Out of this amount, $68,000 has been paid leaving a balance of $456, 263 to be paid. In the end, Ghana failed in its bid to host the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Auditor General\u2019s Report, RICS Consult belonging to Mr Rex Danquah was sole-sourced for the preparation of the document without prior approval from the Public Procurement Authority.<\/p>\n<p>The Auditor General\u2019s report also says the Ministry could not provide them with the contract documents awarding RICS Consult Limited the consulting services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have inaugurated our audit committee and tasked them to look into these matters, so they report to the minister when I appear in front of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, I will know what to say,\u201d Asiamah said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, I have asked the audit team to get me all those capped in the financial indiscipline and financial malfeasance so that action is taken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is the position of the auditor general\u2019s report.
