The Public Account Committee (PAC) has trained various Municipal and District Assemblies to agree with the provision of the Income Tax Act, 2015 (Act 896).
As indicated by the law, keeping specialists are expected to transmit kept expenses to the Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) in somewhere around 15 days after the end of each schedule month.
In any case, the Evaluator General’s report has uncovered that few Assemblies, including the Atwima Nwabiagya North District, Amansie West District, Bosome Freho District, Banda District, and Wenchi Municipal Assembly, among others, have not stuck to this order.
This issue surfaced during the second day of PAC’s hearings in Sunyani, where the Committee surveyed the Auditor General’s Report on the Management and Usage of the District Assemblies Common Found and other Legal Assets for the year finishing December 31, 2023.
The Committee communicated serious worry over the inability to dispatch charges, stressing that such slips by could affect the installment of compensations and recompenses. PAC asked the Gatherings to stop these unlawful practices right away.
Also, the Panel encouraged the Assemblies to set reasonable targets and work affordable enough for them, noticing that a few Assemblies’ Internally Generated Funds (IGF) are insufficient to help the ventures they have embraced.
This shortage has brought about delays or the relinquishment of these activities, alluded to as “heritage projects,” which at last inflate costs and adversely influence neighborhood networks.
PAC further saw that a few finished projects still can’t seem to be used by the Gatherings.
The Committee likewise engaged the Free SHS Secretariat to deliver assets to Senior High Schools (SHS) to guarantee their smooth activity.
A few school heads communicated disappointment, uncovering that since February 2024, they have gotten just GH¢9,000 for intermittent costs, with no extra assets gave from that point forward.
PAC denounced this present circumstance as inadmissible.
