GACC Calls for Transparency and Accountability into COVID-19 National Trust Fund and Donations

The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) commends government on the bold steps taken to
fight the spread of the corona virus in Ghana.

The Coalition also commends private companies,
individuals, religious organizations and civil society organizations that have donated to the COVID-19 pool fund and/or are implementing interventions to help their communities cope with
the effects of this pandemic.

The Coalition would like to remind government and all persons who deal with, or on behalf of
government in expending COVID-19 funds to ensure that transparency and accountability to the people prevail.

GACC is urging the government and all persons in charge of procuring goods and services to be
guided by value for money considerations, and strictly abide by the emergency public procurement
laws.

GACC and like-minded CSOs will lead the charge of citizens to demand accountability from the
people we have entrusted with our COVID-19 funds and resources.

Meanwhile, GACC would like to express our sincerest appreciation to the men and women
working on the front lines to return our lives to normalcy.

The Coalition further commends
Government for introducing social intervention measures to blunt the effect of the ban on public
engagements on commerce, and thus the livelihood of Ghanaians, particularly the most vulnerable in our society.

Finally, GACC encourages all residents of our dear country to abide by the safety and hygiene protocols, and restrictions on movements, as instructed by the President, H. E Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo.

Long live Ghana!!
