Popular Ghanaian stand-up comedian SDK Dele has expressed concerns about the limited due diligence conducted by major international organizations when providing funds to institutions in the country.

SDK Dele, who has recently been actively engaged in discussions on national issues, including participating in the recent #OccupyJulorBiHouse protests, expressed his concerns on Twitter. He questioned whether these organizations meticulously evaluate the individuals or groups to whom they entrust substantial sums of money.

He further inquired if these entities ever learn from past experiences of misappropriation of funds and a lack of accountability among recipients.

"Do these foreign institutions that frequently contribute funds to Ghana ever learn? Don't they thoroughly scrutinize the recipients before disbursing funds? You wake up and hand over more than $100 to someone, knowing well that these recipients may not utilize it appropriately," he posted.

SDK Dele's tweet has sparked a broader discussion about the supervision and responsibility associated with financial aid to Ghana and other similar nations. This discussion emerges at a time when there is increased scrutiny of government spending, donations, and aid provided to various foundations operating in the country.

These foreign institutions that always give money to Ghana don’t they learn,don’t they scrutinize the people they are giving the money to before they give it out ah.
You just wake up and give someone 100+ dollars while you know evidently that these people you are giving the money…
