Ghana's president to meet top legal officials to address widespread misuse of public funds, citing a GH¢15 billion audit shortfall.
President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to meet with Ghana’s top judicial and legal officials to tackle persistent misuse of public funds, citing alarming findings in the Auditor-General’s report.
Speaking at a conference in Ho, he criticized recurring financial irregularities and the failure to implement constitutional mandates requiring Parliament to establish follow-up committees for audit recommendations.
Mahama emphasized the need for a fast-track prosecution process to deter misconduct, noting that ineffective Audit Report Implementation Committees have allowed misappropriations—sometimes reaching GH¢15 billion—to continue unchecked.
The meeting aims to strengthen accountability and ensure public officials are held responsible for financial mismanagement.
