PARLIAMENT’S Committee on Local Government and Rural Development has called for a probe into the construction of the Nkwanta North District Assembly Complex over some infractions cited in the 2025 Auditor-General’s report, including the non-functioning toilets and poor electrical wiring.
To this end, it has directed the clerk to the committee to write to the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) to seek details of the contractor who constructed the project over defects identified.
The directive followed concerns raised by a member of the committee, Mr John Darko, over infractions involving the facility, as highlighted in the 2025 Auditor-General’s report.
Appearing before the committee at a public hearing on Wednesday, the Coordinating Director of the Nkwanta North District Assembly, Mr Samuel Gyamena, said about 95 per cent of the infractions cited in the report had been addressed.
He, however, explained that the assembly complex was inaugurated for use in 2024 before the contractor had completed the project. Read More.
