Samuel Atta Mills, the Ranking Member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament, has referred Ridge Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) and 10 other public institutions to the Attorney-General for prosecution.
The 12 public institutions have been referred to the Attorney-General over their failure to recover funds that were wrongfully paid.
According to Samuel Atta Mills, his decision follows persistent non-compliance by the affected institutions.
Speaking during the Committee’s sitting on Monday, November 3, 2025, the Ranking Member, Samuel Atta Mills, stated, “Those who hadn’t completed their assignments within 30 days—do they come back to you to explain why they haven’t done it? I would recommend that those who haven’t complied within the period be referred to the Attorney-General for prosecution”.
“Komfo Anokye, for instance, has an unearned salary of GH¢3 million that remains unrecovered. The Regional Health Directorate of Agona East has not responded regarding Tier Two contributions, and Amansie South is also among those being referred,” he added.
In related news, Samuel Atta-Mills has tackled the management of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) for exceeding its budget by over GHC180 million.
According to Samuel Atta-Mills, it is mindboggling that the ECG spend all these, and still wants to increase the tariffs of Ghanaians.
Speaking during a PAC meeting on Tuesday, October 28, ranking member Samuel Atta-Mills stated, “It is extremely worrying. Before I refer you to the Attorney General for prosecution, let me go through some of these items. There are thirteen items in your budget that you exceeded, without approval from the board.
This happened in 2023. It is the way you guys spend money at ECG”, he added.
The list of ECGs’ approved budgetary allocations against unapproved expenditures for the year 2023 is as follows;
Foreign Training-GH¢31 Million —GH¢91 Million
Cleaning Expenses-GH¢2.8 Million—GH¢10.4 Million
Honorarium Expenses-GH¢3.8 Million—GH¢4.6 Million
Hotel Expenses-GH¢9.3 Million—GH¢12.2 Million
Staff Fuel-GH¢2.8 Million—GH¢7.9 Million
Communication Expenses-GH¢4.2 Million—GH¢7.9 Million
Consultancy Expenses-GH¢40 Million—GH¢58.6 Million
Industrial Relations-GH¢2 Million—GH¢13 Million
Stakeholder Expenses-GH¢3.1 Million—GH¢49 Million
Publicity Expenses-GH¢5.7 Million—GH¢21.8 Million
Professional Fees and Subscriptions-GH¢731k—GH¢1.5 Million
Overseas Travel Expenses-GH¢14 Million—GH¢29.8 Million
Call Centre Expenses-GH¢23.5 Million—GH¢29.3Million
“All these you did on your own without even board approval. Stakeholders’ expenses: your budget was 3.1 million, and you spent 49 million. And you want to increase our tariffs. Budget approval was for 144 million, and you spent 333 million, which is an excess of 189.2 million”.
He further recommended that the managers involved face the Attorney General for prosecution due to the financial indiscipline.
“This shows financial indiscipline. Those managers who were involved, I’m recommending that they need to face the Attorney General for prosecution,” he added.
