Ho (Volta Region)- Dr Kwaku Osafo, Programme Manager of the Micro Projects Management Unit of the European Union (EU) on Thursday warned that any District Assembly in the Volta Region, which would fail to perform under the Phase Two Projects would not be considered for the sixth programme.
Dr Osafo advised District Chief Executives of the region to work according to the guidelines of the programme. Addressing a one-day workshop on information campaign towards the implementation of Phase Two of the fifth Micro-Projects Programme in the Volta Region, he said the people in the rural areas were walloping in poverty, wretchedness and deprivation.
The workshop was organised for District Chief Executives, District Coordinating Directors, District Finance Officers and Micro-Projects District Coordinators from the southern districts of the region.
Dr Osafo expressed regret that audit reports of projects in the Volta Region were worst off, saying, irregularities were found in 22 audit findings on projects carried out last year. He said this year, 120 projects, the highest throughout the country, would be undertaken in the Volta Region and that 10 billion cedis had been budgeted for the projects.
