State Housing Company MD credits new management with low infractions report

The Managing Director of the State Housing Company, Kwabena Ampofo Appiah says the company under his leadership has strived to implement and enforce controls leading to a prevention of infractions contrary to what is usually captured in the Auditor General’s Report.

Kwabena Ampofo Appiah led a team from the Company to answer questions before Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee.

The Committee commended the company for reducing infractions and irregularities as reported in the 2021 report of the Auditor General.

Speaking in an interview after the sitting, Kwabena Ampofo Appiah explained that the company under his leadership has put in place stringent management controls to prevent the occurrence of such irregularities and infractions.

“The change in leadership has brought in a new sense of wanting to build the company and the staff are helping us to get these things right. The two issues we dealt with are from 2016 and even some earlier than that and thankfully we have been able to resolve all that. We are hoping that as the years go by, the company will improve and the infractions will get smaller and smaller”, the MD said.

The Public Accounts Committee has been holding public hearings on the 2021 Report of the Auditor General which has brought to the fore significant infractions and irregularities in the operations of many state-owned institutions.

The committee will present its report, including recommendations to Parliament.
