  Due to a leadership incompetency, every Tom Dick and Harry have got their filthy hands in the nation's coffers stealing Ghana's money.
  We do not need the IMF, what we need is stop corruption.

  Where in this story is it mentioned that assemblies chop money? Lets all read the article well. The fact that an assembly uses common fund meant for development for other things doesn't mean anyone chopped any money. There's a difference between misapplication, misappropriation, and embezzlement. If am a DCE who has money to build a school, and there's a cholera outbreak, I will use the money to tackle the cholera issue first. In this case, I would have misapplied the funds but I didn't embezzle or chop the money. Am sure those assemblies will have good reasons why they did what they did. Our problems are systemic. No emergency preparedness and we are always reacting instead of being proactive

  It's funny how we all blame everybody but ourselves for dipping in the state pie. I can bet the guys that did the auditing also over stated their expenses when they filed for reimbursements for notching the other thieves.

  The PPP has been advocating some changes in the 1992 constitution with respect to district assemblies. Though i am not a PPP supporter nor sympathiser, I think they are right to advocate for the changes because of these problems. Because there are no checks and balances in the assemblies, i am not surprise that these things are happening. If the district secretary and the assembly members are all elected without appointments from the president,it is likely that members would come from different political parties and backgrounds therefore opposing members of the DS could look into the activities of the assembly and the DS. In the UK and other western countries, boroughs and districts are run by political parties without interefernce of the central governments. They are responsible for developments in their areas and this speeds up the development programmes. The provisions in the constitution with respect to the district assemblies need to be looked at again.

  Hire competent people to the office of the Assemblies. A government should not just give jobs to people who are incapable of doing it. This is common sense. Why do we allow the rest of the work to mock us? If the industrial world where we have become perpetual beggars were run like this, there would have being no money to loan to us, what a shame 50 years after independence we still cannot wipe our rear somebody has to do it for us.

  The Auditor General is not fair in his assessment of the MMDAS. At least he should go beyond the books to look at the challenges on the ground to enable us find reasonable solutions to his so called malpractices. Eg. How does he expect MMDAs to function when monies for 1st quarter gets to MMDAS at last quarter or never go there at all?
