Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Buem Member of Parliament, Kofi Adams, whether or not the government is performing will be decided by Ghanaians on how they feel in their pockets.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said this will not be based on a Performance Tracker that has been launched by the government.<\/p>\n

Kofi Adams indicated that the tracker contains inaccurate information.<\/p>\n

For instance, he notes that on the tracker, it is stated that work at the St Augustine House, House 1 at the Bishop Herman College in Kpando, Volta Region, is 100 percent complete.<\/p>\n

However, he said a visit to the school recently showed that this information is false.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, April 10, he said \u201cTo come to my own school, Bishop Herman College where I attended, they are reporting that St Augutisne\u2019s House, House 1 that works in that house is 100 percent complete but I was in the school just on Tuesday 26 March 2024, that project and nothing has happened to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the government to spend our money to report that in Bishop Herman College, St Augustine\u2019s House, House 1 has been completed 100 percent is another lie. The best way to measure our performance will be in our pockets. We will not spend money to go and follow a tracker or a performance tracker that is deceptive or will mention things that do not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Performance Tracker was launched in Accra on Wednesday, April 10.<\/p>\n

With over 13,000 projects across 261 districts, 28 ministries, and 16 regions, this platform monitors government performance nationwide.<\/p>\n

Minister of Works and Housing Kojo Oppong Nkrumah who presented the document said that the launch marked another milestone in transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s user-friendly, with both website and mobile interfaces,\u201d the foGoase Ayirebi lawmaker said.<\/p>\n

Built upon the Delivery Tracker of 2020, he added \u201cit reflects our commitment to continuously improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to VP Bawumia for this initiative. I encourage all to use it for informed governance participation,\u201d the former Information Minister wrote on his X platform.<\/p>\n

During the launch at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) Mr Oppong Nkrumah who presented the tracker stated that \u201cthe tracker is a database to showcase projects by the government\u201d.<\/p>\n

During his presentation, the Minister said, \u201cmost of the time what people says is that what does government use my taxpayers\u2019 money for? Well, this App will help you find whatever projects the government is using your money for\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis government is the digitalization government and the general public can personally check with their phones, the status of the projects and even make a physical inspection if they wish to do so,\u201d the Ofaose Ayirebi lawmaker said.<\/p>\n
