These individuals need to account for ebola funds in Sierra Leone

Here are a list of individuals who received unusually large amounts of ebola funds for which there are no supporting documents, receipts, or expenditure reports as mentioned in the Auditor General’s Ebola Funds Audit. These individuals should assist the AG and the rest of the general public with the documents of how they spent the ebola funds in the interest of public good, transparency and accountability. Other individuals not listed here but mentioned in the report should also assist all of us by providing the necessary documentation of how the monies they recieved were spent.
