Gov’t transfers GH¢9.1bn DACF to MMDAs under Mahama — Mahama Ayariga

The Government of Ghana has transferred a total of GH¢9.1 billion from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) since taking office, according to Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister Mahama Ayariga. Speaking at the Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House, Mr Ayariga highlighted that these funds represent six quarters of DACF allocations and signify the government's commitment to decentralisation and empowering local authorities.

Ayariga emphasized that this increased funding aligns with the principle of "Funds Follow Functions," ensuring that local authorities have the necessary resources to deliver essential services and improve socio-economic infrastructure, thereby enhancing living conditions for the Ghanaian people.
