This was revealed during the Committee’s Zonal Public Hearing at Ada.
At the center of the controversy is Ghc35.8 million claim submitted by the police for deployment services during the Games.
According to officials of the sector, the claim was challenged because required documentation, including deployment registers and other verification records, was not provided.
