The Former President of Chartered Institute of Taxation, Ghana and fellow of Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana, Mr Mike Afflu has called for an operation to retrieve an amount of GHC 52 billion said to have been illegally transferred from Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) into an unknown account.
According to him, it is interesting for such an act to happen in this time where the country’s economy is dwindling.
In a statement to the media, he said, “the Auditor General, must be able to trace who authorized the transfer of the funds, and the account details into which the funds were transferred”.
“Such an amount of money cannot be transferred from GCB without the knowledge and approval of the managing director and his two deputies, not excluding the governor of the Bank of Ghana”, he explained.
He said, “parliament must treat this as a matter of urgency. Ghana needs money”
He therefore urged the minority to as a matter of urgency call on the Auditor General to provide details of persons involved, and ensure all stolen funds are retrieved even as they continue to resist the e-levy
