Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has, on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, laid the Value for Money Office Bill, 2026, before Parliament.
He laid the bill on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, and it was read from the first time.
According to the minister, the bill confronts persistent inefficiencies in public spending — inflated contracts, abandoned projects, cost overruns and waste.
He stated that the bill establishes an independent Value for Money Office to rigorously assess major public expenditures, certify contracts before approval, monitor compliance and enforce sanctions where necessary.
Dr Forson noted that the purpose of the bill is to protect public funds, eliminate waste and ensure that every cedi delivers measurable value to the Ghanaian people.
