Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh was among the list of Ministers who took the GETFUND scholarship. Mathew Opoku Prempeh was listed as studying National and International Security at Harvard University, receiving $12,800 for living expenses and $11,200 as tuition fees. Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh on his part has confirmed receiving a scholarship from GETFund in 2014 to participate in a 3-week certificate programme at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. "I have noted with dismay news carried by some media, that suggests that I have as a Minister, received a scholarship from the Ghana Education Trust Fund for studies at Harvard. "This impression is false and calculated to cause embarrassment and public ridicule. I have not received any form of sponsorship for any program or course of study from GETFund of scholarship secretariat since becoming a Minister," he said.
