The Auditor General’s Department says it had completed the submission of special audit reports on accounts of all the 110 district assemblies.
Mrs Ruby Nyarko, Deputy Auditor-General, presented the last batch of five audit reports to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development this week, a statement from the Ministry said in Accra on Thursday.
The statement named the last five districts as Abura-Asebu Kwamankese, Asikuma/Odoben/Brakwa, Gushiegu/Karaga, Kassena Nankana and Wassa West. Mrs Nyarko requested the Ministry to include the audit service in the training programmes of the assemblies so that malfeasance and all negative practices could be curbed.
Captain (rtd) Effah Nkrabea Dartey, Deputy Minister of Local Government, received the reports and commended the service for the job done.
He advised district chief executives, presiding members and staff of assemblies to desist from corruption since “this government will not allow them to go free when caught by the law.”
