Auditor‑General Report: Heads Must Roll Among Technical Officers

Dr. Eric Oduro Osae, governance and PFM expert, argues that in light of the Auditor‑General’s 2024 report revealing GHâ‚”18.4 billion in financial irregularities, it’s not just politicians who should be held responsible—but also entrenched technical officers such as finance directors and chief directors. What We FoundSpeaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile in July 2025, Dr. Osae explained that while politicians approve policy decisions, the actual authorisation and execution of financial transactions are carried out by career civil servants. He argues the so-called “permanent government”—finance officers, chief directors—must also be held to account.The 2024 Auditor‑General’s report flagged a 109% increase in financial irregularities—from GHâ‚”8.8 billion in 2023 to GHâ‚”18.4 billion, of which GHâ‚”15.57 billion is recoverable while GHâ‚”2.84 billion stemmed from administrative lapses.Dr. Osae emphasised that recovery alone is inadequate; officials must face disciplinary measures. “Heads must roll,” he insisted, as a means to bolster public trust and […]

Discontinuation of UniBank Case Creates Avenue to Loot

NPP member Kwadwo Poku argues that the Attorney‑General’s decision to discontinue the UniBank criminal case—based on the 60% recovery threshold—creates an avenue for looting, as it undermines accountability and may embolden misuse of public funds. What We FoundSpeaking on JoyNews Newsfile on July 26, 2025, Poku criticised the AG’s use of nolle prosequi in the high‑profile UniBank case involving Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and seven others. He warned that halting prosecution despite some recovery sends the message that misconduct can go unpunished once pledges are fulfilled. He insisted that retrieval of misappropriated funds is not enough. According to Poku: “What we should remember
 is that we are now creating an avenue for loot
 Because when people realize that you can take enough [and] do anything that you want to do
 it is sad.”He added that indictment and prosecution must follow alleged wrongdoing, […]

Ato Forson: Akufo‑Addo Govt Mismanaged Devastating DDEP

Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana’s Finance Minister and Minority Leader, alleges that the Akufo‑Addo/Bawumia government mismanaged the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), creating a legacy of crippling debt, inflated advisory fees, and banking sector collapse. 🔍 What We Found Forson warned that Ghana inherited GHS 150.3 billion in domestic debt obligations under the DDEP, with repayments looming between 2027 and 2028 that significantly strain fiscal capacity.

Zelensky Announces New Draft Law to Restore Anti‑Corruption Agency Independence

Following widespread protests and international criticism over a law curbing the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies, President Zelensky has announced a new draft bill designed to restore autonomy to NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office).
