PAC Questions GH¢35.8m Expenditure Without Documents

Parliament's Public Accounts Committee questions the Ministry of Sports over undocumented expenses for police during the African Games.

The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament has raised concerns about money spent for the 2023 African Games.

The Ministry of Sports and Recreation claimed GH¢35.8 million. This money was meant for deploying 6,000 police officers during the games.

This claim was submitted to the Ministry of Finance. However, the committee noted the absence of supporting documents.

Officials from the Ministry of Sports were questioned by the committee about this expenditure.

The committee wants to ensure public funds are used responsibly and accounted for properly.

This oversight is part of the parliamentary process to scrutinize government spending.

The lack of documentation raises questions about the transparency of the spending.

Further details on the expenditure are expected from the ministry.
