The member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Honaroble Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has alleged that GHS1.3billion of Ghana’s oil revenues is missing.
In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Saturday, 29th October 2022, he wrote;
“The Auditor-General says he cannot vouch for the “accuracy and completeness of revenue figures” under Ken Ofori-Atta’s watch.
Page 10 of the AG’s 2021 audit report on General Government reveals that whereas Ken’s ministry insists that our 2021 oil revenue (ABFA) was GHS2,061,122,607.00, the Controller and Accountant-General reports GHS3,368,095,788 in its statement of financial performance. That represents a staggering discrepancy of some GHS1.3billion.”
Okudzeto concluded that, Ken Ofori-Atta should definitely go and quickly he must; however, when he’s gone, we will need a major forensic probe into his entire tenure.
