The Minority Caucus has called for the immediate withdrawal or substantial revision of the 2025 DACF Guidelines, insisting they strictly adhere to Parliament’s approved formula.
According to Mr. Annoh-Dompreh, 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 emphasized.
The Caucus also urged Parliament to reassert its authority under Article 252, stressing that legislative supremacy in public finance is fundamental to democratic governance.
In addition, the Minority appealed to civil society organisations and the media to strengthen oversight. “Transparency is the oxygen of decentralisation,” Mr. Annoh-Dompreh said, warning that public silence could encourage constitutional deviations.
He added that correcting the guidelines is crucial not only for procedural integrity but also for restoring confidence among district assemblies.
