This was on the occasion of the signing of the performance contract between the Ashanti Regional Minister and MMDCEs as well as MMDCDs on 14th February 2024 at the Ashanti Regional Co-ordinating Council.
In her welcome remarks, Mrs. Emelia Ayebeng Botchway, the Regional Coordinating Director indicated that MMDAs must attach all seriousness to the signing of the performance contract and make sure they work at meeting all targets.
The Regional Minister, in his address, noted that the government is committed to deepening the decentralization process and as such MMDAs need to show dedication and commitment to service delivery since work at the MMDA level is critical in promoting the government agenda.
He indicated that it is at the MMDA level that all government policies are implemented. Therefore, it is important we take a serious view of the key performance areas of the performance contract to provide the needed services for the people of the Ashanti region.
MMDCEs and MMDCDs were encouraged to work together to ensure that the Region will always be on top when the end of year assessment is conducted.
Representatives of MMDCEs and MMDCDs pledged to work hard toward achieving all targets set after signing the performance contract.
