In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Mr. Akanbasiam stated that the Bill provides legal backing for the establishment and operations of the LEAP programme.
He explained that the legislation assigns funding sources to ensure timely and adequate support for vulnerable groups.

Mr. Akanbasiam emphasised that the law guarantees predictable and sustainable payments, adding that systems and structures have been strengthened to enhance programme delivery.

"We can certainly be assured that beneficiaries receive what is due them-on time and in the right value," he said.
He encouraged beneficiaries to adopt positive behavioural changes and invest in their livelihoods to support the attainment of LEAP's objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Such efforts, he noted, would help reduce or eliminate vulnerability and extreme poverty, promoting a society of dignity, peace and happiness.

Mr. Akanbasiam also appealed to the President to assent to the Bill, stressing that the government and stakeholders had consistently demonstrated commitment to its passage.

Introduced in 2008, LEAP is a cash transfer programme that supports extremely poor households, including orphans, elderly persons without support, individuals with severe disabilities, and vulnerable mothers with infants under one year.
