Mrs Frema Opare, the Chief of Staff, said on Friday, Government of Ghana will not tolerate the non-performance of Chief Directors of the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

Mrs Opare said speaking at the signing of Chief Directors 2017 performance agreements and 2016 Awards ceremony, the harm non-performance had caused to the fortunes of heavily endowed nation was great and this must not be allowed to continue.

The introduction of the Performance Agreement System in 2010 in the Civil Service is one of the efforts designed to bring the civil service leadership into focus, and through that change the negative public perception on their service delivery.

She said, we have remained poor in the abundance of enormous natural wealth and this is unacceptable and must change.

She said performance agreements were about establishing expectation, appointing accountability for them and setting standards for their execution.

She said such agreements were usually to ensure quality performance and so there must be consequence for not meeting key targets, goals and results.

Mrs Opare said Chief Directors and government were by the agreement defining actions to be taken and results to expect from those actions.

She said Chief Director needed to show the President through their Ministers that they were capable and willing to help the government execute its agenda.

She continued, please, recall that the President said he is not interested in witch-hunting and that all he requires is professionalism and co-operation to enable him fulfill the mandate given him.
