President John Dramani Mahama has taken a decisive step towards ensuring accountability in the management of the 13th All-Africa Games by directing the Auditor-General to conduct a comprehensive forensic audit of all financial and operational aspects surrounding the event.
The order follows the submission of a report by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) on the organization and management of the Games. According to the President, the audit should cover several key areas, including procurement and contracting processes, financial management and expenditure control, infrastructure and project delivery, asset management and post-Games utilization, as well as institutional oversight and coordination.
Specifically, the review will scrutinize how contractors and suppliers were selected, compliance with the Public Procurement Act (Act 663), all funding sources and expenditures, the delivery and value-for-money of facilities developed, and the current status of assets acquired for the Games. The effectiveness of the various oversight agencies and committees involved will also be evaluated.
President Mahama has instructed the Auditor-General to submit the audit report by the second week of December 2025. This directive, he emphasized, is part of his government’s ongoing commitment to accountability, transparency, and ensuring that public resources are managed prudently for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
