Business News of Tuesday, 24 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has laid before Parliament the Value for Money Office Bill, describing it as a decisive step to tackle chronic inefficiencies in Ghana’s public financial management system. He explained that the proposed Value for Money Office will function as a specialised and independent oversight institution with a clear technical mandate. The Office will conduct value for money assessments, issue mandatory Value for Money Certificates before major contracts are awarded, monitor compliance and enforce sanctions where violations occur. The Minister indicated that the Bill aligns Ghana with established international best practices in public expenditure management. He concluded that the establishment of the Value for Money Office will not only enhance public trust and investor confidence but also ensure that public investments deliver tangible social and economic returns for the Ghanaian people.
