The Chairperson of Parliament's Public Accounts Committee, Abena Osei-Asare, urged state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to take corrective action on audit findings, aiming to enhance operations and bolster accountability in managing public resources. During a visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) on October 21, 2026, she commended the Authority's Chief Executive Officer, Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, for his performance before the Committee.
Osei-Asare praised Tamakloe's responses to questions during the Committee's proceedings, noting his strong grasp of the issues raised, including the audit on the UPPA. She emphasized that audit reports must lead to practical measures such as recovering misused funds, improving internal controls, and imposing sanctions for breaches.

Osei-Asare explained that the Committee's visit to the NPA aimed to help members better understand the Authority's operations, enabling them to conduct more informed oversight.
