I have never hesitated to commend Ghana’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for its renewed energy and seriousness in enforcing accountability. In a previous article, I praised the committee for its firm handling of public hearings, its exposure of financial infractions, and its courage to question even the most powerful institutions. The PAC has indeed been one of the few bodies standing between Ghana and the abyss of institutional impunity. The developments demand reflection, not because the PAC’s mission has changed, but because its methods, at times, risk undermining its moral authority.
