He said the expenditure which runs through year 2014, 2015 and 2016 was detected as the new government was interrogating the data on public finances.

Speaking at a forum in Accra, he said "Where have they been hiding all these years and how are you supposed to manage an economy with faulty data. Getting the data right is really very key because it throws the entire budget into disarray.

"Because you are going into 2017 and suddenly you are told that by the way there is Ghc7billion that you have to pay next year that you didn’t anticipate, this is the reality," he said.

Dr Bawumia added that "We've been less than a month in office, but we have taken some steps to accelerate the implementation of some measures that will ensure accountability, transparency and integrity in government."
