A/R Collateralization Of Common Fund Renderd MMDAs Bankrupt,..Asiedu Nketiah
Mr. Asiedu Nketiah, national chairman of the National Democratic Congress, has revealed that the District Assemblies Common Fund, which was supposed to empower Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies in the development agenda, has bankrupted them.
He claims that since the fund was collateralized, Assemblies have found it difficult to initiate new projects or complete existing ones.
It has gotten to a moment where the Assemblies must to rely on loans before they can operationalize special duties.
Various assemblies are underdeveloped due to a lack of financial constraint as result of common fund collateralization.
He also stated that the NPP government does not prioritize the development of rural communities but always benefits from their votes.
He was speaking at a community durbar in Anyinofi, Sekyere Afram Plains constituency, during his fourth day of campaigning in the Ashanti region.
The Parliamentary candidate for National Democratic Congress NDC In Sekyere Afram Plains, Hajia Afrah Nasira, urged the people in the constituency to vote massively for John Dramani Mahama for development project in the district
