The Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) says the government squandered GHC3million of Ghana’s oil revenue to organise capacity-building workshops for the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA)
The Committee’s Technical Manager, Mark Agyemang, further revealed that over 91% of the country’s total oil revenue had already been utilised.
Speaking in an interview on Starr FM’s Morning Starr, Agyemang said:
We did build the capacity of MUSIGA and it was GHC3million
The general capacity building like a subsidy for exams fee for students, provision of school uniforms, textbooks, provision of chalks were also capacity building just that some of the money found its way into areas that were not into the capacity building like MASLOC, MUSIGA, Exim Bank and all those areas, you’ll not see their core capacity-building initiative
It’s important for Ghanaians to know that we’ve realized $6.523bn oil money and 91% of it has been utilized
he sad
However, was the money wasted since most Ghanaian musicians are always complaining about the poor performance of MUSIGA.
