A powerful parliamentary committee has told the office of the Auditor General to institute an audit into the K6 billion covid-19 money which the Department of Disaster Management (Dodma) received from government.
Namalomba: Audit Dodma
This follows widespread reports that the money might have been abused.
The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament has since written the office of the Auditor General to institute an audit of the K6.2 billion that was allocated to various Covid19 cluster committees.
The move follows inquiries by some quarters of society who are expressing dissatisfaction with the expenditure reports.
Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, the Acting Auditor-General
Mr Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, the Acting Auditor-General, has urged the public to volunteer information on financial malfeasance in public institutions to the office through the “Citizen Eye Application” for prompt follow-up.
He said the application would enable citizens to report, directly, any suspected cases of financial infractions, poor service delivery, and other identified acts of corruption in public institutions to the Auditor General’s office.
The platform, an initiative of the Ghana Audit Service, was developed under the auspices of the German Development Cooperation.
It aimed at enabling and empowering citizens to report or speak out against corruption while protecting the whistle blower’s identity.
