The Majority leader in Parliament,Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu has noted that the creation of three development Authorities by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government will complement efforts of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) rather than exercising control over them to deliver development.
According to him the 1992 constitution clearly specifies that no action should be undertaken to exercise control over District Assemblies or incompatible with their activities.
He emphasized the necessity of the creation of the three development authorities to help bridge the development disparities between them.
He noted the need for the three authorities to be adequately resourced in order to deliver the needed development whiles urging Parliament to critically consider the funding sources especially for the authorities.
The Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Member of Parliament for Suame stated that the effort must be sustained and not allowed to fail for any reason.
‘Mr Speaker’ I agree that this endeavour should not fail, vested time endeavour should not fail, if it does they will be fatigue from both Members of Parliament and donors who would not be willing any longer to put anything in the basket of our national development he cautioned.
