The Greater Accra Region's Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly (LeKMA) has achieved its revenue goal for the past eight months, from January to August 2022.

In comparison to the GH1.37 million aim set for the previous year, the assembly has, as of August 2022, achieved 63.61 percent of its GH2.4 million goal.

Mordecai Quarshie, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the LeKMA, informed the Daily Graphic that this was the case and refuted claims that the assembly could not achieve the year's too ambitious revenue objective.

He revealed that the assembly had raised GH¢1.37million for the first eight months of the year, and expressed the hope that their target for 2022 would be met, if not exceeded.

Community engagement

Mr Quarshie attributed the achievement in meeting its revenue target to the several community engagements held with residents to discuss the importance of their revenue obligations to the assembly.

Aside from the efforts that were made to meet the revenue target, Mr Quarshie said the assembly had also discharged it financial obligations towards assembly members in the municipality.

The MCE said the assembly had held regular meetings to deliberate on issues affecting the assembly.

"I can confidently say that we do not owe our assembly members any payments or allocation,” he said.
