Call for NGO Activities to be Monitored

Ghana’s deputy for northern regional minister, Moses Bukari Magbenba, has called for a legislation and regulatory body to monitor the activities both local and foreign NGOs in the country. Magbenba argues that some of these organisations are not operating in the interest of their proposed beneficiaries.

Magbenba says he observed that the legislative power is needed because some NGOs have lost their focus of being non-profit entities and are making huge profits at the expense of poor communities.

He, however, commended some NGOs that have made tremendous strides in helping the nation to meet and sustain their development objectives in the face of challenges.
