Audit Account Of First Lady Over Refund - Minority Tells A-G

  The Minority in Parliament has served notice to rely on the Chairman of the Public Account Committee (PAC) to write officially to the Auditor-General (A-G) to audit the account of the First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo. This follows the decision of the First Lady to refund the GH¢899,000 allowances she has received from the state since 2017. Yesterday, the Office of the President released a press statement that it had received a cheque covering the amount from Mrs Akufo-Addo. Addressing the press in Parliament yesterday, the Minority explained that an audit by the A-G would help to determine whether the money the First Lady was using to refund the allowance she was paid, was indeed her own resources, or funds she took from her foundation which was funded by state agencies such as Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and GCB.
