Akosua Manu calls for independent audit of GH¢49.7m South Africa evacuation funds

However, Ms Manu maintains that the passport dispute is separate from the questions surrounding the evacuation expenditure and should not take precedence over efforts to establish how the public funds were used.

Ms Manu, who serves as Dr Bawumia’s Advisor on Gender, Children and Social Protection, said the controversy surrounding the issuance of service passports should not distract from questions about the expenditure of public funds.

Her comments come amid a political dispute over Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s handling of a request for a service passport by Nana Boakye.
