The first sitting which came off on Wednesday at the old Parliament house saw in attendance the Auditor General and the Solicitor General at the Attorney General’s office.
Chief Director of the Finance Ministry and the Controller and Accountant General who were supposed to be among the attendees did not turn up on the first day of the sitting.
Before adjournment of today’s sitting, the Auditor General, Richard Quartey failed to tender in the necessary documents requested by Justice Yaw Appau who presided over the meeting.
The Auditor General was asked to submit records since 1992 up to date before the Commission. He ascribed his inability to present all records to some constraints and as a result provided only those from year 2000.
Also, the Solicitor General who was represented by Naana Dontoh requested for more time to put the necessary documents together in order to assist in the investigations.
Sole Commissioner, Justice Yaw Appau, expressed surprise over the turn of events and the inability of the officials to present the required documents.
He bewailed the absence of the Chief Director of the Finance Ministry and the Controller and Accountant General, thereby warning to issue an arrest warrant should any person refuse to honour the invitation of the Commission.
