The tracker, according to the government, is designed to promote transparency and accountability in the implementation of infrastructure projects nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The tracker is expected to address long-standing issues regarding the accuracy and reliability of project presentations, especially the use of artist\u2019s impressions to represent results.<\/p>\n<p>The tool is intended to be a dependable method for demonstrating the progress and impact of infrastructure projects, thereby fostering trust and confidence among the populace.<\/p>\n<p>However, on Friday, April 12, the government acknowledged that 67 entries were erroneously included in the list of projects displayed on the Performance Tracker at its launch.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Information made this known in a social media post and expressed gratitude for the substantial interest demonstrated by the public in the tracker.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Friday, Ms. Annan told Selorm Adonoo that the government should have been truthful during these challenging economic times instead of spreading falsehoods to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think that it is a vote-catching gimmick or it is just calculated to mislead people because there are too many lies contained in that tracker. We started exposing the lies some hours after the tracker was launched. And this morning government itself has come out to admit that true to our accountability, 67 lies have been deleted because many people have detected them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I don\u2019t know why this government has set a very low standard for public governance systems as we speak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause one would expect that in accounting to the people for the period that you have been in power, the least you can do in an era when you have the highest inflation rate in an era where unemployment is highest in 40 years, in an era where pensioners do not have access to their invested funds, the government would at least be candid and show some level of honesty,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"entry-content no-share\">\n<div class=\"content-inner \">\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beatrice Annan, spokesperson for the John Mahama campaign team, has criticised the government\u2019s newly launched Performance Tracker, calling it a ploy to win votes by deceiving the public.
