Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, speaking at the Pan-African Parliament on August 1, 2025, urged lawmakers to match funding requests with clear budget priorities and accountability. The Nsawam Adoagyiri MP praised the 2024 Budget and the proposed Model Law on Factoring but emphasized the need for transparent spending, as reported by Graphic Online.
Annoh-Dompreh criticized vague claims of an 81% budget success rate, calling for detailed priorities to ensure funds align with parliamentary goals. “We must set clear priorities and monitor fund usage,” he said, advocating for stronger oversight to combat wasteful spending amidst Western funding restrictions, per JoyNews.
He highlighted carbon credits as a viable revenue source, citing initiatives by the European Union and UAE. Additionally, he commended the Model Law on Factoring, linking it to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), one of the largest trade agreements post-WTO, urging its integration into Africa’s economic strategy.
