Chairman of the Public Account Committee (PAC), Dr. James Klutse Avedzi has said the work of the committee is helping to ensure the nation saves hung funds that would have gone to waste but are rather returned to government coffers.
He further explained that most of the infractions are addressed by the perpetrators before the public hearing begins.
According to chairman of the committee, it is wrong for the public to hold on to a notion that persons indicted in the Auditor General’s report are left unpunished and further dispel the notion that aside exposing the rot in the public sector no action is taken to either retrieve monies.
The committee would look at the Internally Generated funds (IGF) of the various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) without looking at their common fund this time around.
Technical Universities of Ho and Koforidua in the Eastern Region will appear before the Pubic Account Committee today Monday 7th May 2018 then the committee would also look at reports on the pre-tertiary institutions, secondary schools in the Eastern and Volta Regions cited in the 2015 to 2016 Auditor General’s report.
The committee would wrap-up its Regional public hearing in Greater Accra after the one week public hearing in the Volta Region.
