The Minority has indicated that it may pursue constitutional enforcement measures if alleged non-compliance with District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) obligations continues.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh highlighted that Article 2(1) of the Constitution allows any citizen or institution to approach the Supreme Court when constitutional breaches are suspected.
“Constitutions do not enforce themselves. When administrative practice diverges from constitutional command, enforcement mechanisms must be considered,” he said.
He, however, clarified that litigation is not the preferred option. Instead, he urged Parliament to codify Supreme Court compliance directives into fiscal statutes to prevent recurring violations.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh also called for strengthened parliamentary oversight, including mandatory quarterly reports from the Minister for Finance detailing total revenue collected, DACF calculations, actual transfers, and outstanding balances.
“Oversight must have consequences,” he warned, adding that persistent non-compliance could trigger parliamentary sanctions.
