Parliament to probe COVID funds, Agyapa, and PDS scandals

Parliament's second meeting will focus on accountability. It will investigate past financial scandals.

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga announced the Majority Caucus's plans. They will probe COVID-19 spending, the Agyapa Royalties deal, and the $190 million PDS scandal.

Ayariga stated, “There must be consequences for brazen plunder of public resources.” He warned that “the gravest danger to our democracy is impunity.”

Parliament will also seek updates on Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). This includes reviewing $20 billion in financial crimes.

Ayariga criticized the previous administration’s use of sole-sourced contracts. He promised a thorough examination of procurement practices.

He stressed this effort is not about revenge. It aims to restore integrity and justice in public finance management.

The Majority Caucus will hold the Special Prosecutor accountable as well.

Ayariga said they would adopt U.S.-style committee hearings to address systemic corruption.

“This House will not stand idle while public funds are looted with impunity,” he declared.
