Ho
Municipal Assembly threaten boycott
Ho, March 18, Ghanadot/GNA - Some members of the Ho Municipal
Assembly have threatened to boycott of meetings of the assembly
unless government intervened to stop attempts to cover up
alleged gross financial malfeasance at the assembly.
Mr Vincent Segbedzi, Mr Charles Agbelie, Mr Kofi Bansah and Mr
Stephen Adom, assembly members for Bake-Gblefe, Akrofu, Sokode
and Loboli told the GNA that there were moves by people in
responsible positions to help some accountants and revenue staff
implicated to escape sanctions.
They said some of those mentioned to have been involved in
siphoning hundreds of Ghana Cedis out of the assembly’s
internally generated accounts were interfering with
investigations.
According to a report headed “Report on Investigations into the
Internally Generated Revenue of Ho Municipal Assembly”
undertaken by a five-member committee, GHc 184,301.10 internally
generated revenue could not be accounted for.
The report mentioned nine officials of the assembly as having
been unable to account for Ghc 324,973.85.
Other anomalies contained in the report were fraudulent
manipulation of figures amounting to Ghc 9,973.60, fraudulent
payment of commissions and mis-posted figures on trial balance.
