PAC summons Takoradi doctor over GH¢341,229 study leave salary

Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has directed the Ministry of Health to facilitate the appearance of a senior medical officer, Dr Mockshell Esinam Sunu, before the Committee over alleged salary payments totalling GH¢341,229 during a study leave she reportedly did not utilise.

The Committee is expected to question Dr Sunu on the study leave arrangements, the continuation of her salary and the roles played by officials responsible for validating the payments as it seeks to establish accountability for the alleged financial irregularity.

The Committee wants her to explain why the payments continued and establish how the alleged irregularity occurred.
