The statement, signed by the Director of Communications at the Jubilee House, Eugne Arhin, said "the three development authorities are tasked with the implementation of the infrastructure for poverty eradication programme- the programme which will ensure the disbursement of the equivalent $1 million per constituency per year, in fulfilment of President Akufo-Addo's 2016 campaign pledge."
