African Games audit findings are too serious to ignore; officials must answer - NITA Boss
Ing. Dr Mark-Oliver Kevor, Acting Director-General of the National Information Technology Agency (NITA), has called for accountability over findings contained in the African Games audit report, describing the issues raised as "too serious to ignore" and urging those implicated to respond before Parliament. He commented on the report during an interview on JoyNews' Newsfile.
The Local Organising Committee (LOC) allegedly awarded 55 single-source contracts without providing the required justification, with eight of those contracts reportedly receiving approval from the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) only after the procurement processes had already taken place. The report speaks about outstanding liabilities of about GH¢280 million. Dr Kevor noted that the findings were particularly troubling given the stringent procurement and financial management procedures public officials are required to follow.
Dr Kevor urged state investigative and accountability institutions to take an interest in the findings and determine whether further action is necessary. His comments come amid heightened public scrutiny of the African Games audit report, which has sparked debate over procurement practices, contract awards, and outstanding financial obligations.
