  1. Auditor-General's COVID-19 audit questioned over unreported spending

    An investigative report alleges that Ghana's Auditor-General omitted hundreds of millions of cedis in COVID-19 fumigation spending from its audit findings, including GH¢299 million spent by the Ministry of Local Government. The Majority Chief Whip called the discrepancy a potential major public finance scandal if the allegations are established.

  2. Auditor-General's COVID-19 audit questioned over omitted spending

    An investigation found that the Auditor-General's COVID-19 audit reported GH¢96 million in fumigation expenditure while government ministries spent hundreds of millions more on the exercise, with the Ministry of Local Government's GH¢299 million in fumigation contracts not included in the reported figure. The Ghana Audit Service confirmed the expenditure was audited but has not explained its omission, prompting the Majority Chief Whip to warn that if proven, this could constitute an unprecedented public finance scandal.

    Former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo attributes a significant discrepancy between reported COVID-19 fumigation expenditure—GH¢720 million found by journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni versus GH¢96 million in the Auditor-General's special audit—to either withheld information from auditors or inadequate audit conduct. Domelevo noted that deliberately withholding audit information could breach the Audit Service Act, but said he could not determine the exact cause since he was uninvolved in the audit.
