Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the minister of works and housing, has formally unveiled the government’s performance tracker, which is meant to verify the accountability and transparency of infrastructure project delivery.
The platform will assist in resolving long-standing issues with project presentations’ dependability and accuracy, especially with regard to the usage of artists’ impressions to show the results.
Furthermore, it will function as a dependable means of exhibiting the advancement and consequences of infrastructure initiatives, consequently fostering a sense of trust and assurance among the populace.
Oppong Nkrumah stated during the launch on Wednesday, April 10, that the performance tracker will be updated every day.
“We want to encourage you to visit the website and download the app. We want to encourage you to take time and navigate and be informed. We are responsible for the information we consume . . . don’t consume half-truths on other platforms,” he said.
The NPP MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi is convinced the tracker will address the misinformation, especially as the country heads to the December 7 general elections.
“We want to encourage you to visit the website and download the app. We want to encourage you to take time and navigate the site and be informed. We are responsible for the information we consume.
“Now the government of the Republic of Ghana is providing you with a database where the facts about projects across the 261 districts are available. The least you can do is to navigate and be informed so that when you get into that conversation with somebody, you can speak to facts. Facts that you have verified on this particular app.”
“We also encourage you to check for continuous updates because this is a live platform. It will be updated literally on a daily basis. We will open up a feedback window to receive feedback” he stated.
