Government paid US$1 million to two foreign companies for COVID-19 Tracker App – Sosu alleges
The Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu has alleged government awarded a US$1 million contract to two foreign companies for the infamous COVID-19 Tracker App.
The two companies according to the Madina lawmaker are iQuent Technology and Ascend Digital Solutions.
The allegation was contained in a write-up sighted by GhanaWeb, in which Sosu revealed that the contract was first awarded a month after the app was registered for use, a move he [Sosu] believes raises substantial corrupt practice.
He stressed that it remained unclear how an amount of US$7.4 million earmarked for community engagement and risk communication on the Coronavirus pandemic was also expended.
“Also, the US$1million Covid-19 tracker app awarded to two foreign companies, iQuent Technology and Ascend Digital Solutions a month after registration raises substantial corruption issues, as well as the US$240,000 spent on the launch of the tracker,†portions of the write read.
“It is also unclear how the US$7.4million earmarked for community engagement and risk communication was utilized,†it added.
