Ghana’s Parliamentary Select Committee on Local Government and Rural Development has issued a stern warning to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) and coordinating directors. The committee cautioned against the improper use of funds specifically designated for Persons with Disability (PWDs). This directive comes amid concerns regarding potential misappropriation of resources intended to support vulnerable populations. Officials found guilty of misusing these funds will be subject to unspecified sanctions, the committee stated. The warning underscores the importance of accountability and transparency in the allocation and utilization of public funds. This action aims to ensure that PWDs receive the support they are legally entitled to. The committee’s intervention signals increased scrutiny of local government financial practices.
