Speaking as health authorities marked the beginning of the final 42-day monitoring period toward achieving Ebola-free status, the Cabinet Secretary assured the public that all financial support and material resources mobilized from international and local partners will be fully accounted for.
"There will be no 'Ebola millionaires'; after 42 days, we will publish the support we got from our partners and how the money was spent, and I will table it before Parliament," Duale stated.
The firm stance comes in the wake of heightened surveillance and successful patient recoveries, with the Ministry of Health seeking to reassure taxpayers and international partners that emergency funds are managed with absolute transparency and adherence to financial integrity.
Political analysts and governance watchdogs have lauded the preemptive accountability measure, noting that past health crises in the country have occasionally been marred by procurement irregularities and unaccounted emergency expenditures.
By committing to table a detailed audit report before the National Assembly once the monitoring window concludes, the Ministry aims to preempt fraudulent inflation of tenders and safeguard public resources against misappropriation.
As the country navigates the final stretch of the health containment protocol, Duale’s declaration underscores an aggressive push within the executive to institutionalize transparency and restore public trust in emergency resource management.
