The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has paid a working visit to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, to brief him on the Committee’s ongoing Zonal Public Hearing in the Region as part of its oversight responsibilities.
Chairperson of the Committee, Hon. Abena Osei Asare, explained that District Assemblies and public schools in Ashanti, Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, and Western North Regions cited for infractions in the 2024 Auditor-General’s Report have been invited to respond. She assured that the Committee will exercise its mandate with fairness, emphasizing that “PAC will be fair, not witch-hunting” and will recommend appropriate sanctions where necessary to prevent recurrence of such infractions.
In his welcoming remarks, Dr. Amoakohene commended the Committee for its work, noting that the exercise is helping to deepen financial discipline in public institutions. He pledged that all recommendations prescribed by the Committee to strengthen accountability, particularly at the District Assemblies, would be implemented under his watch.
The Committee’s sitting in the Ashanti Region is expected to conclude on Friday, April 24, 2026.
