Sewua Hospital project under audit after overpayment was detected – Health Minister

The Chairman of the Assurances Committee and Member of Parliament for Bimbilla, Dominic Aduna Bingab Nitiwul, acknowledged the challenges surrounding the project and urged the government to complete the audit before taking any further decisions.

The minister stressed that any payment exceeding the contract sum approved by Parliament required parliamentary approval, revealing that the government had identified payments made beyond the approved contract value.

The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has disclosed that the government has uncovered an overpayment on the contract for the Sewua Government Hospital project, prompting an audit before any further action is taken.
