The Finance Committee of Ghana’s Parliament has recommended the approval of a GHc 10.9 billion request by the government to help finance \u201ccritical government expenditure\u201d in the first quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n
The Committee noted that the government\u2019s request became necessary due to the tight election calendar which made it difficult to come out with an Appropriation Act before the end of 2016.<\/p>\n
This request is also in line with Article 180 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 23 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921).<\/p>\n
