The Education Minister, Haruna Iddrisu, has commended the Multimedia Group Limited and its investigative correspondent Manasseh Azure Awuni for their report on the sexual misconduct allegations at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) involving the headmaster and some female students.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Tuesday, October 27, the Minister praised the media house and the journalist for bringing the matter to public attention.
“We should thank Manasseh Azure and JoyFM for the exposé,” he said.
“But what is important is for us to establish evidence on all the matters relating to it in order that we can prosecute on the basis of the strength of the evidence,” he added.
His commendation follows an investigative report by JoyNews into the allegations, which have sparked public concern over student safety and the management of schools.
The Minister’s remarks come as authorities face calls to investigate the allegations and ensure accountability in the handling of the case.
