South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor is demanding immediate arrests should allegations from investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni's investigation into COVID-19 expenditure prove true. Speaking on Joy News' PM Express, Dafeamekpor suggested the revelations could expose one of the most serious public finance scandals of the Fourth Republic.
Awuni's investigation questioned how pandemic funds were accounted for and reported, prompting Dafeamekpor to highlight Section 16 of the Audit Service Act. This section mandates the Auditor-General and his officers to report findings from special audits to Parliament. Dafeamekpor argued that if the Auditor-General's office conducted a special audit of the Ministry of Local Government and Transport but concealed material findings, it would constitute a breach of Section 16.
He stated that such a failure would concern the statutory obligation attached to special audits and called for urgent action if the allegations were confirmed.
