Financial infractions have decreased since the implementation of free SHS- James Klutse Avedzi.
"Well, for the Senior High Schools, the majority of their infractions are related to procurement, store management, and when they were collecting fees, some of them embezzled the school fees."
"Now that we have free SHS, most of the procurement issues have gone because most of the procurement is done and food items are supplied to them by the government, and they also do not collect fees again, so infractions have decreased drastically," said James Klutse Avedzi, Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.
Speaking on GTV's Breakfast Show's 'The Scoop Segment' with host Maltiti Sayida Sadick, he added that the schools must also work on "the use of fuel, and documenting the movement of vehicles that have been supplied with fuel."
He emphasized that it becomes problematic if the Auditor General does not find the movements logged in the books and cannot account for the usage of the fuel paid for.
Mr. Klutse Avedzi, Member of Parliament for Ketu North Constituency and Deputy Minority Leader, stated that the money now flowing into schools from the government is proportionate to the cost of running the schools, which primarily includes feeding, fuel costs, and infrastructure development.
"When culprits are found, he said, the punitive action for financial infractions includes no more than a five-year jail term and 25,000 penalty units to deter others from engaging in actions that lead to the offense."
The 2021 Auditor General's report, which was released in 2022, cited more than 17 billion in financial infractions.
