Accra 2023: Minority demands accountability of $240m expenditure

The Minority in Parliament has disclosed that it will demand a value-for-money report on the $240 million approved for the 13th African Games held in Accra when the house resumes sitting.

Speaking to Citi News, the Ranking Member on the Youth and Sports Committee, Kobena Mensah Woyome, said the value for money report would expose the exact cost involved in the continental event.

“As I speak to you today, we haven’t received it [the value for money report].

So why haven’t we received it [the Value for Money report]!

And not that we have not been asking

“The experts in the industry and the engineers in the industry are calling and saying that looking at how much money we used for this ABCD, per their professional calculation, they think they are not just the best.

So we are working on looking at the infrastructure, how much money we used and so if they have the value for money report, then they should make it available for us.”
