Who should control local development funds?
@ConstReformsGh believes District Assemblies should be responsible for local development, while MPs concentrate on their core roles of making laws and holding Government accountable.
For CPCR, keeping these responsibilities separate strengthens accountability and protects the integrity of public spending.
