In the Ghanaian Times of Thursday March 12,2015 appeared this story at page four (4) of its column –“PAC QUIZZES FINANCE MINISTER–The Finance Minister was asked to explain some discrepancies in the management of the Multi-donor budget inflows from development partners. The discrepancies ranged from failure to acknowledge inflows amounting to GHc973 million, failure totransfer an amount of GHc20 millioninto the Consolidated Fund and transfer of funds into wrong accounts, among others. The study, conducted by the Auditor General between 2010 and2011 showed that some donor or development partners have refused to support the country’s budget due to the failure of Government to meet most of the disbursements triggers. Anamount of US$10 millionreceived from the Government of Switzerland on 11/10/2012, was not captured in the Consolidated Fund. The amount was transferred into a different account instead of the designated accounts for inflows from development partners at the Bank of Ghana.”
