AS PART of its resolve to strengthen fiscal management, the Sawla–Tuna-Kalba District Assembly in the Northern Region is to form a committee to mobilise resources and control expenditure.
The goal of the committee is to enhance prudent and efficient cash management.
The District Chief Executive, Alhaji Alhassan Bukari, announced this during an assembly meeting at Sawla, the district capital.
He explained that the broad objective was to ensure that the assembly used public funds for both recurrent and development expenditure efficiently.
According to him, under a social democratic government such as the NDC, the returns from economic growth had to be distributed fairly, and that through resource distribution the pace of development could increase while poverty reduced.
Alhaji Bukari outlined major developments such as the construction of a number of school blocks, clinics, boreholes, standpipes and places of convenience in the district.
He said the assembly had also awarded contract for the construction of a three-unit classroom block for the Tuna Secondary School; a six-classroom block at Kalba and a multi-purpose community centre and teachers quarters in Sawla.
On rural electrification, the DCE said the assembly and the Ministry of Energy were supporting a number of communities including Kalba, Kunfisi, Nahari, Kong, Gunsi, Kentilpe and Nasoyiri.
Mr Bukari also said the assembly had initiated electrical network drawing for those communities and that expansion of electricity to Sawla, Tuna, Gindabuo, Yipala and Kulmasa was ongoing.
Alhaji Bukari gave the assurance that considerable resources would be released for the needs of all law enforcement agencies in the district.
The Presiding Member of the assembly, Mr Joseph Sanbangchorie, commended the assembly members for their dedication and cooperation.
He said being one of the newly created assemblies, the district faced challenges which needed the support and cooperation of all stakeholders to enable it to surmount them.
