The Government of Ghana has unveiled a plan to establish special courts to expedite cases arising from audit infractions identified in the Auditor-General’s Report. This move aims to strengthen accountability, transparency, and the rule of law in the country’s financial management.
The special courts will be tasked with handling cases related to financial irregularities uncovered during audits. This includes enforcing surcharges and disallowances, as well as prosecuting related criminal offenses. By doing so, the government seeks to promote transparency and accountability, while deterring the misuse of public funds.
The initiative also focuses on ensuring the prompt recovery of monies owed to the state. This is part of the government’s broader agenda to ensure that audit findings are treated as actionable offenses with real consequences, rather than mere administrative lapses.
The decision was made during a high-level meeting between President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and the Auditor-General. According to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister for Government Communications and Spokesperson to the President, this initiative will help ensure accountability and transparency in the management of public funds.
