Rockson Bukari (left) and Dr Steve Manteaw – Chairman of PIACOutgoing Upper East Regional Minister, Rockson Ayine Bukari, wants the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) to fairly monitor the implementation of projects funded with Ghana’s oil revenue. Mr Bukari was speaking at a meeting with members of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee at his office in Bolgatanga. Unfortunately, some of the projects captured as having been fully or partially funded with the oil revenue could not be traced, while others have not been completed. Chairman of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) Dr Steve Manteaw, said the committee is a statutory establishment by law and would not renege on its mandate, saying PIAC would work to the expectation of the public without fear or favour. PIAC has educated people at Fumbisi in the Builsa South District and Sandema in the Builsa North District on how Ghana’s oil money has been used over the years.
