James Klutse Avedzi
The Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, James Klutse Avedzi, has referred management of the Ghana Maritime Authority to the Attorney General for prosecution.
This comes after the indictment of the authority by the Auditor General in the 2020 report over about 7 different procurement breaches.
Appearing before the committee in the company of Transport Minister Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, the management of the authority was not asked for explanation but straight away referred to the Attorney General’s office for sanctions as recommended by the auditors.

“It’s a straightforward issue, that you are to be sanctioned in accordance with section 92, so we are therefore referring the case to the Attorney General,” the Chairman of the Committee, James Klutse Avedzi said.
