Alfred Asiedu Adjei, President of the National Association of Local Government Associations of Ghana (NALAG), has urged Assembly Members to closely monitor public funds allocated to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to ensure they translate into meaningful development. Adjei emphasized the importance of accountability, stating that "where funds go, accountability must follow."
At a workshop in Kumasi, he called on Assembly Members to actively engage in their assembly's finances and development activities, rather than merely attending meetings and approving documents. The President emphasized the need to scrutinize financial documents, understand project allocations, and raise questions when resources appear not to be achieving their intended purposes.
Adjei stressed that public funds belong to the people and are entrusted to public officials for the delivery of services and development, urging Assembly Members to prioritize the needs of their constituents and the national interest above partisan considerations.
