Former President John Mahama has dared the Akufo-Addo-led government to allow an independent forensic audit into how COVID-19 funds were used.
Mr Mahama believes the government used the funds to support its 2020 election campaign.
Speaking at the 4th Summit of the NDC Professional Forum in the Ashanti Region, Mr Mahama noted that he stands by his claim that the government misused the Covid-19 funds by, among other things, using the money to finance the New Patriotic Party’s election 2020 campaign.
“Parliament presented a motion to ask for a parliamentary investigation into how the COVID-19 funds were used. Who were those who threw out that motion? It was the NPP administration. The only way you can prove me wrong and say that that money was not used for election 2020 is to allow for an independent forensic audit into how the money we received during the COVID pandemic was used. Prove me wrong,” he threw the challenge.
Meanwhile, the government said it spent the GHS19 billion covid funds to ease the suffering of Ghanaians due to the pandemic
