The Ashaiman Municipal Assembly (ASHMA) in the Greater Accra Region has scored 98 per cent in the District Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT) for the 2023 year under review. The DPAT is a medium that the central government uses to assess the performance of districts. It is aimed at ensuring that the assemblies execute their mandate legally and comply with the regulatory and policy framework as enshrined in legal instruments that provide the mandate they work with. Mr. Albert Boakye Okyere, the Ashiaman Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), revealed this during the first ordinary meeting of the ASHMA. Mr Okyere added that the Assembly over the years had seen tremendous improvement in general service delivery within the municipality, especially in its programmes and policy implementation in the Assembly's Annual Action Plan (AAP). He noted that the assembly played a pivotal role in local economic development, and that could not be overlooked, stressing that his outfit had positioned itself to maximise the deplo yment of modern technological tools in the delivery of services to the citizens. He said through the effective and prudent implementation of policies and programmes, ASHMA had also moved from the 45th position in 2022 to 24th in 2023 in the District League Table (DLT), where all the 261 MMDAs were ranked annually. Mr. Okyere expressed gratitude to the various departmental heads for their commitment and support, assuring that the assembly would put in measures to solve the various accommodation challenges for effective administrative duties to elicit the expected result.
