The Ghana Youth Leadership Acad­emy (GYLA) has urged stakeholders in project development, particularly municipal assemblies, to prioritise the com­pletion of existing projects before initiating new ones. According to the non-partisan advoca­cy group, this approach would ensure that resources are utilised efficiently and projects are brought to fruition rather than being left unfinished. In a statement issued on Wednesday by the leader of the group, Prince Yeboah Okyere, it noted that the Auditor General's reports are replete with these projects, which have now become setbacks to the socio-economic development of the country. It said that projects intended to improve essential services, including healthcare, education, and housing, have instead become symbols of wasted resources and lost oppor­tunities for national development. To address this, the statement said the group would engage with local assemblies to identify effective strategies and measures to help en­sure existing projects are completed before new ones commence. "We plan to collaborate with local government and rural develop­ment authorities, recognising their oversight role in ensuring project completion," it stated.
