To make matters worse, Mr Namoale said the rejection letter was re-addressed to him instead of the main applicant.
Commenting on the award of scholarships to politicians and other influential people in Ghana as indicated in the Auditor-General’s performance report, he urged the individuals mentioned to refund the monies.
Mr Namoale stressed there were more deserving applicants at the time the politicians were awarded the scholarships, hence a refund is the only solution to put the case to rest.
