Parliament demands financing plan for Pwalugu Irrigation Project before 2027 Budget

The Parliamentary Committee on Food, Agriculture, and Cocoa Affairs is demanding clarity from the government on the financing model for the Pwalugu Irrigation Project before the presentation of the 2027 Budget.“The last government was financing it from the Government of Ghana budget, and so far 2025-2026, we've observed that the CAPEX component of the budget for the Ministry of Agriculture is unable to finance such a huge project,” Dr Jasaw stated.

Chairman of the Committee, Dr Godfred Seidu Jasaw, said the government’s commitment to reviving the project must be backed by a clear financing arrangement to ensure work can resume and progress steadily.
