Mrs Korankye, called for the support and cooperation of residents of Adansi Asokwa since the Assembly is doing its best to deliver on its mandate to improve their livelihoods. He appealed to the General public to pay their fees, levies, and tolls promptly to the Assembly.
The Monitoring and Verification exercise was for the year 2020 based on the Local Government Service’s Performance Contract of the 16 Regional Coordinating Councils (RCCs) and the 260 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
The ranking is essential to monitor and verify the annual performance of RCCs & MMDAs based on their Annual Performance Evaluation Reports from the Performance Contracts signed between the RMs and RCDs at the regional level as well as the MMDCEs and MMDCDs at the local level.
