General News of Wednesday, 11 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comA member of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Akwasi Konadu, has assured the public that there will be no conflict of interest when the committee begins hearings into an audit report detailing suspected financial irregularities amounting to GH¢68.7 billion. His assurance follows concerns that the current PAC chair, Abena Osei-Asare, who previously served as Deputy Minister of Finance, could face a conflict of interest when the committee examines matters related to the previous administration. “Whenever we are considering reports emanating from a government, any person associated with that government will not chair the committee. So, Madam Osei-Asare will recuse herself when the committee examines matters relating to the previous administration,” he said. Whatever was written in the audit report and the House report is final unless additional reviewed evidence emerges to alter any findings,” he indicated.
