The Nkwanta District Assembly performed abysmally in revenue generation from its local sources, collecting only 36,157 Ghana cedis of its target of 112,130 Ghana cedis, representing 32.2 percent of projected revenue.The District Chief Executive of the area, Mr Joseph Denteh, attributed the poor performance to the unfenced market, inactive revenue collectors and unexploited revenue sources.He said the area councils would be tasked to compile nominal rolls of rateable items to facilitate revenue collection, engage national service personnel in revenue mobilization, the provision of logistics and to pursue and sustain awareness creation.Mr Denteh said since the internally generated funds (IGF) were critical in the determination and allocation of the District's Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), the assembly would employ strategies including licensing of motorbikes and bicycles that are abundant in the area to increase its revenue.He said its first allocation of the DACF of 25,359 Ghana cedis had been received.Under the European Union Micro-Project programmes, Mr Denteh said, the district was benefiting from 160,000 Ghana cedis support with counterpart funding from the assembly and the communities amounting to 46,000 Ghana cedis in materials and labour.Eight projects spanning sanitation, education infrastructure, warehouses and culverts are under construction.He said under the Community Based Rural Development Projects, three three-unit classroom blocks with offices and store rooms, four-seat KVIPs and urinals had been completed at Jumbo, Cheri, Obunja and Kabre-Akura.Two boreholes fitted with pumps and the construction feeder roads were going on at Nagingong.Source: GNA
