The government has indicated that 67 entries were mistakenly listed on the platform that it recently launched to track government infrastructure.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the official page of the government’s Performance Tracker said it had corrected the errors after the public drew its attention to the mistake. It is not clear yet if those entries were about projects implemented or general data on sectors listed on the platform.
This level of engagement demonstrates the public’s commitment to ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the information provided.

“The performance tracker is a database that showcases the performances of the government of Ghana and it is going to show you the various projects that have been executed across the country,” Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, a minister of state said during the official unveiling of the project.
