Teachers throughout the Asante Akyem Central Municipality have been directed to cough out a stated amount towards the retirement of the outgoing Director Of Education, Andrews Kwame Essuming, investigations by oseikromonline.com have uncovered. 
 
A statement intercepted by oseikromonline.com and signed by Isaac F Obeng-Agyei, Municipal Welfare Officer of the Council Of Heads Of Basic Schools(COHBS), indicated that the teachers paid an amount of GHC3 towards the send-off of the municipal director. 
 
Some teachers who spoke on condition of anonymity to oseikromonline.com about the directive wondered why they will have to raise money in that regard indicating that they will only do it for fear of being victimized.
 
 
"We've been told to pay this amount or risk having our study-leave-with-pay and promotion documentation being delayed", one teacher said.
 
 
Meanwhile, a member of the planning committee of the event slated for Friday, April 7,2017, when contacted hinted that the committee had not issued any such a directive but was quick to add that his outfit will deal with the issue swiftly.
