Government to set up special courts to handle audit infractions and recover state funds

The President has held a crucial meeting with the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and the Auditor-General to discuss ways of strengthening the enforcement of findings contained in the Auditor-General’s Report.

In a statement issued on Monday, October 20, 2025, the Minister for Government Communications and Presidential Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, said the meeting focused on practical steps to ensure greater accountability and compliance with audit recommendations.

It was agreed that special courts will be designated to handle cases arising from audit infractions highlighted in the Auditor-General’s Report. These will include the enforcement of surcharges and disallowances, as well as the prosecution of related criminal offences.

The initiative forms part of the government’s broader strategy to enhance accountability, deter misuse of public funds, and ensure prompt recovery of monies owed to the State.

The meeting underscores the administration’s renewed commitment to upholding fiscal discipline and ensuring that findings in the Auditor-General’s reports lead to concrete actions and sanctions where necessary.
