OccupyGhana has written to the Auditor General reminding him of their demands that he issue disallowances and surcharges to all persons identified as having been either engaged in or responsible for the illegal use of government funds in the 2019 and 2020 Audit reports.
According to the Group, it had earlier on September 9, 2021written to the Auditor General’s Department on the same subject matter.
Unfortunately, the Group said, “We have not received any response from your office on this matter. If you have already taken action, please ignore this letter. But if you have not yet taken action, please do so immediately.”
In their new letter to the Auditor General, OccupyGhana said if they are not assured of any action being taken on their demand within the next seven (7) days, they will proceed with legal action including sending a petition to the Right To Information (RTI) Commission to force the office to provide information on their compliance or otherwise with the mandatory provisions of the Constitution.
“…and its demand that you disallow and surcharge the relevant persons with (i) any illegal expenditures, (ii) amounts not duly brought into account, and (iii) the amounts of all losses or deficiencies arising from negligence or misconduct.”
