Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, James Klutse Avedzi, has expressed anger over the Ministry of Health and Ghana Police Service’s failure to retrieve GH₵1.3 million worth of missing condoms and birth control shots.
According to the Auditor General’s report, the items vanished into thin air while in transit from the Temporary Central Medical Stores Requisition in Tema to the Regional Medical Stores in the Eastern Region in August 2022.
Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee this morning, the Director of Policy Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation at the Health Ministry said that two years on, the vehicle and items still cannot be found.
She told the committee that "the driver immediately thereafter had a stroke, was very ill and has also retired."
On the whereabouts of the vehicle involved, the Director insisted that "it will be difficult to tell where the vehicle is now but it is very obvious that the items could not get to the Eastern Regional Medical Stores."
