Outspoken Political Scientist Professor Ransford Gyampo suspects the directive by the Attorney-General to the Auditor-General to ‘unpublish’ it’s report on the expenditure of COVID-19 funds is an attempt to cover up on expenditure used to mitigate the pandemic.
Prof Gyampo asserted that if the COVID-19 funds had been used well by the Government the audited report on it should have been leaked.
The Attorney General has directed the Auditor General to withdraw its audited report on the use of COVID-19 funds for failing to have document scrutinized by Parliament prior to its publication.

“Godfred Dame, telling the Auditor-General not to publish its report on the use of Covid-19 funds is an unnecessary assault on transparency and cover up. If the funds were used well, then you should actually be leaking the audited report,” he noted.
The audited report has detailed widespread misuse of the huge amounts that was raised to combat the pandemic.
