The Ghanaian Chronicle says it has established that the national treasury at the Controller and Accountant General's Department was invaded and millions of cedis were carelessly taken from the national kitty.
Officials at the national treasury of the Controller and Accountant General's Department in Accra are still at a loss over how an amount of 950,000,000 was stolen from the fuel unit of the department last year. They are also yet to come to terms with missing fuel coupons running into millions of cedis.
Chronicle established that 350,000,000 cedis of the amount was stolen from the fuel unit of the department in Accra while the mysterious loss of 600,000,000 occurred at the Bolgatanga office. The Public Relations Unit of the Department in Accra told Chronicle on Thursday the police are still investigating the stolen cash at the Accra office and expressed the hope that the thieves would be apprehended.
The unit however claimed innocence of the 600,000,000 that got lost at the Bolgatanga office at a time the electioneering campaign was on-going.
