The Minority Caucus has formally called for the immediate withdrawal or substantial revision of the 2025 DACF Guidelines, insisting that they must strictly align with Parliament’s approved formula.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh stated that the DACF Administrator is legally bound under Section 125 of Act 936 to implement only the formula sanctioned by Parliament.
“Administrative circulars cannot amend constitutional mandates,” he said.
The Caucus also urged Parliament to reassert its authority under Article 252, stressing that legislative supremacy in public finance is foundational to democratic governance.
Beyond Parliament, the Minority appealed to civil society organisations and the media to intensify oversight.
“Transparency is the oxygen of decentralisation,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh remarked, warning that public silence would embolden constitutional deviation.
He maintained that correcting the guidelines is essential not merely for procedural integrity but for restoring confidence among district assemblies.
