Akufo-Addo’s Gov’t Squanders GH¢195 BILLION in Dubious Contracts!

Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has revealed a staggering GH¢195 billion in contracts awarded by Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) under the previous Akufo-Addo administration .

Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV on Wednesday, March 12, just a day after presenting the 2025 Budget.

Dr. Forson expressed alarm at the sheer scale of commitments made, prompting him to suspend payments while seeking further clarification from the MDAs involved. The situation is further complicated by multiple payment requests submitted to the Ministry of Finance. MDAs had awarded contracts over GH¢195 billion. Then, aside from that, the MDAs had generated certificates yet to be paid.

Those that went to the Ministry of Finance and were being processed to the Controller and Accountant General amounted to GH¢18.2 billion.

Another GH¢49.5 or GH¢49.6 billion were certificates yet to be processed at the Accountant General’s office for payment. So, I was alarmed. And they expect the government to pay them,” he stated.
