Prophet Kofi Oduro, founder and leader of the Alabaster International Ministry, says he is not happy with the government's misappropriation of COVID-19 funds.
“When I look at the wealth that has been looted out of COVID in the continent of Africa, it is sad,” he claimed
The outspoken preacher, however, accused government officials of enriching themselves from the public purse at the expense of the ordinary Ghanaian.
“We had $1 billion coming into this country and we cannot find where that money even went to. 200 million was blown away in three weeks and we said that we used it in sharing food. Wow!!!!,” he lamented whiles addressing social issues in a video on social media
COVID-19 funds have become topical in recent months, with the Minority in Parliament pushing for a bipartisan probe into government expenditure since the pandemic arrived in March 2020.
Pro-government voices insist that such expenditure have been catered for in the budget whiles the opposition insist that there are unaccounted for monies.
The government, aside from internally generated funds dedicated to fighting the pandemic, also benefited from support from bilateral and multilateral partners in the fight against the pandemic.
Meanwhile, the government insists that a major part of the economic downturn the country is experiencing is because of the impact of COVID-19.
President Akufo-Addo has assured, however, that the economy will bounce back sooner rather than later.

Show us the ***barred word*** evidence and we shall go after whoever. You can’t be slandering people on hearsay evidence. Stick to your pastoring.
THEY MAKE PRONOUNCEMENTS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. IGNORANCE AT ITS PICK. GOD SAVE US FROM FAKE PASTORS
Pastor I like you and your preaching but careful when making statement about the government. When ask to provide evidence I hope you would be found wanting. The $i billion earmarked by the IMF was not for sharing food. I believe when ask to come and substantiate your pronouncements, people will say the government pursuing the men in the pulpit. If you want to politics then take cassock.
Is this so called NDC prophet a member of the coved-19 board overseeing the coved funds? How on earth would someone come out with such a wild accusation without any documentation’s proof! You use your pulpit and influence to spew out falsehood to make the government unpopular because it is not your party that is in power. Is that what God has commissioned you to do? Mr Prophet, make sure you speak what you hear God saying, not what people are speculating or your own assumption.
People make wild allegations and when they are put to strict proof, we are told government is preventing them from talking. Hmmm!
