The Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Ebenezer Tetteh Kupualor, revealed in an interview that, the committee is coming as a unit to make sure that policies that are raised are duly implemented and they will also play advisory role in matters of financial administration by holding the assembly to the Financial Administration Act and make sure they (assembly) go by it and use it as a working tool so that they don't deviate from public finance management and put the assembly on its toes.

He further stated that this step will bring financial prudence and seal financial leakages to make the assembly manage its funds well. 

By so doing, accountability and transparency shall be enhanced as far as public administrative work is concerned. He added that that the move will also alert the workers to be serious in all their endeavors.

The MCE again emphasized on the fact that, the committee is one of the important pillars of the assembly, hence it was necessary to inaugurate it as early as possible to play a watch dog role and strengthen institutional structures even upon his tenure as Chief Executive of the Municipality.

Mr. Ransford Adjei, the Director General of Internal Audit Agency administered the oath of office and secrecy .
