He also had his interview at the same time to receive the scholarship.
Hon. Offinam Takyi was also a member of the team that reviewed the applicants and gave himself, wife and kids high marks.
This conflict of interest situation took place in Bechem where the interview took place.
Some party members who have heard of this have expressed concern about why the MCE would not assist party members to get scholarships but will rather take what should go to them.
The party members have called on President Akufo-Addo not to appoint Mr. Offinam Takyi as their MCE for the second time.
