										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament is expected to begin sittings in the middle zone which includes the Ashanti, Bono, and Bono East Regions from today [Monday, April 25, 2022].</strong></p>
<p>This follows a five-day public hearing in Tamale in the Northern Region on the Auditor General’s report on pre-university educational institutions in the Upper East and Upper West Regions, which cited infractions in most of the Senior High Schools relating to the distribution of essential foods.</p>
<p>The Public Accounts Committee is thus expected to continue with the hearing from today till Saturday, April 30, 2022 in the middle zone.</p>
<p>While in the southern zone, the committee declared a court cashier wanted.</p>

</ul>
<p>The cashier at the Twifo Praso Magistrate Court in the Central Region, Clemence Animabo, was declared wanted for allegedly embezzling over GH¢71,000 of court proceeds over a three-year period.</p>
<p>This came up when the Judicial Service took its turn before the Public Accounts Committee in parliament on Friday, February 11, 2022.</p>
<p>Chairman of the Committee, James Klutse Avedzi, said Clemence Anomabo must be made to pay back the money, and he must turn himself in or risk facing the wrath of the committee.</p>
<p>“The name is Clemence Animabo who was a cashier at the Twifo Praso Magistrate Court. He embezzled GH¢71,759, and he paid GH¢10,492 so the balance of GH¢61,000 is outstanding. He has absconded and is hiding from the court and the police. He is wanted by this committee. He should contact the clerk to this committee in his own interest. If he refuses to come, we will get him,” Mr. Avedzi said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A former Deputy Minority Leader and Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, James Klutse Avedzi, says the Majority in parliament cannot blame anyone for the current woes of the economy.</strong></p>
<p>According to him, the current situation comes down to how poorly the government has managed the economy.</p>
<p>Speaking on The Point of View on Citi TV on Monday, Mr. Avedzi said the claims by some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the current challenges of the economy have been caused by a global crisis are not accurate.</p>
<p>“Nobody should blame the current situation in terms of our economy on what is happening in the world. What is happening around the world is a minute part. It is something that has been building up for years. We are not surprised,” he said.</p>
<p>Mr. Avedzi stressed that the government’s many social intervention programmes and insistence on keeping them against advice by the opposition played a key role in the current situation.</p>
<p>“[We knew] the policies of this government will one day crash. The economy is in tatters. Nothing to write home about and nothing seems to be working. Revenue is not coming, expenditure is high, and borrowing is over the bar,” he said.</p>

</ul>
<p>Responding to suggestions by the Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah that the opposition NDC is not cooperating with the government and deliberately involved in activities to sabotage the government, Mr. Avedzi said the minority in parliament has not been contacted at any point to assist the government get its programmes passed in parliament.</p>
<p>“I’m surprised that the information minister wants to play this game. We do not have any sense of understanding that the challenges that they are gong through, government wants to use parliament to do the Senchi type of conference that NDC did in 2014. We do not have any idea of such a thing. If it is a new thing, they should come straight because we don’t have that idea.”</p>
<p>He further said the minority is in no way working to frustrate government business as suggested.</p>
<p>“We are not frustrating the government. Over the years, we overruled certain things. When it comes to business, quorum is needed, but we overlook it because we want the government to govern, but where the Supreme Court decides to delve into how parliament operates and has made a ruling, we want to go by that ruling,” he noted.</p>
