Beyond the guidelines dispute, the Minority highlighted persistent DACF arrears and alleged constitutional breaches in fund releases.
Annoh-Dompreh cited Article 252(2), which mandates that not less than five per cent of total national revenue be allocated to the Fund.
He referenced the 2019 Supreme Court ruling in Benjamin Komla Kpodo & Richard Quashigah v. Attorney-General, which struck down attempts to cap the Fund below the constitutional threshold.
“Non-payment or underpayment is unconstitutional,” he asserted.
He claimed that transfers in recent years have fallen below the required minimum, creating what he described as an “arrears trap”.
