This is a caution from the Minister of Local Government Hajia Alima Mahama.
She was speaking at a meeting with the MMDCEs in Koforidua to educate them on the provisions of the Public Financial Management Act and the sanctions there in.

She urged MMDCEs to use state resources properly in order not to be caught on the wrong side of the law. She asked them to be vigilant in their offices.
“You should also be technically sound. It is not all the time that your coordinating Director, finance officer or the budget officer just pushes something and you sign.”
“You should have some knowledge if not you will sign your death warrant because now the Public Financial Management Act has sanctions. So if you make a mistake you will be sanctioned and if it is a sanction that you are surcharged; that maybe you can get your family to contribute for you to pay. But, if it is criminal in nature, you know what that means,” she added.
