…Secret Briefing Points to Missing Documentation Trail in Over US$50,000 School Allocations
Barclayville City, Grand Kru County I April 15, 2026 I New concerns are emerging over the financial management of funds allocated to PG Wollor High School, as confidential administrative sources point to a widening documentation gap that has made it difficult to independently verify how more than USD$50,000 in public education funds was spent.
According to internal education briefings reviewed by sources familiar with county-level discussions, the issue is no longer being framed solely as a case of alleged misappropriation, but increasingly as a failure of record continuity between successive administrations.
“The challenge at this stage is not just about expenditure claims, but the absence of a complete and consistent financial file that tracks the entire project lifecycle,” a senior administrative source disclosed.
The source indicated that internal reviews have struggled to reconcile payments reportedly linked to school rehabilitation with supporting documentation such as vouchers, contractor completion certificates, and procurement records among others.
At the center of the controversy are funds reportedly allocated for infrastructure and learning improvements at the school, including:
USD$20,000 for annex rehabilitation
USD$5,000 for a digital computer laboratory setup
USD$50,000 for major renovation works on the school campus.
Additional references in internal briefings reportedly include US$30,000 in cheques disbursement and L$3,452,000, though sources say the supporting paperwork remains fragmented.
“What we are seeing in the internal review summaries is a mismatch between disbursement references and a complete audit trail,” another source familiar with the administrative file noted.
According to confidential accounts, both current and former county education officials have been unable to present a unified record package that clearly outlines approvals, payments, and project execution milestones.
“Even when earlier transaction references are traced, the supporting documents tied to implementation are either incomplete, inconsistent, or not centrally filed,” the source added.
The matter stems from allocations made under national and county-level education support initiatives, including funds tied to school rehabilitation priorities approved in previous fiscal budgets.
Sources say the absence of a consolidated file has complicated efforts to determine whether funds were fully utilized, partially executed, or remain outstanding in accounting records.
“At this point, the issue being flagged internally is the integrity of the project documentation system itself,” a senior insider said.
The situation has placed renewed attention on County Education Officer Josiah Sloh Negba, who was expected to oversee follow-up verification after an earlier directive linked to a February 2025 call for investigation by Senator Numene T.H. Bartekwa.
However, internal sources say there is still no finalized reconciliation report in circulation as of the drafting this story.
The unresolved documentation gap has now become a central concern for administrative observers tracking public education expenditures in Grand Kru.
For now, according to confidential briefings, the key unresolved issue remains:
Where is the complete financial record for PG Wollor High School funds?
