That in two budget cycles embattled Speaker Koffa was able to swindle $9.7 million instead of the allotted amount $2.6 million for his office for the period under review.
This is from a Press Release issued by the majority members of the House of Representatives as published by the FrontPage Africa newspaper….. What is your take?
A detailed review of the 2022 and 2023 budget outturn reveals that Speaker Koffa, during his tenure as Deputy Speaker, manipulated the budget to divert millions of dollars to his office.
In 2022, while the Legislature approved $1.5 million for his office, Koffa received $5.6 million in cash by the end of that fiscal year.
Similarly, in 2023, his office was allotted $1.1 million, yet he received and collected $4.1 million in cash again for himself.
Over the course of these two fiscal years, his office was allotted $2.6 million, but he pocketed a total of $9.7 million, an excess of over $7 million that was not legitimately allocated to him but yet to be accounted for by the Speaker.
Let us know what you think…
