Minister of Health Kwabena Mintah AkandohChairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Abena Osei-Asare, has instructed the Ministry of Health to provide documentation for a payment of GHS802,725 made towards the proposed construction of a CHPS compound at Kwanyako in Asuogyaman.
At a PAC sitting in Accra on Monday, September 29, Osei-Asare questioned why such a large capital expenditure was not supported by records when reviewed by the Auditor-General.
“This is a capital expenditure item.
According to him, although the GHS802,725 transaction was processed through the official treasury system, the platform does not automatically generate traditional receipts.
The matter arose during PAC’s review of the Auditor-General’s report, which flagged the transaction as an unsupported payment.
