The Member of Parliament (MP) for Asutifi South Constituency in the Ahafo Region, Alhaji Collins Dauda, says assemblies have no excuse not to improve development under the regime of President John Dramani Mahama.
Addressing assembly members, staff of the Asutifi South District, and other opinion leaders in a meeting at Hwidiem, he explained that under the previous government, the assemblies were not receiving their mandated monies to embark on their developmental projects.
The current government has since cancelled that arrangement to guarantee that assemblies now receive their rightful share of resources.
With this decision, the assemblies now fully receive their mandated funds. Therefore, the assemblies, especially those in his region (Ahafo), can’t afford not to improve development for the people, as development was inadequate under the previous government.
He said that the assemblies, which will allow people from Accra to influence their developmental decision-making for residents, would result in the dismissal of their municipal district chief executives; therefore, all must take note.
He continued by revealing that during the 8 years of the Nana Addo-led government, he wasn’t invited to general assembly meetings, which he found unusual and never helped the assembly.
He mentioned that people, especially from the camp of the New Patriotic Party, accused him of his absence, but to be sincere, as a seasoned politician, he will never attend meetings without invitations.
