approved GH¢250,000 for each MP to fund education-related projects in their respective constituencies, along with an additional GH¢150,000 per MP for the monitoring of these projects.
Reacting to the development on Good Evening Ghana on April 3, 2025, Adom-Otchere asserted that some NDC MPs are dissatisfied with the government for sidelining them and not considering them for appointments.
He further claimed that these disgruntled MPs have expressed concerns that the lack of government appointments, which would have secured them budgetary allocations, could negatively impact their parliamentary prospects in the 2028 party primaries, leading to increased pressure. "The reason as we have been told is that there's concern from the 188 Members of of the NDC who did not secure ministerial positions, are not likely to secure board positions, and did not secure deputy ministerial positions and therefore, do not have any executive authority where they have the power of the pen to sign signatures and also get a budget to run with. "And so, they feel that there will be pressure on them from their constituents given that everyone knows they are members of the ruling party and they may lose their primaries," he alleged.
