Minority questions legality of GH¢350m flood funds, wants Finance and Justice Ministers before Parliament

The Minority in Parliament is demanding a probe into the disbursement of GH¢350 million earmarked for flood relief and post-flood mitigation, insisting that unanswered questions remain over the source of the funds and the process used to release them.

The Minority had earlier raised concerns over the Ministry of Finance’s announcement that the funds had been released despite an unresolved court process involving the Contingency Fund, which Parliament had initially approved as the source of the money.

Speaking on Joy FM's Top Story on Wednesday, July 8, Mr Shaib said the Minority’s request was straightforward: Parliament must investigate the transaction to establish how what he described as an “illegitimacy” was eventually legitimised and whether the funds were actually disbursed from the lawful source.
