\n

Parliament yesterday debated and adopted the 2018 Budget
\nPerformance Report of the Ministry of Special Development Initiatives which
\ngenerated a lot of controversy between the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)
\nmembers and Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) members with regard to
\nthe actual amount released to the ministry and projects that were initiated by
\nthe ministry.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Employment, Social Welfare and State
\nEnterprises Committee of Parliament (which scrutinized the budget performance
\nbefore the adoption), Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, said that despite the limited resources
\nmade available to the ministry, the ministry, which is a new one, was able to
\nachieve a lot within the year under review.<\/p>\n

The Minority NDC led by the NDC MP for Yapei\/Kusawgu, John
\nJinapor, criticized the government, especially the President, for making
\ncampaign promises of developing the constituencies by allocating $1 million to
\neach constituency every year but since taking office just about 8% of that
\namount had been released. He said the committee itself which scrutinized the
\nbudget performance was not happy with the paltry release of budgeted amounts to
\nthe Ministry by the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n

The Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, said that the amount
\npromised by the government was not intended to be given to MPs but rather to
\nthe development authorities and in collaboration with the various district
\nassemblies initiate development projects according to the peculiar needs of
\neach constituency.<\/p>\n

He, however, urged the committee members to visit all the project sites to ensure that there is value for money for all the projects being undertaken by the Ministry of Special Development Initiatives.<\/p>\n
