Scrap Fiscal Responsibility Advisory Council — CSOs
Timothy Ngnenbe 1 minute read
Economic Governance Platform (EGP), an umbrella body comprising 15 civil society organisations (CSOs), has called for the restructuring or scrapping of the Fiscal Responsibility Advisory Council (FRAC) set up by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to the group, the current arrangements where the council was wholly controlled by the President made it unsustainable since its existence would be conterminous with the President’s tenure of office.
Rather, the group is advocating an overhaul of the system to make the council independent of executive control, saying that was the best way forward to ensure that the public had access to relevant information on the work of the council.
