The Ranking Member of Ghana\u2019s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Samuel Atta Mills, is demanding sweeping legal reforms to give the committee prosecutorial powers to directly sanction public officials who misuse state funds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking during a recent PAC sitting, the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem legislator argued that the Committee\u2019s authority to summon and question public officials is limited without the ability to enforce its findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Committee has to be given the power to bite,\u201d Mr. Atta Mills declared. \u201cArticle 185 of the Constitution gives us the powers of a High Court to summon people and question them after the Auditor-General\u2019s work. But beyond that, we cannot arrest or sentence anyone. If we want real accountability, the law must be changed to allow us to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Learning from Uganda: Arrests on the Spot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Atta Mills cited Uganda and other East African countries as examples where Public Accounts Committees can immediately act on financial infractions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Uganda, policemen and women sit right at the PAC hearings. When an official is found culpable, they are arrested on the spot. Ghana needs to move in that direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that stronger collaboration between the PAC and the Auditor-General\u2019s Office could also enhance recovery of misused public funds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Auditor-General can surcharge individuals who misuse state funds, and we can support those cases to ensure the money is recovered. If Parliament were empowered to enforce these matters directly, we\u2019d be ready to act,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

PAC Warns Universities: Fix Lapses in Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Atta Mills also turned his attention to Ghana\u2019s public universities, urging them to strengthen internal administrative systems to avoid recurring financial mismanagement reported by the Auditor-General.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost every university has issues with unearned salaries or scholarships granted to people who never returned. These are basic administrative lapses that can be avoided with proper oversight,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He advised the institutions to tighten controls and improve follow-up mechanisms, especially in managing lands, scholarships, and payroll systems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you award scholarships, follow up on the beneficiaries. Secure your lands properly. These details matter, and we\u2019ve seen the same problems across almost every university appearing before the Committee,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n

Government Scholarship System Under Scrutiny<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ranking Member also called for greater accountability in Ghana\u2019s scholarship schemes, particularly for beneficiaries who fail to return after studying abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know people who got government scholarships to study abroad and never came back. Some didn\u2019t complete their programs, while others stayed overseas doing unrelated jobs. This denies other deserving students the chance to benefit,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

He called on government agencies to track scholarship beneficiaries and enforce return obligations to protect the state\u2019s investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state sacrifices resources for these students. If we fail to ensure accountability, we will lose future opportunities for others,\u201d Mr. Atta Mills stressed.<\/p>\n
