¢54.3m spent on meals during lockdown – Deputy Finance Minister

The Deputy Finance Minister Kwaku Kwarteng has told his outfit is ready to justify the ¢54.3 million that went into the distribution of cooked food during the lockdown in parts of the country.


According to the minister, the Ministry is open to working with the auditors to listdown the manner in which related agencies went about the execution of utilising the expenditure.

“We are happy to join anyone who says we want accountability on these expenditures, the Auditor General should do the audit. When that has been done, we are happy to engage. We are concerned about how the money that we are instructed by the government to send to those who really spent these monies how those monies are spent,” he said on Thursday.

This comes after the announcement by the Finance Minister at paliament that the Nana Addo government spent ¢54.3 million on meals during the imposition of restrictions for 21 days in Accra and Kumasi as part of measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.

According to the minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, ¢50.2 million was also transferred to over 400,000 most-vulnerable individuals under the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) Programme.

This outbreak has raised eyebrows among the minority and a section of the public as to the veracity of this claim made during the Mid-Year Review and Supplementary Budget presentation.

Kweku Kwarteng explained that it is unfair to conclude that the figures enumerated are questionable without a thorough audit.

HE SAID

“Before the auditor has gone to audit and brought you the report, to start giving the impression that somehow you have done your audit already and you are very sure that it was too much, I don’t think it is proper,”

He also urged critics to praise the personnel in the food distribution value chain for their effort during the said period instead of critics drawing bad  conclusions without proper scientific proves.
