Digital City Solutions Ltd (DCS) through myassembly.gov.gh account payment platform solely managed by Digital City Solutions Ltd.
According to him, in line with resolutions passed by various Assemblies, including Ho Municipal Assembly Resolution dated 14th September,2023 and Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly dated 31st July 2023, MMDAs across Ghana faced significant financial difficulties due to the illegal action by the above mentioned institution and entity from the beginning of 2023 to 2024.
The assembly members urge that, the report should be made available to the public to enhance transparency and accountability. Addi that, the financial challenges facing the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies are urgent and require immediate action, since this action seem to be a looting system that crippled the Assemblies to be financially on their knees.
Ensuring proper management and distribution of property rate revenues collected by GRA and DCS is critical for the effective operation of these local bodies and the well-being of the communities they serve.
