Cabinet will then submit the report to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General for her to work on it, he said.
He made the comments when he addressed the media in Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
“In the next 10 [days] to 2 weeks, I should complete [the report] and submit it before Cabinet. Then cabinet will submit it to the Minister for Justice and Attorney-General to convert everything into a legal language,” Mr Saddique said.
He further said he expects the bill to get parliamentary approval when it is laid before the parliament.
He assured that Ghanaians will begin to see the benefit of the Zongo Development Fund once parliament approves it.
“I don’t think we will have serious challenges when the Bill is laid before Parliament. And as soon as Parliament approves it, Ghanaians will begin to see the fruits of the Zongo Development Fund,” he said.
