Sierra Leone’s anti-graft agency says it is  investigating officials of the national Covid19 response team.

It said in a statement that three officials of the team were found guilty of procurement fraud and told to refund the amount they mismanaged or diverted for personal gains.

The Anti-corruption Commission undertook an investigation into how funds approved for the fight against Covid19 were used after the auditor general of the country published a report recently, alleging mismanagement of allocated funds.

Moris Ibrahim Conteh is a spokesman for the Anti-corruption Commission of Sierra Leone.
