Gh@60: Assemblies to receive GHC10K each

As part of Ghana’s 60th independence anniversary celebration, the government has released an amount of GHS 10,000 to each of the district, municipal, and metropolitan assemblies in the country to facilitate activities to commemorate the occasion.

Ghana turns 60 on Monday 6 March, 2017.

A statement released by the Controller and Accountant General, Seidu Kotomah, on Friday 2 March said: “The Controller and Accountant General wishes to inform all metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies that an amount of GHS 10,000.00 (ten thousand Ghana cedis) each has been transferred into the Sub Consolidated Fund (Sub CF) account of the assemblies.

This amount is to support the district assemblies to celebrate Ghana’s 60th Independence Anniversary.

“Management of the assemblies should note that this amount is part of the outstanding disbursement of the District Assemblies Common Fund.

In view of the above, the District Assemblies’ Common Fund administrator is being requested to deduct same amount from the outstanding payments of the Common Fund for each assembly before transferring the balance to them.”
