The flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has aimed the government's recently introduced Performance Tracker.

While addressing attendees during his 'Building the Ghana We Want' tour in Nalerigu, North East Region, on Tuesday, April 16, Mr Mahama criticised the projects listed in the tracker, dismissing them as fanciful endeavours undeserving of commendation.

The Performance Tracker was officially unveiled by the government on Wednesday, April 10, with the primary objective of improving transparency and accountability in the implementation of infrastructure projects across the nation.

However, just two days later, on Friday, April 12, the government publicly acknowledged the inclusion of 67 incorrect entries in the initial list of projects showcased on the tracker during its launch. This revelation prompted widespread criticism and scrutiny.

In light of the government's admission regarding the erroneous entries, Mr Mahama drew comparisons between the Performance Tracker and the NDC's well-known Green Book.

By doing so, Mr Mahama implied that the tracker fails to accurately reflect the government's actual efforts and achievements.

“They have come with something they call a performance tracker, and they are retracting some of the things. They say 67 were put in error, and the performance tracker has things that the district assembly should be doing, toilets. We built a toilet here, we built a toilet there. You know."

“When we published our green book, our green book was evidence-based. And every single thing you see in the green book exists, and we have done it here in Ghana.

"They can go and take the green book. I challenge the media. Go and take the green book and show me one project in the green book that does not exist."

“We didn’t have to retract anything. They found it was solid, so they came and said, oh, we went to Dubai and took pictures. University of Ghana Medical Centre. They said it’s a hospital in Dubai.

"We went and took the pictures and came and put them in the green book. Today, when they are sick, they go to the University of Ghana Medical Center for treatment,” he said.
