Covid Funds: Akufo-Addo And Ofori-Atta Giving Different Accounts – Minority
The Minority in Parliament has said that the government’s accounts on the Covid-19 expenditures are contradictory.
According to the Caucus, President Akufo-Addo and the Finance Minister have given different figures in relation to how much has been spent on the pandemic.
Contributing to discussions on the presentation by the Finance Minister in Parliament on Wednesday, June 22, the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu noted that the contradiction is unpardonable.
“Mr. Speaker, the Minister at page 4 in his statement accounts for GHS19.3 billion as programme support received then Mr. Speaker when you come to expenditure on Covid, he accounts for GHS12 billion, then the President accounts for GHS17.7 billion. So where is the missing money? GHS17.7 billion against GHS12 billion, where is the money?,” he quizzed.
Haruna Iddrisu said either the President or the Minister is not being truthful to Ghanaians.
