Government secures logistical support for public institutions

The Akufo-Addo government will present logistical support to selected public institutions in Ghana in the coming days

In line with its commitment to resource public institutions adequately, the Akufo-Addo government will present logistical support in the coming days to selected public institutions in Ghana as part of the implementation of the Public Sector Reform for Results Project (PSRRP).

This was made known by the Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, at a press conference in Kumasi on Tuesday 7 September 2020.

The logistics, which include 25 vehicles, scores of motorbikes and assorted office equipment, will be presented to selected beneficiary state institutions including the Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Birth and Deaths Registry and selected ministries, departments and agencies.

The Information Minister said that these logistics are to augment the vehicles and office equipment available in the institutions. They are in line with the government’s moves to equip state-owned institutions with resources they need to discharge their lawful duties effectively and efficiently.

“The development objective of the PSRRP is to improve efficiency and accountability in the delivery of selected services by these public entities. The project partially supports the implementation of Ghana’s National Public Sector Reform Strategy (2018-2023) through a World Bank credit facility.

“It is the expectation of government that these logistics will further enhance the service delivery, efficiency, accountability and citizen engagement of the beneficiary organisations,” the Information Minister said.

The minister charged the receiving institutions to ensure that their allotment is used effectively for the purposes for which they are intended. He added that the institutions should put in adequate measures to ensure the proper maintenance of all the logistic supplies that will require it.
