He however, noted that outdated manual processes had long hindered this mission, leading to delays and frustrations for both landlords and tenants.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on a transformative moment from July 15, 2020, Dr. Armah recounted a visit by the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the Rent Control Department where he witnessed long queues of citizens seeking essential services\u2014a clear indication of the inefficiencies plaguing the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany had traveled great distances only to encounter lengthy processes that did not reflect the modern Ghana we are striving to build,\u201d he said adding that, \u201cthe Vice President made a commitment to digitise the operations of the Department, aiming to make it more accessible and responsive to the public\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following this promise, Dr. Armah said the Ministry of Works and Housing collaborated with SuperTech Limited, a leading technology solutions provider, to ensure a comprehensive digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>He announced that Phase I of the project has now been completed, covering the digitalisation of 15 offices across 11 regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis journey has not been without its challenges,\u201d he acknowledged, \u201cbut today we celebrate a significant milestone in our commitment to empowering Ghanaians through improved public service,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Armah said the launch of the digital platform is expected to revolutionise the way the rent control department operates, ultimately fostering a more efficient and equitable rental housing environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Prince Fiifi Yorke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Prince Hamid Armah \u00a0 Deputy Minister for Works and Housing, Dr. Prince Hamid Armah, has officially launched the Digital Platform for the Rent Control Department.
