Yakubu Faharudeen, the former Acting General Secretary of the People's National Convention (PNC), has expressed support for the government's decision to make Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) responsible for paying their electricity bills.
Mr.
Faharudeen said the policy was a step in the right direction and would help prevent wastage and promote financial discipline at the local government level.
He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that all assemblies could cover their electricity costs since they generate their internal revenue through fees, licenses, property rates, and other local charges.
