Parliament has approved an amount of 250 million Ghana Cedis each for Members of Parliament through the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) distribution formula.
This allocation is intended to fund education-related projects in the constituencies of MPs. An additional GHC150,000 has been allocated to each Member of Parliament to monitor these projects.
The Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, reacting to the report on the floor of Parliament on Saturday, March 29, said, “At the deliberations, we also suggested to the minister [finance] that there should be some re-alignment.
“And following the pressures that MPs often come under, educational needs across the country, there should be some upward adjustments, relative project fund for MPs. And the administrator [GEFTund] and the finance minister complied and acceded to our requests.”
