Former Scholarship Secretariat Boss in BNI Custody Over Alleged Irregularities

May 6,2026

Mr. Kingsley Agyemang, former head of the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat (GSC), has reportedly been taken into custody by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) as part of ongoing probes into his tenure in office.

Sources indicate that the arrest is linked to investigations into the administration of scholarship awards during his time as head of the Secretariat. Authorities are examining claims that the selection and allocation processes lacked transparency and may not have adhered to established guidelines.

While officials have yet to release a detailed statement on the matter, the development marks a significant step in efforts to address concerns over accountability and governance within public institutions.

The Ghana Scholarship Secretariat has, in recent years, faced public scrutiny over the management and distribution of scholarships, with calls for reforms to ensure fairness, merit, and transparency in the system.

Mr. Agyemang is expected to assist investigators as inquiries continue. Further updates are anticipated as authorities provide more information on the case.
