The Bawku West District Assembly has spent more than 39 thousand Ghana-Cedis on food and other grocery items. The amount spent on the items was not budgeted for. The situation, according to the Auditor-General is a breach of Section 30 of the PFMR 2016 (Act 921).
The District Assembly paid Jezfarms Enterprise a total of 23,150 GHC as payment for food for Christmas and New Year festivities for 2020 while 16,400 GHC was paid to Anelytie Enterprise as payment for the supply of sugar, rice and oil for Muslims.
Auditor-General Johnson Akuamoah Aseidu said the situation is worrying as it could negatively affect projects budgeted for. These were contained in the Auditor–General’s Report on the Management and Utilisation of the District Assemblies Common Fund (Dacf) and Other Statutory Funds for the Year Ended 31 December 2020.
