They have however , communicated to the general public through their Public Affairs person that until the amount of GH¢90 million is paid to them , the exam will have to be on hold.
According to Mr. John Kapi Natto , the public affairs person , the examination papers have already been printed with their own money but the money to deploy their officers and questions to the various centers , they do not have , so until they receive their money they are not sending neither the papers nor the officers.

What we need is to get money from the government and then we send our officers out there and conduct the examination “.
Mr. John Kapi Natto added that ” In view of that , we are afraid we might have to postpone the exam because there is no money anywhere for us to use for the examination “.
