Parliament has given its approval for Michael Harry Yamson to serve as the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), following a strong endorsement from the Appointments Committee.

Yamson’s confirmation came after the committee unanimously recommended him for the position, citing his competence, deep knowledge, and expertise in managing financial resources.

Appearing before the Appointments Committee on Thursday, March 20, he fielded questions from lawmakers regarding his vision and strategies for managing the DACF.

During his vetting, Yamson assured Ghanaians of his ability to efficiently oversee the fund, stressing his experience in handling budgets far larger than those under the DACF’s management.

“My professional background in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and telecommunications sectors has equipped me with the necessary expertise to excel in this role,” he noted.

With Parliament’s approval, Yamson is now set to take charge of the DACF, a critical fund that supports local governance and development across Ghana.
