We Didn't Use State Fund To Pay Our Kids School Fees - Nana Konadu

Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agymang Rawlings has denied reports that the state founded her children's school fees whilst they were in office.

Reaching to concerns raised by some callers on a radio programme that part of the Wastage of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government was the huge amount of money it was spending to pay the four children of ex-president Rawlings, who are all attending prestigious institutions outside the country.

The former First Lady said her children were benefiting from scholarships awarded to them by some European institutions.

She however failed to name the institutions. Nana Konadu first touched on the issue of her children's education abroad sometime ago when she said that they have to leave the country to study abroad because of persistent harassment by the teachers.

She said that time that it was some benevolent Ghanaians who were paying for the school fees. She also failed to give the names of those Ghanaians and their vocations abroad.
