Any appearance before the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament is usually a moment of tension and intensity, especially because of the scrutiny that typically takes place at such encounters between the members of the committee and the people in the hot seats. On most days, such engagements turn very contentious or tense but a Ghana Education Service (GES) officer managed to get the whole room intermittently giggling and laughing aloud. Appearing before the committee for squandering overpayment of salary, Emmanuel Samson, a teacher at Akropong Number One D/A JHS, of the Gomoa West District, got the members of the committee riled up from the very moment he took his seat. Asked by , Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, "When you got the money, which was more than the amount you were expecting, did you know at that time when you received the salary?" he replied: "No, please. When I got the money, I thought it was my money until the auditors came in," to which the whole room started giggling, with many of the members laughing.
