‘Ghana cannot afford to waste public resources; every cedi has a job’ – Ato Forson

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has challenged regional and local government authorities to step up efforts to recover lost public funds, tighten financial controls and ensure every cedi collected by the state is properly accounted for.

Held under the theme “Recovering Every Cedi,” the meeting sought to strengthen financial accountability, improve compliance and ensure public funds are used for their approved purposes.

The Finance Minister urged public officials to make the recovery and protection of state funds a routine administrative responsibility rather than a commitment made only at official engagements.
