The 2017 budget reading yesterday at the Amansie Central District Assembly turned dramatic when the District Financial Officer and the District Chief Executive who doubles as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for the Odotobiri constituency, Mr. Emmanuel Dede-Appiah locked horns on how much money the Assembly has spent on the Chief Executive’s residence.
According to the District Financial Officer, GHC 43,000 have been spent on Milo,milk, sugar and other household items meant for the Chief Executive’s residence as at September 2016;but in a quick rebuttal, Mr. Emmanuel Dede Appiah denied receipts of the said items that amounted to that amount.
Some Assembly Members who objected to the budget reading, asked the District Financial Officer to go back and rectify the anomalies in the 2016 budget expenditure.
More soon.
