The Akatsi South Municipal Assembly in Ghana has suspended Felix Sagah, its Acting Director of Social Welfare, due to accusations of delayed payments related to the LEAP (Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty) program. The suspension follows complaints regarding unpaid allowances for focal persons involved in administering the LEAP initiative. These focal persons provide crucial support to beneficiaries of the poverty alleviation program. The assembly has not specified the duration of the suspension or details of the investigation. LEAP provides cash transfers to vulnerable households in Ghana. The move signals the assembly’s commitment to accountability and ensuring the effective implementation of social welfare programs. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
