Lydia Lamisi Akanvariba, the Minister of State-designate for Public Sector Reforms, has pledged to enhance the digital platforms established under Akufo-Addo’s administration within the public sector.
She pledged to utilize these technological platforms to promote accountability and transform public sector operations.
Among the key initiatives she plans to strengthen are the Ghana.GOV platform, the Ghana Revenue Authority payment system and the Paperless Port system.
Speaking during her vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Monday, February 24, Madam Lydia Akanvariba promised, “I do believe digitalisation is the way to go. Some work has been done on the Ghana Integrated Financial Management Information System, and the current payment system, but that is not enough.
“I’m here to strengthen what has started already. I’m here to strengthen all the digital platforms. You know there are offices or departments for example – Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, they don’t even have enough computers. They don’t have workable computers that you can just transfer from one file to the other. It’s my responsibility to continue from where you [Akufo-Addo’s administration] started and make the public sector efficient, modern and robust.”
