The Minority in Ghana's Parliament has expressed concerns over the lack of proper accounting for GH¢6.27 million designated for reintegration and transportation of Ghanaians evacuated from South Africa. According to Minority members, only 824 out of 1,964 evacuees received both the GH¢5,000 reintegration grant and the GH¢500 transport allowance, leaving 1,140 evacuees with unaccounted funds.
The minority's analysis involved comparing names on the reintegration and transport registers to identify those who received both payments. The discrepancies were part of a larger set of issues identified in the evacuation records, which the ministry valued at GH¢49.72 million. The minority highlighted differences in the number of people who signed for the two packages, with 1,708 signing for the reintegration grant and 1,001 for the transport allowance.
They also questioned the accuracy of flight and layover expense records, which they claimed only accounted for 1,173 evacuees instead of the reported 1,964. The minority further raised concerns about duplicate names in the registers and the handling of payments for minors. They called for a thorough and independent audit of the evacuation exercise, demanding that the Auditor-General oversee the process and release the findings publicly.
