So far all efforts to get government to account for this extra 2.4 billion has failed. This is after the Minister for Finance failed to tell Parliament exactly what accounted for the additional expense on Wednesday July 21st 2021 (Official report columns 044 to 045). He promised to get full details for me, I&#8217;m still waiting.<\/li><li>Note that the same 2021 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review on page 101, Appendix 4E stated that GHC598 million was allocated and released as COVID-19 expenditure to prepare schools for mass reopening.<\/li><li>As well, the Committee on Health indicates that government spent GHC96 million on PPEs for the Ministry of Education when the Ministry of Health attended upon the Committee on Health to defend its Budget request for 2022.<\/li><li>From the above, it&#8217;s clear that: a) 598 million (see item 6), and 98 million (see item 7) went to Covid-19 expenditure for schools.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FB_IMG_1640004644484.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FB_IMG_1640004644484.jpg 720w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FB_IMG_1640004644484-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FB_IMG_1640004644484-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Dr Apaak<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Consequently, the additional 2.4 billion expenditure between 2020 and 2021 assigned to fSHS, increased the expenditure for fSHS since its inception, 2017, to date, 2021 from GH 5,274,021,968 (5.3 billion) to 7,620,000,000 (7.62 billion).<\/li><li>Government must account for the GH2.4 billion additional fSHS expenditure. The Nana Akufo-Addo\/Bawumia NPP government cannot ask Ghanaians to pay new taxes when it cannot account for 2.4 billion additional expenses on fSHS.<\/li><li>What was the additional money used for?
