Assin South District Assembly: Early defects of a completed project - GH¢169,647.00

According to the auditor general's 2018 report, it has been revealed that, the District has made Early defects of a completed project - GH¢169,647.00.

Regulation 39 of Financial Administration Regulations, 2004 (L.I.1802) directs a head of department to ensure that moneys are utilized in a manner
that secures both optimum value for money and the intention of parliament’’.

We noted that management of Assin South District Assembly awarded
a contract for the construction of 1 No.3-unit classroom block and Ancillary facilities at Kotobabi to New Ideas Construction Trading Enterprise at a contract sum of GH¢169,467.00 to be completed on 02/02/17.

Our audit however revealed that the wood used for the roofing and
ceiling at Headmaster’s office had started to rot because they were not treated with chemicals to prevent pests from destroying them. Again, the Contractor failed to complete the aprons and drainage in front of the classrooms. We also observed leakages in some of the classrooms.

We attributed this to lack of proper supervision by the Project Manager,
Mr. Adu Kwakye, to ensure that quality materials were used for the project.

As a result, the Assembly had not obtained value for money in the execution of the project and would incur additional cost to correct the defects.

Following this misappropriation, the auditor general has therefore recommended to management to compel the contractor to correct
the defects, failing which the Project Manager, the Coordinating Director and
the Finance Officer should be jointly held liable for any additional cost that would be incurred in correcting the defects.

Stay tuned and watch out for your Assembly.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.
