  "summary": "Ranking Member of Parliament’s Committee on Local Government and Decentralisation, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has called for greater accountability, transparency, and financial discipline in the management of public resources by Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs). In his opening remarks at the Committee’s public hearings on the Annual Statements of Audit Committees of Assemblies, Asenso-Boakye emphasized that Parliament’s oversight responsibility is aimed at ensuring that public funds allocated to MMDAs translate into meaningful improvements in the lives of citizens. He urged MMDAs to address recurring audit irregularities and stressed that the Committee’s work should go beyond assigning blame, providing practical recommendations to strengthen financial management and prevent recurring lapses.",
