By Edem Agbana, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ketu North, has voiced reservations about the government’s Performance Tracker initiative, designed to document and publicize projects executed since 2017.
In an interview on The Big Issue on Citi FM, Agbana stressed the importance of the government focusing on addressing its unmet promises and performance shortcomings rather than prioritizing potentially non-existent projects.
“You have performed abysmally in seven years and just less than a year, you go ahead to launch a performance tracker and here we are today asking about the cost of the projects you claim to have executed and you are here giving a lot of stories that do not have anything to do with Ghanaians,” Edem Agbana told the host, Selorm Adonoo.
He further remarked that the introduction of the performance tracker has only served to reveal the government’s ineptitude and desperation, as it includes projects completed by non-governmental organizations in its tally as achievements of the Akufo-Addo-led administration.
“The mediocrity is so glaring and the launch of the performance has even amplified it. The government launched the Delivery Tracker in 2020 and they have abandoned it and have now gone to launch this so-called performance tracker.
“The government is so desperate that they are listing projects done by even NGOs when they should be looking at what happened to the 300 SHSs they promised to build and the projects that they promised to build for districts that they have not been able to achieve.”
