The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has directed Richard Okyere-Fosu, the Director-General of the National Information Technology Agency (NITA), to return at a later date with more comprehensive documentation.
This directive comes after the committee found Mr Okyere-Fosu's responses to the Auditor General’s observations about a $16 million service contract between the Communications Ministry and Smart Infraco Limited to be unsatisfactory.
During the session chaired by James Klutse Avedzi, the PAC instructed Mr. Okyere-Fosu to provide detailed documentation, including letters, proposals, value-for-money reports, contracts, and invoices related to the Smart Infraco Limited deal.
Mr Avedzi indicated that a specific date will be set for the Director-General to submit the required documents and responses.
“I want a copy of the letter from the Ministry of Communication requesting SMART Infraco Limited to submit a proposal for the provision of this service. I need a copy of that letter from the Ministry of Communication. I also need the proposal submitted by SMART Infraco Limited, for the SMART Workplace Project."
“You wrote a letter to them, and they responded. They are in terms of a quota. I need a copy of their value-for-money reports on the SMART Workplace Project.”
“I also need copies or requests for quotations or proposals submitted by SMART Infraco to the following service provider contractors.
"Copies of evaluation and assessment reports of the SIL, then copies of both notification of award and acceptance letter. I also need a list of all MMBAs which have received support under the SMART Workplace Project.”
