It include allocations the for District Assembly, Member of Parliament’s (MP) share of the fund and the Persons With Disability Fund (PWD).

Mr. Thomas Mbomba the Tatale/Sanguli District Chief Executive announced this when he addressed the First Ordinary general meeting of the Assembly for 2018, held at Pentecost Church at Tatale, in the Tatale/Sanguli District of Northern Region.

Mr. Mbomba said projects funded by the 2017 District Assemblies Common Fund include the construction of a CHPs Compound with ancillary facilities at Nakpale Borile, construction of a Dining Hall Complex with store, kitchen and office at Tatale, E.P Agriculture Senior High School (TEPAS SHS), drilling of 6 boreholes at Nandon, Kwakwado, Likpaltab, Ketebu, Kalani and Dawondo, and the construction of a unit classroom block with ancillary facility at Bekpajab, among others.

Apart from the bore holes, all the other projects are ongoing.

Touching on Internally Generated Fund (IGF), he said from January to May 2018 the Assembly mobilized an amount of GHC51,420.20, representing 52 per cent of the budgeted IGF for the year 2018.

Mr. Mbomba noted that, there is cause to worry because the Assembly has not been able to generate anything from rates and rent. He called on the Assembly members to intensity education on tax in the district to create awareness on the need to pay taxes especially on rent and property rates.

According to the District Chief Executive, the Government has released part of the District Development Facility (DDF) the District Assembly qualified for in the 2013 assessment year. He said Nahuyili, Sachilbo and Kalani have benefited from boreholes by the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), which funded the boreholes.

Mr. Mbomba said only 11 communities out of 170 communities are yet to achieve the district wide Open Defecation Free (ODF) plan. He urged the Assembly members to support the staff of the Environmental Health Unit to attain the ODF.
