Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has announced a GH¢100 million allocation for the payment of monthly allowances to all Assembly Members across the country.

Presenting the 2025 Budget Statement to Parliament on Tuesday, March 11, Dr. Forson emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting local governance.

“Mr. Speaker, an amount of GH¢100 million has been allocated for the payment of monthly allowances to all Assembly Members,” he stated.

Additionally, he revealed that the government has set aside resources to assist victims of recent tidal waves in the Ketu South constituency, which displaced residents of Agavedzi and surrounding communities.

“In response to the recent tidal waves disaster that displaced residents of Agavedzi and surrounding communities in the Ketu South constituency, we have also allocated enough resources to the Ministry of Works and Housing to address the challenge,” Dr. Forson announced.

The move is expected to enhance local governance while providing relief to affected communities.
