Joyce Bawah Mogtari, the special aide to former President John Dramani Mahama, has described the government’s Performance Tracker as a waste of resources.
She says the tracker is misleading.
“To my utter surprise and disappointment, the misleading GoG Performance Tracker, failed to track the performance of Akufo Addo/Bawumia’s performance on corruption. What a waste of precious resources! Tell us how you and your boys and girls have perfected the art of corruption.
“We are told that 80% of government projects and contracts are single-sourced, and individuals and companies are handpicked by this nepotistic government and awarded juicy contracts. That is what this NPP government should be tracking down and paying back to the now miserably empty public purse,” she wrote on her x platform.

The Performance Tracker was launched in Accra on Wednesday, April 10.
With over 13,000 projects across 261 districts, 28 ministries, and 16 regions, this platform monitors government performance nationwide.
Minister of Works and Housing Kojo Oppong Nkrumah who presented the document said that the launch marked another milestone in transparency and accountability.
“It’s user-friendly, with both website and mobile interfaces,” the foGoase Ayirebi lawmaker said.
Built upon the Delivery Tracker of 2020, he added “it reflects our commitment to continuously improve.”
“Congratulations to VP Bawumia for this initiative. I encourage all to use it for informed governance participation,” the former Information Minister wrote on his X platform.
During the launch at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) Mr Oppong Nkrumah who presented the tracker stated that “the tracker is a database to showcase projects by the government”.
During his presentation, the Minister said, “most of the time what people says is that what does government use my taxpayers’ money for? Well, this App will help you find whatever projects the government is using your money for”.
“This 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,” the Ofaose Ayirebi lawmaker said.
