Accountability Will No Longer Be Optional- Finance Minister on Financial Infractions
The Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has vowed to uphold accountability in the fight against financial infractions.
At a meeting with Chief Directors and key audit heads, he emphasised that discipline in public financial management is a duty to Ghanaians.
“This is a new chapter. Accountability will no longer be optional. Discipline in public financial management is not just a requirement. It is a duty we owe to every Ghanaian.”
He emphasised that persistent waste sends the wrong signal about the country and undermines the peace, stability and confidence.
“We cannot continue to lose scarce national resources through infractions that are completely avoidable. Ghana truly deserves better.”
He thereby encouraged the team to drive these infractions down to the barest minimum and reminded them that Ghana has specialised courts ready to prosecute breaches of its financial laws.
