The Auditor General (AG) has uncovered a disturbing practice at the Judicial Service where various sums of money cannot be reconciled.
The AG said in its 2015 report that “the service consistently failed to obtain bank statements from HFC bank, as a result it was unable to reconcile revenue totaling GHc2,969,409.39 and deposits amounting to GHc2,846,435.82 and £75,000.00” collected on behalf of the service by HFC at various courts with bank statements.
Also, according to the report, the AG’s review of the service’s Internal Audit report revealed that unclaimed deposits totalling GHc209, 035.30 are being held by the former banks of the service.
The report further noted that physical inspection of Danida sponsored projects for the Service at Kasoa and Winneba disclosed that barely two years after construction, the building at Winneba had developed many cracks and almost all the locks on the doors are faulty, whilst the toilet facilities at the Kasoa District Court could not be used due to non-completion of the manhole.
“Total investment in the two projects amount to GHS1, 241,585.86,” it said.
At the Fiapre Circuit Court B in Sunyani in the Bono Ahafo region, the report mentioned that the accountant could not produce bank statements from Ghana Commercial Bank to “authenticate total revenue of GHc 193, 393.20 purportedly deposited with the bank.”
Again, at the Sunyani Commercial Court, the AG’s review of bank statements of the deposit account disclosed that eight standing order debits made by NIB between March and May 2015 amounting to GHC126, 821.00 were without the order of the court and an application from any litigant.

Yaw wo bo adwuma at the Auditor generals department. I didn't have hope and confidence in you, when you eere first appointed because nothing good cpmes from the ndc and they never appoint a patriotic son but party boy to do their bidding but you are an exception. You've proved most of us wrong, and you've showed your capabilities that you meant business. Keep it up for mother Ghana. Probably ndc didn't know you well,they didn't know you weren't part of the create,looot and share,they wouldn't have brought you there because you are too good and working too much and hard for mother Ghana something they hate.
This Mahama led administration in the last four years brought a lot of corruption,steeeeling and forgery in every state institution. People were not afraid to steel from the state coffees. Oh Mahama you left bad legacy.The corruption activities under your supervision was just too much.You never put any serious thing in place to curb this menace.Oh Mahama why u were soo weak as a president.People took advantage of your corrupt nature,theeeeevery,weakness and bad leadership style.I am just praying for the eyes of Ghanaians to open wide especially as the Special Prosecutor is about to commence it work.
