The Majority Leader in Parlia­ment, Mahama Ayariga, has called for the provi­sion of adequate financial and technical support for assembly and unit committee members, to enhance governance and accelerate development at the grassroots level.

According to him, unit com­mittee leaders in particular, play a crucial role in gathering data and disseminating information within their constituencies, making it imperative for them to be well-re­sourced.

Mr Ayariga made the call on the floor of Parliament, in Accra, yesterday during a discussion on strengthening of the country's local governance system.

The Majority leader stressed the need for better resourcing of assembly and unit committee members.
