This could be the greatest public finance scandal of 4th Republic if confirmed – Dafeamekpor on COVID-19 audit
Majority Chief Whip and South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has called for immediate arrests if allegations of concealed findings in the Auditor-General’s COVID-19 expenditure audit are established.
South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has called for swift arrests in light of allegations surrounding the Auditor-General's COVID-19 expenditure audit. Dafeamekpor's comments follow revelations made by investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, who discovered discrepancies in the audit report. The investigation found that the Auditor-General had omitted significant spending figures from their report, particularly in relation to the Ministry of Local Government's fumigation contracts.
Dafeamekpor stated that if the allegations prove true, it could constitute the most significant public finance scandal in Ghana's Fourth Republic. He emphasized that the Auditor-General has a legal obligation to report findings to Parliament and that omitting crucial details from the report constitutes a breach of Section 16. Dafeamekpor is contemplating issuing a formal statement but stressed that immediate action is necessary if the allegations hold up.
