The Minister made the disclosure during the Government Accountability Series, where he outlined increased financial transfers to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, MMDAs, across the country.

For Ketu South, stakeholders including residents, traditional leaders, assembly members and civil society organisations are expected to demand a detailed account of projects executed and the impact of the over GH¢40 million received by the Assembly.
