PIAC inspects GHS 42.4m oil revenue funded projects in Western North and North East Regions

The Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) in line with its second and third mandate held public engagements as well as inspected oil revenue funded projects in the Western North and North East Regions.

The public engagements and projects inspection took place simultaneously in the two regions from Sunday, April 24, 2022 to Friday, April 29, 2022. 

GH₵10.5m Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) Administration Block

In the Western North Region, the Committee inspected the construction of a 3-storey Regional  Coordinating Council (RCC) Administration Block in Sefwi Wiawso, construction of three Senior Staff Bungalows at Sefwi Wiawso and a rural market in Amoaya in the Bodi Constituency. 

The construction of the RCC building received GH₵10,591,533.09 from the ABFA in 2020 and  2021.

During the visit, the Committee found that the building had been completed,  commissioned, and in use. Members were generally of the view that the project had been well  executed.

 GH₵1.7m Senior Staff Bungalows

The senior staff bungalows received a total of GH₵1,779,660 from the ABFA in 2020. The project  was reported to be 90 percent complete with bungalows erected and roofed, internal finishing virtually completed, and external works ongoing.

At the time of the Committee’s visit, the project  was found to have reached the reported stage of completion and work done was satisfactory. The Committee looks forward to the expeditious completion of the project for use by RCC.

GH₵107,327 Rural Market in Amoaya

The rural market, situated in Amoaya, received GH₵107,327.70 from the ABFA in 2020, but work  had stalled due to the delay in the release of funds by government.

Members of the Committee  were however informed that the District Assembly was exploring other options to get the market fully constructed for use by the community.

The Committee recommends that government  should disburse funds for speedy completion of the project to serve the community as the project  was executed at the request of the Assembly.

GH₵1.3m 1,000-metric tonne warehouse

In the North East Region, PIAC together with officials of the East Mamprusi Municipal Assembly  and RCC, inspected a 1,000-metric tonne warehouse with ancillary facilities at Gambaga, which had received GH₵1,330,932.11 from the ABFA in 2019 and 2020.

Although the facility was  commissioned in 2021, it became operational in 2022. The Committee recommends the  execution of more of such projects and the installation of adequate systems and equipment for  effective operation of the facility. 

GH₵20m Nalerigu – Gbintri road

The upgrading of the Nalerigu – Gbintri road, which had been allocated GH₵20,000,000 from the  ABFA in 2020, was also inspected by the PIAC Team and officials of the Ghana Highway Authority. 

Outstanding works include clearing and road widening works on some sections, with earthworks  and culvert works ongoing. The 40-km road spans over 15 communities, and when completed  would ease transportation within these communities.

The physical progress of the project stands  at about 32 percent. Work done was assessed to be satisfactory. 

GH₵8.6m 3-Storey Administration Block

The third project inspected by the Committee in the company of officials of the RCC was the  construction of a 3-Storey Administration Block for the Council, located in Nalerigu.

Construction  commenced in 2019, and the project was expected to have been completed in 2021. Outstanding  works include painting, tiling, electricals, and furnishing.

A total of GH₵8,604,336.59 from the  ABFA went into financing the project in 2020 and 2021, with the project currently at a physical  completion stage of 78 percent. The Committee recommends the timely completion of the  project to end the continuous rental of office by RCC.

The Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC), the statutory body with oversight  responsibility of the management and use of the country’s petroleum revenues, has over the  years embarked on its statutory activities which include engaging the public and inspecting projects that have received funding from the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA).  

The public engagement is in line with the second mandate of PIAC, which is to provide space and  platform for the public to debate on whether spending prospects and management and use of  revenues conform to development priorities.  

PIAC also carries out inspections on projects that have received funding from the ABFA in line  with its third mandate, which is to provide independent assessment on the management and use of petroleum revenues to assist Parliament and the Executive in the oversight and the  performance of related functions.

The inspection is to verify the existence and progress of the  projects, and assess their usefulness to the community, if completed.
