TOR Case: Parliament’s handling of contracts must be strengthened – Benjamin Boakye

Mr Boakye said the case had exposed weaknesses in the way parliamentary committees scrutinise contracts before they are approved, calling for greater attention to the process to safeguard Ghana’s public institutions.

We may need to ask whether there is enough capacity in parliament to do it, and also make sure that all the technical work can be properly checked to safeguard the public interest.

You have a few people who sit on the committee, and they hijack the whole committee and become more or less the technical people who may just compromise just 30,000 dollars and the entire country is shortchanged," he said on JoyFM's Super Morning Show on Monday, August 10, while discussing the case.
