Parliament has approved an amount of GHC250,000 each for Members of Parliament through the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) distribution formula.
This allocation is intended to fund education-related projects in the constituencies of MPs. An additional GHC150,000 has been allocated to each Member of Parliament to monitor these projects.
The Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, reacting to the report on the floor of Parliament on Saturday, March 29, said, “At the deliberations, we also suggested to the minister [finance] that there should be some re-alignment.
“And following the pressures that MPs often come under, educational needs across the country, there should be some upward adjustments, relative project fund for MPs. And the administrator [GEFTund] and the finance minister complied and acceded to our requests.”
