The La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA) has successfully raised GH₵25,874,725 in Internally Generated Funds (IGF) for 2025, surpassing its projected amount of GH₵21,824,300. However, the assembly only received GH₵14,027,347 from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), falling short of the expected GH₵27,807,235. LaDMA's MCE, Mr Alfredos Nii Anyetei, revealed these figures at a town hall meeting to discuss the assembly's performance for 2025 and the evaluation of its 2022-2025 Medium-Term Development Plan.
Anyetei emphasized that the assembly would increasingly focus on locally generated revenue to reduce dependence on external sources. The measures include optimizing property rate collection, constructing a revenue mobilisation office, and procuring a bus for revenue support. The assembly's implementation of its development plan has progressed significantly, from 27% in 2022 to 97% in 2025.
Its performance in social services and infrastructure also improved, reaching 98.5% and 96%, respectively. In 2025, LaDMA achieved 81% of its revenue target, raising GH₵44,486,801 out of the projected GH₵54,634,028.
