Three government officials allegedly received salaries of over GHC1 million between January 2020 and December 2021 without any official record at the finance ministry, this among other findings have been identified in the latest Auditor General’s report.
According to the latest report, there were no traces of the trio’s personal files on the nominal roll of the ministry. The three individuals; Allotey James, Nana Yaw Asiedu and Adam Habibu received a combined GHC1,112,896.00 as salaries.
In a Facebook post, John Kumah urged the Auditor General to also focus on reporting recoveries made after such reports.
