Financial Irregularities In Assemblies Part 2: Abura-Asebu Kwamankese Over utilised -Gh¢45,314.47 on Administrative Expenditure




 Financial Irregularities In Assemblies Part 2: Abura-Asebu Kwamankese Over utilised -Gh¢45,314.47 on Administrative Expenditure


The Gomoa West District is one of the seventeen (22) MMDAs in the Central Region of Ghana. Its capital is Apam.



According to the auditor general's 2019 report, it has been revealed that, the Assembly Has Over-Utilized DACF to ¢265,063.29


Part 1 of the 2019 guideline for the utilization of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) requires that up to 10 percent of the District Assembly Common Fun (DACF) should be allocated for administrative expenditure. 

 

We noted that management of Abura-Asebu Kwamankese District Assemblies received a total of GH¢2,197,488.10 as their share of the Common Fund with the permissible 10% to be spent on administrative  expenditure as GH¢219,748.82 but spent a total of GH¢265,063.29 representing  21% of the DACF inflows on administrative  expenditures such as workshops, fuel, honorarium, transfer grant etc. as detailed 

 

We attributed the cause of this infraction to inability of the management of the Assembly to raise sufficient Internally Generated Fund (IGF) to facilitate funding of such administrative expenditures.    



 This situation could result in reduction of funds earmarked for various programmes and projects thereby negatively impacting on the implementation of the intended programmes. 

 

 The auditor general therefore recommended to management of the Assembly to refund the excess expenditure of GH¢45,314.47 from the IGF account to the DACF account and desist from violating guidelines on the utilization of DACF.

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. Class sessions end abruptly whenever the clouds gather.  “Our roof is ripping off. 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...
