The Government of Ghana has announced plans to establish special courts to expedite the handling of cases arising from audit infractions identified in the Auditor-General’s Report.
President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and the Auditor-General met at a high level on Monday, October 20, 2025, and came to this decision.
The main topic of discussion at the meeting was how to improve the implementation of the Auditor-General’s Report’s conclusions.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister for Government Communications and the President’s spokesperson, said in a statement that the special courts will be entrusted with deciding cases involving financial irregularities found during audits.
This entails implementing disallowances and fees as well as pursuing associated criminal charges.
According to Mr. Ofosu, the program is a component of the government’s larger plan to increase accountability, encourage openness, and discourage the misappropriation of public monies.
It also seeks to guarantee that money owing to the state is promptly recovered.
