The Local Government Committee of Parliament has stressed the need for the early release of funds by the Ministry of Finance to facilitate the completion of District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) infrastructure projects in the six newly created regions.
The committee said efforts to complete DACF-funded projects in the new regions would continue to lag behind if the Ministry of Finance failed to release the funds on time.

The government has committed resources to physical projects in three regions to provide the infrastructural foundation for the administration of the areas.
The Western North, Bono East and Ahafo regions are currently benefiting from the construction of new administration blocks to provide conducive office spaces for the various regional coordinating councils (RCCs), and the education, health and agriculture directorates in the three regional capitals.
The projects - which also include the construction of court buildings, structures that will serve as police commands, and staff bungalows for various categories of public sector workers- are being funded by the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF).
A five-member Parliamentary Select Committee on Local Government and Rural Development has inspected the construction of Courts Complex and Residential accommodation for the Judiciary at Kadjebi being funded from the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF).
Mr Emmanuel Kwesi Gyamfi, Chairman of the Committee, speaking at the projects sites, said as part of their mandate and oversight responsibility, they were in the District to verify and inspect the progress of projects being funded by the DACF.
“This the Committee believes would equip it with first-hand information to prepare a comprehensive report for the consideration of the House before the consideration of the 2021 formulae for the distribution of the DACF”, he said.
