This error is very damaging. The man's reputation is totally ruined. People are paid to work but a lot of people don't work.

What nonsense. There are some particular names of people on this platform that belittles the intellectual level of the entire platform. Karikacher is one of them. He never fails to appear stupid and dumb.

Sue the AG? You must be joking! The AG just made the man popular. Never heard his name until this incident. Mr. Kpodo, this is just like President Akuffo-Addo making the slip related to Nii Lante Vanderpuye and saying after that "manka no yie koraa" This made Nii Lante more popular. So turn this incident around and people will remember you always. May become useful one day.

I have been wondering how this could have been with the implementation, and the regular reviews, of all these many processes and procedures that ensure accuracy, fraud prevention, and improvements in the efficiency of public financial and operational management, especially, payroll accounting. These include making sure that the processes and procedures do not come under the control of any one person.

This unfortunate situation is, however, an indication of gross incompetence on the part of the Auditors, which must not be taken lightly. They have all along been too much fixated on fraud detection and the persons involved in their approach to work, as if that is the sole purpose of auditing. To the neglect, mostly, of the other aspects of verifying and authenticating the implemented processes and procedures (internal controls) that ensure accuracy, prevention of the very fraud they are much fixated on and improvements in efficiency. That is one of the reasons why we keep reading/hearing about fraud, year in, year out from their reports, with no solution in sight. And the worrying part of this situation is that they are, in most instances, unable to secure any conviction in the court of law for the reported fraud. They turn into a back and forth battle between the two A-Gs and the courts.

The supposed error, characterised as transpositional error is a misnomer, wrong characterisation. Transpositional error occurs when the positions of figures of an amount is unintentionally transposed or switched, e.g., posting ¢5,600 to an account instead of ¢6,500 that should have been posted to the same account. But the error, being described in this reportage, is that of an “error of commission”. That is, an amount unintentionally posted to a wrong account. In this case ¢427, 995,661.40 was wrongly described as posted to Ministry of Defence (Wages and Salaries Account), instead of the Ministry of Education (Wages and Salaries Account).

Yes, the Auditor General with his calibre of schooling should have known the difference between error of transposition and error of commission. Is he one of the fake scholars?

Sulemana Braimah his mischievous Fourth Estate were shouting as if they had a wild scandal to publish. Sulemana Braimah, you're becoming irrelevant day by day because you want to find fault with President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government when there is no fault. You and your Fourth Estate should apologize to and compensate the man, Kpodo, for defaming him before he sues you. Sulemana Braimah, this is the second time you have failed. First it was the Big Push, and then the claim that someone at the Ministry of Defence was receiving an outrageous salary, when you had not conducted any serious background checks. Shame on you. You're gradually losing it, and very soon no one will want to hear anything about Sulemana Braimah and his mischievous Fourth Estate.
