newman, the Public Relations Officer for Geos Anointing Construction Company, has shed light on the situation, citing the government's failure to compensate the company for the completed first phase of the project. This financial setback has had serious implications, leading to the repossession of two houses owned by the company's proprietor by banks.


In light of these developments, it is evident that the education and well-being of the pupils at Galilea M/A Basic School are at stake. The intervention of the Municipal Chief Executive and Ga South Assembly staff to assess the situation and engage in negotiations with the contractor is a welcome step. It is imperative that a resolution is reached swiftly to ensure that the pupils and teachers can resume their educational activities without further disruption.


As discussions unfold to address this pressing issue, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the interests of the students. The future of these young learners should not be compromised due to financial disputes. We urge the government and Geos Anointing Construction Company to expedite efforts towards a mutually beneficial resolution.


The plight of the pupils at Galilea M/A Basic School serves as a sobering reminder of the far-reaching consequences of delayed payments and contractual disputes. It is our hope that a swift and amicable resolution can be achieved, allowing the focus to return to what truly matters – providing a conducive learning environment for the students. 


We will continue to monitor developments closely and advocate for a prompt resolution to this distressing situation.
