Stephen Desu, President of Innovative Teachers, says the union is set to file a lawsuit against KA Technologies, AG, GES and Ministry of Education over the one-teacher, one laptop policy.
This is in line with the distribution of laptops to teachers under the ‘one teacher, one laptop’ policy.
Government will deduct an amount of GH¢509 from the teachers’ professional development allowance as payment for the one-teacher, one laptop policy.
Speaking in an interview with host of Atinka FM’s AM Drive Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Stephen Desu, President of Innovative Teachers said thay group will file a suit against the KA Technologies, AG, GES and Ministry of Education over the “fraudulent” one-teacher, one laptop policy.
Acording to Stephen Desu, the Innovative Teachers are tax paying Ghanaians and that they have every right to protect the public purse.
He reiterated that the Innovative Teachers group will ensure that the decision to waste and abuse public funds using the one-teacher, one laptop policy will be prevented.

“We want government to abrogate the contract it has with KA Technologies. The law gives every citizen the duty to prevent waste and abuse of public funds. We’ve gone to all these places to verify and they told us that it was in November and everything took place in November 2020 so a company with no track record, a company with no certification by Ghana Standard Authority, how did it get this contract?,” he told Kaakyire Ofori Ayim.
Stephen Desu also added that the union will oppose any decision to present locally assembled laptops to teachers.
He maintained that teachers in the country do not want any “RLG like” laptop in Ghana.
