Chief of Staff announces Presidential Delivery Unit to track government commitments

Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff, announced the activation of a Presidential Delivery Unit (PDU) at the Presidency to tighten executive oversight of government promises. Addressing a town hall meeting in Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital, Mr. Debrah revealed that the unit has been established to serve as the government's internal compliance engine. Its primary mandate is to perform rigorous monthly reviews of all presidential commitments, tracking every project and promise from inception to completion.

The Chief of Staff emphasized that the PDU is a functional audit tool designed to ensure that the resetting of key economic sectors remains on schedule. The unit will generate monthly performance reports that evaluate whether ministries and departments are hitting their marks. Mr. Debrah said, "At the presidency, there is an office called the Presidential Delivery Unit, and I have to ensure that every month I look at the report to see if the president was able to meet all the targets." He also noted that his role is to align every government appointee's output with the strategic vision of President John Dramani Mahama, stating, "My duty is to ensure that every appointee under the government will work according to the wishes of the president."

Teams from the PDU will soon be deployed across the country to interface with traditional and opinion leaders. This grass-roots engagement strategy is intended to verify whether the reports submitted by appointees in the regions match the reality on the ground. The Chief of Staff told gathered chiefs and residents, "Soon some persons from the presidency will come to you, the traditional leaders, to enquire of you the progress of the appointees within your jurisdiction."
