The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament is considering hauling deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa before the Privileges Committee of the House for suggesting that members deliberately shelved an audit report at the Information Ministry that allegedly indicts the Kufuor government. Vice Chairman of the Committee, Mr Kwaku Agyeman-Manu told Myjoyonline.com in an interview that the minister unjustifiably maligned members of the PAC. Mr Ablakwa had told Joy FM the Government had commissioned investigations into the circumstances under which the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament failed to consider an audit report detailing alleged financial malfeasance at the Information Ministry under the NPP government. “We just want to find out what is really amiss because we know that the report was also copied to the Chief of Staff's office…we also want to find out from his office how come the public Accounts Committee said they have not been seized with it,” he said. He subsequently issued a statement on Saturday in which he said, “the circumstances under which a special audit report on the accounts of the then Ministry of Information and National Orientation from 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2008 which did not receive attention at the recent hearings of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament has been resolved.” The statement said, “government [has] found out that it was the view of the Auditor General that such special audit reports be acted upon by the Executive branch which commissioned it hence his department did not make a copy of the special audit available to the Legislature.” Mr Agyeman-Manu believes the minister ought to have done his home work well before seeking to undermine the integrity of members of the committee. “Do you know the implication of what he is trying to say; the implication is that we sit here as a committee on behalf of Parliament and when reports come we sift through and pick those that favour us to discuss and those that ….hurt us, we shelve them, that is what he wants to tell us,” he said. Mr Ablakwa has denied accusing the MPs of selectivity, and told Myjoyonline.com that he is ready to respond to an invitation by the Privileges Committee of the House on the issue.
