Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has called for immediate arrests if allegations of concealed findings in the Auditor-General's COVID-19 expenditure audit are proven, according to investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni's latest report. The investigation revealed discrepancies between the Auditor-General's reported amount of GH¢96 million for COVID-19 fumigation and the actual spending by government ministries, including GH¢299 million by the Ministry of Local Government for three fumigation contracts.
