The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), Mr Simon Madjie, has called on private sector players to take a more active role in promoting accountability, efficiency and improved service delivery in public institutions.
He made the call at the 15th Ghana Economic Forum, organised by the Business and Financial Times (B&FT) in Accra.
Mr Madjie urged businesses to insist on timely service delivery, particularly when they have fulfilled all the requirements for public services to be provided within stipulated timelines.
He cautioned the private sector against accepting unnecessary bureaucratic delays, stressing the need to hold public institutions and officials accountable for their responsibilities.
According to him, businesses have an important role to play in driving public sector reforms through active engagement and by demanding improved performance from state institutions.
He noted that accountability and efficient service delivery were essential to creating a responsive and business-friendly environment capable of attracting investment and supporting economic growth.
Mr Madjie also encouraged businesses to use established reporting channels to escalate cases of poor service delivery and ensure that public institutions honour their service commitments.
The 15th Ghana Economic Forum was held under the theme: “From Stabilisation to Scale: Mobilising Capital, Technology and Policy for Ghana’s Next Industrial Wave.”
