She noted that the works of the Public Accounts Committee and the support of the Auditor-General have resulted in the retrieval of GHC12.9 billion to the state.

"Yes, we are making impact, but we can do better that what we are doing now; and that is why we want to ask for support from the media as well, because we're all partners in this".

She noted that a full and comprehensive report on the works of the Committee with support from the Auditor General which provides details on the retrievals is being worked on and would be made public when concluded.

The Chairperson noted that even though there have been improvements in the infractions, she believes an improved sanction regime will be the cure to excessive infractions at the various state agencies.

Madam Abena Osei-Asare observed that agencies don't give the auditors the maximum attention and support during the discharge of their duty, and that explains why a lot of the institutions failed to furnish the auditors with documentations to their transactions, only to provide those same documents later after they have been cited for infractions.

“But all is not lost, and we will continue to do our best to ensure duty bearers follow the rules to the later”. She encouraged those who are yet to appear before the Committee to follow the right path.
