Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, is calling for a forensic audit of Ghana’s COVID-19 expenditure following evidence suggesting that more than GH¢600 million in fumigation spending may have been left out of the Auditor-General’s special audit.
Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, is demanding a forensic audit of Ghana’s COVID-19 expenditure due to evidence of a potential GH¢600 million gap in fumigation spending. According to Dafeamekpor, this raises concerns about the adequacy of the Auditor-General’s special audit and the government should reopen the matter.
He stated that an independent inquiry could have uncovered the discrepancy, highlighting the inadequacy of the COVID-19 audit conducted by the PAC. Dafeamekpor emphasized that the audit was rushed, leading to some expenditure lines being missed. He believes a forensic audit would delve deeper into inadequately reviewed and unaudited expenditure lines, aiming to provide closure to ongoing questions about the use of public funds during the COVID-19 emergency.
