Venson-Moitoi mum as AG is called in to mop up the mess

 In an interview last week, the minister said that preliminary investigations found that the number of students on government sponsorship was far above the officially placed on such sponsorship. She said that the ministry recently inspected tertiary institutions locally and communicated with education attaches abroad after they discovered that the number of students far exceeded that on official record.

The ministry has re-registered all the students because of the discrepancies.  In some instances, she said, there were 15 students sponsored by government at a particular institution while the official number should be 10.
