Financial Irregularities In Assemblies: Part Four

Assin North District Assembly Wasted ¢13,400.00 Over Failure To Fully Execute Works


Regulation 39 of the financial administration regulation 2004 ( LI 1802), requires that a head of department shall ensure that money are utilized in a manner that secures both optimum value for money and the intention of Parliament.

Contrary to the above regulation, the Assin North District Assembly awarded contract to MESSRS JESUS IS ALL ENT and ALBEJO CO.LTD, on 13th November 2018 for the constructions of three (3) bedroom bungalow for the District coordinating director and renovation of Health office block at the contract sum of ¢431,949.52.

We however noted that, the work was not fully executed to agreed specifications, plans and drawings as contained in the bill of quantities as detailed below.


*Contractor*

• MESSRS JESUS IS ALL ENT.

*Contract*

• 3 Bedroom bungalow for the District coordinating director Assin Bereku.

*Bill Of Quantities Not Done*

• provision of site office--¢1,500.00.
• Maintenance of site office--¢1,200.00
• Removal of site office--¢1,300.00.
• Watching and protecting the works--¢1,800.00.
• Provision of temporal store--¢500.00.
• Provision of project sign post--¢1,000.00.


*2nd Contractor*

• ALBEJO GHANA LTD.

*Contract*

• Removal of site office--¢1,00.00.
• Provision of temporal store--¢500.00
• Provision of project sign post--¢1,200.00.


This was attributed to wrongful certification of work done by the District works engineer and lack of due diligence on the part of the monitoring team in reporting project executed to management, leading to payment of No work done of ¢13,400.00.

We recommend recovery of the amount of ¢13,400.00 from the contractors, failure of which the works engineer, the coordinating director and the project manager should be held liable to pay for the amount involved.


Stay tuned and watch out for your Assembly

  C/R: Assin Oboba Kokorowa Pupils Are Forced To Study In Dilapidated And Death Trap Building The fate of over 500 pupils at the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School in the Assin North District of the Central Region hangs in the balance as they learn under dilapidated structures. The the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School has not seen any major rehabilitation since its establishment in 1970s. Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances. Parts of the aluminum roofing sheets are rusting away, while their remains hang loosely on the tiny erected concrete pillars.

And when it rains, it leaks into our classroom, so we have to end classes.  “When it leaks, our books get wet and we are not able...

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah Member of Parliament of Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong is of the view that Albert Kan Dapaah should not be crucified over the amorous video with a lady identified as Chantelle Kujawu but is wondering how the National Security minister could fall for a lady with long and scary finger nails. The legislator making a submission on Oman FM indicated that he is “not clean”, neither is any man, hence will be unfair and hypocritical to castigate his fellow man for engaging in such an act. “Let the clean cast the stone,” he said but hilariously questioned why Mr. Kan Dapaah could not fall for something better. “I looked at the lady’s finger nails and wondered ‘what could National Security minister be doing with such finger nails?’” Like Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram Samuel Nartey George and satirist Kwame A Plus, Mr. Agyapong suggested that the incident was orchestr...
