The government has acknowledged that 67 entries were mistakenly included on the list of projects featured on the performance tracker following its launch.
In a tweet, the Ministry of Information expressed gratitude for the considerable interest shown by citizens in the tracker.
“Following the successful launch of the Performance Tracker, the Government expresses gratitude for the remarkable interest and scrutiny from citizens.
“This level of engagement demonstrates the public’s commitment to ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the information provided. Within 48 hours following the launch, our attention has been drawn to 67 entries which were erroneously included,” the tweet read.
Also, the Ministry noted that some 74 projects which should have been included as they had been concluded by June 2023 have found their way onto the tracker.
Further information on the exact projects that have been taken out and included is yet to be provided.
The government launched the Performance Tracker on Wednesday, April 10, with the aim of enhancing transparency and accountability in the implementation of infrastructure projects nationwide.
During the launch, Minister-desginante of Works and Housing Kojo Oppong Nkrumah emphasized the tracker’s role in promoting transparency and accountability in infrastructure projects across the country.
He highlighted that the tracker addresses long-standing concerns about the accuracy and reliability of project presentations, particularly regarding the use of artist’s impressions to depict outcomes.
Currently, the tracker showcases over 13,000 projects nationwide. The MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi noted that the tracker represents an upgraded version of the previously introduced Delivery Tracker by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in 2020, emphasizing its significance in monitoring the progress of various projects across the nation.
