A member of the New Patriotic Party's communications team, Kofi Tonto, has leveled accusations against the Deputy Finance Minister. He claims the minister is using a report from the Auditor General to push a political agenda.
The report specifically addresses fictitious debts. Tonto stated that the Finance Minister and his deputy are attempting to paint the NPP as corrupt through their handling of this information.
Tonto argued that the ministry's actions are designed to create a negative perception of the NPP. This is seen as a tactic to win political favour.
The Auditor General's report details findings related to government accounts. Its release has sparked debate about financial management and accountability.
Tonto’s statements suggest a political battle is underway concerning the report’s findings. He believes the ministry is exploiting the situation for political gain.
