The Parliamentary Select Committee on Sanitation and Water Resources has criticized the current 10% allocation from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) for sanitation efforts. While acknowledging the progress made in the Volta and Oti regions, the Committee believes the funding is insufficient to address the country's sanitation issues.
They praised several assemblies for their work in institutional toilets, boreholes, drainage works, and desilting projects. However, they also raised concerns about the presentation from Nkwanta North District Assembly and called for further engagement to clarify any issues. The Committee emphasized that public funds must be used for their intended purposes and not for personal gain.
