Parliament to probe COVID funds, Agyapa, and PDS scandals – Nsemkeka
Parliament’s second meeting will prioritize accountability, with a series of investigations into past financial scandals.
Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga announced that the Majority Caucus will spearhead efforts to probe COVID-19 expenditure, the Agyapa Royalties deal, and the $190 million PDS scandal.
“There must be consequences for brazen plunder of public resources,” Ayariga told the House.
“The gravest danger to our democracy is impunity.”
He added that Parliament will demand regular updates on the activities of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), especially on the $20 billion in financial crimes under review.
Ayariga criticized the previous administration’s reliance on sole-sourced contracts, pledging a thorough examination of procurement practices.
He emphasised that this is not about revenge but about “restoring integrity and justice to public finance management.”
The Majority Caucus intends to hold the Special Prosecutor accountable as well.
“We will adopt U.S.-style committee hearings to unravel systemic corruption,” Ayariga announced.
“This House will not stand idle while public funds are looted with impunity.”
