The Government of Ghana has indicated that it has systematically increased funding for key accountability institutions in the country.
President Nana Akufo-Addo made this known on Monday, September 9, 2019, in his address at the Ghana Bar Association Conference.
According to him, the beneficiary institutions included Parliament, the Judiciary, the Office of the Attorney General, CHRAJ and the Auditor General.
“2017 witnessed a 25% increase in allocations to these five institutions over those of 2016,” he said.
He added that “2018 witnessed a 34% increase over 2017; and the 2019 mid-year budgetary allocation is virtually at par with 2018.”
