The Minister-designate of State at the Local Government Ministry, Osei Bonsu Amoah has charged Regional Ministers and Regional Coordinating Directors to be up and doing.
This, he explained is because they risk not being promoted if they fail to meet the Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
“.. Obviously, if you don’t deliver, then your promotion becomes a problem. If you don’t deliver and you will not be marked as required under the contract and under the law, it can go against you as far as evaluation is concerned,” he said.
He made these remarks on the sidelines of a meeting to review proposed Key Performance Indicators and the signing of the 2023 Performance Contract (PC) between Regional Ministers (RM) and Regional Coordinating Directors (RCDs) on Thursday.
Explaining the importance of the meeting, he said it is to peruse the contract that the RMs and RCDs have to sign.
“This is a very important ceremony and it involves deliberation on what will go into an agreement as to how the staff, especially those at the senior level who perform their duties and then the implication of not complying.”
He also noted that the meeting is to deliberate on issues that the RMs and RCDs have encountered “so that at the end of the day, they all have a certain level of understanding and append their signatures to the documents to bind them for the coming year.”
He added that the indicators will help determine who tops in the Regional Coordinating Councils' ranking in the Local Government report after Volta Region topped in 2021.
He, therefore, urged other regions to also put in their utmost best to also lead in the ranking.
“The Office of the Local Government Service is to monitor, evaluate how they perform, your work under contract as to who becomes the next champion, the indications and evaluations will tell,” he said.
When asked about the indicators the monitoring team considers, he said “when it comes to performance, it is really under the Local Service Act, it is very critical. How do you perform administratively, service delivery, financially, that is what they look for.”
