The Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has informed Parliament that the contract awarded to Bluegrass Group Limited for the supply of Kapek scientific mathematical instruments has been terminated for breach of contract.

According to the Minister, the contract was terminated as a result of non-performance on the part of the supplier and was done in line with Section 24 (1a) of the General Conditions of Contract.

Dr. Adutwum made the revelation when he appeared before the House to respond to a question from Dr Clement Apaak, Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South.

Dr Apaak wanted to know from the Minister if Bluegrass had supplied 853,009 units of Kapek maths sets to the Ministry of Education at an estimated cost of GH₵63,975,675 at a unit cost of GH₵75.
