Northern Births and Deaths Director to face PAC over GH¢71k withdrawals

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has summoned the Northern Regional Director of the Births and Deaths Registry to explain withdrawals totalling GH¢71,300 made without payment vouchers and the required supporting documents.

The Committee subsequently directed the Northern Regional Director to appear before it together with Mr Botchway by Friday to provide explanations on the transactions.

However, the Committee stressed that producing the documents after the transactions did not resolve concerns over whether the required procedures had been followed before the public funds were withdrawn.
