Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Minority in Parliament has accused the Akufo-Addo-led NPP government of wasting US$10 million of tax payers’ money to illegally procure audits not sanctioned by the Auditor General.
The Minority indicated that this whopping amount was paid to a private audit firm owned by a member of Akufo-Addo’s Council of State to audit cocoa roads contracts awarded by the erstwhile John Mahama administration.
Eric Opoku, Ranking Member on Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs made the allegation at a press conference.
“…What the Akufo-Addo government has succeeded in doing is to waste millions of the tax payer's money on illegally procured audits not sanctioned by the Auditor General. We are aware that $10 million has been paid to one of such illegally procured private audit firms owned by a member of Akufo-Addo's Council of State and at the right time, we shall make the chilling details available to the Ghanaian people,” he said.
