The Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Brogya Genfi, has described as \u201ccock and bull\u201d stories the excuses by the Ghana@60 Committee that it could not execute most of its programmes due to lack of funds.<\/p>\n
He further called on the President to direct the Auditor General to audit the accounts of the committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cI call on President Akufo-Addo to subject the GH@60 Secretariat to a special audit by the Auditor General if he wants to salvage his government’s sinking image in the fight against corruption. The President has the power to refer special cases for audit to the Auditor General,\u201d he said in statement.<\/p>\n
