48 Assemblies fail to collect GH¢10.55m revenue -AG
Auditor-General disclosed that 48 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) across the country failed to collect more than GH¢10.55 million in internally generated revenue in 2025. This revelation is contained in the Auditor-General's Report on the Accounts of District Assemblies for the financial year ended December 31, 2025. The report stated, "We noted that 48 Assemblies failed to collect revenue totalling GH¢10,550,194.48 from property rates, business operating permits, rent, market tolls and other revenue sources."
The affected Assemblies failed to collect GH¢10,550,194.48 from property rates, business operating permits, rents from occupants of government bungalows, market tolls, and other revenue sources by the end of the 2025 financial year. This failure deprived the Assemblies of funds needed for development projects and statutory obligations, consequently increasing reliance on the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) to finance administrative expenditures. The Auditor-General recommended that Management of the respective Assemblies strengthen revenue mobilisation efforts and actively pursue all defaulters for recovery of the outstanding GH¢10,550,194.48.
