The workshop brought together assembly members, presiding members, metropolitan, municipal, and district chief executives (MMDCEs), coordinating directors, and other stakeholders in local governance. Mr Adjei reminded stakeholders that public funds belonged to the people and were entrusted to public officials for the delivery of services and development. He said public resources did not belong to MMDCEs, assembly members, coordinating directors, finance officers, or political parties, stressing that every cedi must be accounted for. He further urged assembly members not to allow political affiliation, personal relationships, or fear to prevent them from raising legitimate concerns about issues affecting their constituents. The NALAG President, consequently, called on Assembly Members and other local government stakeholders to strengthen their oversight responsibilities and ensure that public funds entrusted to MMDAs were converted into tangible development for the people.
