The Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) has begun the year with a simultaneous inspection of public infrastructure projects funded with petroleum revenues in the Greater Accra and Central Regions. The exercise was based on information provided by the Ministry of Finance on projects and the accompanying disbursements of petroleum revenues through the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA). It is in line with PIAC's mandate of conducting independent assessment of the management and the use of petroleum revenues to ensure maximum impact. The Greater Accra team was led by the Chair, Emerita Professor Elizabeth Ardayfio-Schandorf, and by officials of the Department of Urban Roads of the Ministry of Roads and Highways, and the Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly in some project sites at Teshie and Spintex. They were the rehabilitation of selected roads in Teshie Camp, Southern Command and Mats (now Ghana Military Academy), the Construction of the 7.5-kilometre Teshie-Link and the Construction of a Flyover over the Tema Motorway from the Flowerpot roundabout.
