Finance Committee demands detailed breakdown for GH₵500m drought request

The Finance Committee of Parliament has raised concerns over the Ministry of Finance's request for GH₵500 million from the Contingency Fund to address drought in Northern Ghana.

Ranking Member Isaac Adongo highlighted three key issues that must be addressed before approval: the status of previous advances from the Stabilisation Fund during COVID-19, a detailed breakdown of beneficiaries, and a specific budget allocation for the requested funds.

The committee awaits this data before making a decision on the request, emphasizing the need for clarity and accountability.
