The Judgement Debt Commissioner on Monday resumed sitting after going on break following its first and only sitting before the country's general election.

Ms. Amma Gaisie, the Solicitor General who appeared before the Commissioner and said initially the Attorney General’s Department had a problem understanding the request by the Commission to furnish it with details of civil cases in its custody.

The Solicitor General said she had been out of the country for a while and had a problem locating files for the settlement of claims.

The only document tendered to the Commissioner by Ms. Gaizie, was a table of judgement debts from 2009, and pleaded for time to submit more details.

The Deputy Auditor General, Yaw Sefa, who represented the Auditor General presented its reports from 1993 to 1999, and then from 2002 to 2005 and pleaded for time to find and present reports from 1992.

Sittings continue tomorrow.

The Commissioner, headed by Justice Yaw Appau, was established by Constitutional Instrument 79 of 2012, and has a period of one year to submit its report to the Presidency.

It would ascertain the causes of any inordinate payment made from public funds in satisfaction of judgement debts, since the 1992 Constitution was established.

The Commissioner would also make recommendations, to help ensure that government does not incur undue financial losses, when it does business with private persons or institutions.
