According to the Head of Communications at the Energy Ministry, Nana Damoah ,the claims that almost GHS20 million out of the Public Lighting Levy collected between 2018 and 2019 has gone missing is false.
The Head of Communications at the Energy Ministry, Nana Damoah on Citi Fm rejected those claims,
“That is not true, no money is missing whatsoever. What is being reported as missing is the difference between the monies received by the Ministry and monies utilized. So the difference between what was received and what was utilised is about GHS18 million.”
“Bear in mind the fact that we are accounting for what was spent in 2018 and 2019 so if the money was received quite close to the end of 2019, it will be rolled over to 2020 which is why the GHS18 million has come into question. It was received quite late, so it is not factual to say GHS18 million or so is missing,”he added.
