Hohoe (V/R), Nov. 12, GNA – The Hohoe Municipal Assembly has engaged members of the business community in a stakeholder consultation meeting as part of efforts to strengthen collaboration and improve revenue mobilisation for development.
The meeting brought together market store and stall occupants, hotel owners and operators, alongside officials of the Assembly, to discuss issues relating to local revenue generation and development.
Mr Prosper Kumi, Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) noted that the engagement formed part of efforts to promote transparency and accountability.
He said it also offered the platform for stronger partnerships between the Assembly and the business community towards the sustainable development of the Hohoe Municipality.
Mr Kumi gave an overview of various development projects undertaken through funding sources, including the Internally Generated Fund (IGF) and the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF).
He noted that the business community’s support through the payment of approved rates, fees, and other statutory obligations were key to revenue generated internally in financing development projects and providing essential services.
The meeting also provided an opportunity for participants to share their concerns, suggestions, and recommendations on issues affecting their businesses and the municipality.
Mr Kumi assured the stakeholders that their concerns would receive the necessary attention and consideration in the Assembly’s decision-making processes.
