Jail officials who exceed expenditure 15 years - Ofori Boafo Email thisShare This
Print ThisComments (4)« PrevNext »

The Member of Parliament for the Akropong Constituency William Ofori Boafo has called for a 15 year jail term for people who exceeded expenditure approved by parliament.

According to him, it will serve as a deterrent because “if you do not impose severe punishments then you will not achieve the deterrent objective.”

The 2013 Appropriation bill which gives a final authority to government in relation to how much government can spend within the 2013 fiscal year, was passed in parliament on Wednesday to a tune of GHC31,845,664,819.

Speaking on Citi FM’s Eye Witness news program, William Ofori Boafo stated “...any person who makes delay payments in excess of the limits provided by the Appropriation Act commits an offence.”

According to him, the punishment would be upon conviction of not less than 15000 penalty units or an alternative of 15 years, or not more than 25 years jail term.

He explained that, under clause 3 of the Appropriation Bill, the Controller and Accountant General is prohibited from making payments out in excess of the appropriated amount for the year 2013.

He added that due to the vacuum in the Act, he thought it was relevant to correct that vacuum by seeking a legislative instrument so that in an attempt to exceed the limit, the people involved are punished.

He noted that the main reason why it is being opposed by the Majority in Parliament is because if it is provided under the Appropriation Bill “there will be frequency of repeals.”

He questioned, if there is the frequency of coming back yearly with the Appropriation Bills, why can’t there be “the frequency of sanctions to ensure that the provisions of the Bill are respected to the latter.”

Meanwhile, the Former MP of Wenchi West and General Secretary for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has stated that the Appropriation Bill might not be a good place to place such punishments.

“Over expenditure is not good for the health of any economy because it means that you are spending more than you can generate,” he said.

He also expressed joy that “parliament had finally agreed to do something about their oversight responsibilities.”

According to him, we are still a developing democracy and the issues of accountability are always developing.

“As we develop, we have now come to a point where sittings of Public Accounts Committee and all other accountability committees in parliament are held before the media” he said.

He proposed that government should find a way of checking over spending when people are still in power.

Comment to: Italy pledges support for Ghana’s ICT sector

ICT is what we need to meet the ever backlogs we have in our institutions.Government needs to decentralise activities in order to boost development. I wonder why such lots of constituencies are created except for political reasons/elections rather than development agenda.

This is a good medium for us to share and contribute to the nation. Instead, some people use it for different purposes. Can you contribute to my comment made on 28-03-2013?''Two heads are better than one''.

Sad to helplessly watch Ghana's fortunes slip through the hands of intellectual, who could have evaluated, analyse, and communicated critical developmental issues on such platforms, sadly chose to play the opposite card, all in the name of politics tilled not towards ideological merit but pure foolishness, selfishness and mediocrity.

I have contributed my 2 pence, towards the article on Italian ICT support proposal for Ghana, as advised .

Nii Lartey Nartey: What a shame, you
should be thinking of how to REDEEM your Ga tribe from selling your birth rights, properties,etc. to your looting, jungle NPP folks. No wonder your folks have sold out all Accra to the jungle triblists for balls of kenkey. Your LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IS NOW EXTINCT, OVERRUN BY YOUR MATEMEHU MONKRYD -- THE "AKANFOA"

Stupidly, you are now blaming Mahama, a president just a FEW MONTHS IN OFFICE. YAKAGBOMO!

It is unfortunate that destroyers and criminals are in charge of our affairs. They have looted the coffers of the nation. When is Ghana going to have a president like Dr. Kwame Nkruma.
