The five-member ad hoc committee set up by the Speaker of Parliament to probe into claims that foreign businesses were levied to sit near President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Ghana Expatriates Business Awards (GEBA) has finished its work.
The committee brought its work to an end on Thursday after meeting a representative of the Controller and Accountant General.
Prior to Thursday’s meeting, all the expatriate businesses invited to face the committee, in-camera, had failed to honour their respective invitations.
This forced the committee to suspend sitting indefinitely.
