According to the MCE the Internally Generated Funds (IGF) of the Assembly was woefully low and needed pragmatic step to raising the financial flow of the Assembly.

He added, that, the Assembly might not be able to execute its obligation to serving the inhabitants of the municipality if its income was woefully inadequate.

Reasons ascribed to the low revenue collection were inadequate revenue collectors and apathy in payment of revenue especially by traders.

The maiden exercise that included heads of department, unit, and the general staff was conducted within the Asamankese enclaves.

It would be extended to other areas of the municipality.
