Ghana National Service Secretariat (NSS) has been cited in Auditor General?s 2012 report for acts of misappropriation including the payment of over Gh?1.3 million without proper documentation. The report also indicated that the NSS had overpaid Gh?49,000 in personal allowances.
The authorities have been asked to produce documents to cover the payment of over Gh? 1.3million or prepare to refund the amount.
According to the report, imprest amounting to Gh?409,000 given to members of staff to run programmes could not be accounted for, hence there is every reason to hold the Secretariat for breaking procurement rules after it awarded a $30,000 contract for the printing of t-shirts without opening to tender.
The Auditor-General?s report which is before Parliament will be referred to the Public Accounts Committee.
