They should be picked immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are invited to appear before a committee of Parliament and you refuse to attend, knowing very well that you have squandered over GH\u00a2160,000. You think that we will leave you to go scot free. Minister, kindly do that and get us the feedback,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers were also concerned about debts owed to the National Sports Authority by some companies which the Northern Regional NSA Accountant wrote off without permission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe National Sports Authority, there is a lot of rot over there. Vodafone Ghana owes you GH\u00a218,000; CCMI owes you GH\u00a22,250 and you (referring to the Director General) sat down for this regional head to write it off without permission,\u201d one of the MPs asserted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encounter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MP: \u201cDid you get a copy of this audit report?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DG: \u00a0Mr. Chairman, yes.<\/p>\n<p>MP: Did you read the report?<\/p>\n<p>DG: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>MP: And did you get understanding of the recommendations?<\/p>\n<p>DG: Mr. Chairman, we asked the Regional Director to comply with the recommendations \u2013 that is, to reinstate the debts as they are and make efforts to recover the money. And this was done. Letters have been issued for the demand of the debt.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Ernest Kofi Adu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Klutse Avedzi \u00a0 The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has ordered the immediate arrest of the Northern Regional Director and Accountant of the National Sports Authority (NSA).
