NPA Audit Report: We found out that when gaps exist, people take advantage of those gaps
- Mary Addah #JoySMS
"The people of Ghana, when we have concerns about value for money, they're not just concerns, we believe that money that comes into the system supports national growth and development". - Mrs Mary Awelana Addah, Executive Director of Transparency International Ghana
“We have a lot of systems in place. Even if the licensing of the trucks has delayed or the intervention has existed, it does not mean that automatically all products that are being carried are adulterated.” - Setsoafia K. Agbenoto, Director of Quality Assurance at NPA
“What the NPA stands for is that we stand for accountability and, sure, there may be scrutiny along the way, but for the finding of the auditor, we need to put it into context.” - Setsoafia K. Agbenoto, Director of Quality Assurance at NPA
“When it comes to the tracking, the report finds that, at the time of the audit, about half of the fleet moving products across the country were not holding valid licences.” - Kodzo Yaotse, Policy Lead, Africa Centre for Energy Policy
According to the Auditor-General, the downstream petroleum sector generated an average annual value of approximately GH¢35 billion over the past 7 years. In 2023, the industry recorded a monetary value of over GH¢71 billion, representing approximately 84% of the country’s GDP.
However, it is estimated that between 2015 and 2019, the Government of Ghana lost approximately GH¢4.7 billion in tax revenue due to illegal activities within the petroleum sector.
48,678 tanker trips out of approximately one million were not tracked, according to the Auditor-General’s report. The audit also detected 582 fuel diversion incidents involving 9.78 million litres in 2024 and 2025. #CorruptionWatch

Corruption Watch: The concept of the access to information is to make information readily available
- Zakaria Tanko Musah #JoySMS
"The law does not make any specific provision for fee waivers for journalists, but it does provide for waivers where the information being requested is in the public interest."
– Zakaria Tanko Musah, Lawyer
"Because of the role the RTI Act plays in corruption and accountability, the idea is not to make access difficult but easy. If fees are used to deter people from requesting information, then the purpose of the RTI Act is defeated."
– Zakaria Tanko Musah, Lecturer/Lawyer
"Generally, if you take the principle of conflict of laws, any law that is specific to an issue will override one that is general. The law that deals specifically with access to information is the RTI Act."
– Zakaria Tanko Musah, Lecturer/Lawyer
