The Minister of Education has clarified that he received two thousand, two hundred, ninety nine computers and not four thousand as is being alleged.

Dr. Joseph Korto said the ministry has already refurbished and distributed two thousand one hundred one of the computers.

The Education Minister said the computers were distributed to a number of educational and non-educational institutions across the country.

Minister Korto said educational institutions were given the computers free of charge while non-educational institutions paid one hundred US dollars per computer.

He told reporters the service fees were used to refurbish the computers.

The clarification comes in the wake of allegations by Dr. Joseph Woah-Tee that Dr. Korto sold four thousand donated computers and pocketed the money.
