Okaikwei North Budget Unit Train Assembly Members On Revised Composite Budget Manual

Mr. Victor Enimful, of the Fiscal Decentralization Unit at the Ministry of Finance says the role of Assembly Members in revenue mobilization is key to the development of District and Municipal Assemblies in the country.
According to him, Assembly Members have a pivotal role to play in the mobilization of Assembly’s Internally Generated Funds (IGF).
These monies Mr. Enimful stated go into the funding of projects and programmes in the communities of the Assembly Members.
He explained that failure by the Assembly Members has implications on the development of electoral areas of the Assembly Members.
Mr. Enimful was speaking at a training workshop for newly elected Assembly Members and government Appointees of Metropolitan, Municipal And District Assembly’s in Accra.
Chairperson for the event and Assembly Member for Anumle Electoral Area in an address lauded the Budget Unit of the Assembly for the training workshop.
He said the training would equip the Assembly Members to make meaning contributions to the budget of the Assembly when the need arises.
The participants were taken through among other topics: budget programmes, types of budgets and sources of funds for the Assembly.
