The Obuasi East District Assembly has been adjudged the best performing Assembly in the Ashanti Region in the 2022 National Rankings of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
The Assembly also placed fourth in the Annual Performance Evaluation Report across the country after scoring 91.63 per cent.
It was rated excellent in key performance areas such as general administration, human resource management, financial management reporting and infrastructure, as well as social services, economic development, environment and sanitation.
The 261 MMDAs in the country at the beginning of every year sign performance contracts with the Regional Coordinating Councils to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of service delivery to encourage competition amongst them.
Madam Faustina Amissah, the District Chief Executive, Obuasi East, expressed appreciation to the management, Assembly members and staff for working assiduously to achieve the feat.
She encouraged all stakeholders to double their efforts to enable the Assembly to perform better in subsequent rankings.
The District Coordinating Director, Mr Eric Aboagye-Mensah, also praised management and staff of the Assembly for their dedication to duty and hard work to get to the current position.
He said they would continue to put in extra efforts to maintain the position in this year’s rankings.
The Obuasi East District was carved out of the Obuasi Municipal Assembly in 2017 by Legislative Instrument (LI) 2332 as one of the 38 newly created districts.
