The Office of the Assembly Member for Wasa Nananko in Ghana has noted with concern the ongoing construction of a 2-Unit Kindergarten Block at Wasa Akropong A by the Wasa Amenfi East Municipal Assembly without any budgetary approval.
I wish to state the following:
1. Budgetary Compliance: The approved 2026 Municipal Composite Budget Statement for Wasa Amenfi East Municipal Assembly makes no provision for the construction of a 2-Unit KG Block at Wasa Akropong A.
The only approved KG Blocks are located at Wasa Afransie and Subri Nkotie, and the only approved JHS Block is at Wasa Adondoi.
2. Financial Regulations: Per Section 98 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921) and Section 16 of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), all expenditures must be captured in the approved budget and duly authorized by the General Assembly.
3. Call for Accountability: I demand that the Wasa Amenfi East Municipal Assembly immediately:
– Halt all works on the unapproved project,
– Provide Nananom, Assembly Members, and the public with the source of funding and approval documentation,
– Refer the matter to the Finance & Administration Sub-Committee for review.
I support educational infrastructure in Nananko. However, due process, transparency, and accountability must guide all developments. Projects outside the 2026 Budget undermine public trust and proper planning.
I call on the Municipal Coordinating Director, the Municipal Chief Executive, and the Regional Coordinating Council to investigate this breach and ensure compliance with the 2026 Budget Statement presented to the General Assembly and approved on 30th October 2025.
For further clarification, contact the undersigned.
