Acting Commissioner of the Rent Control Department, Frederick Opoku, has called for a thorough investigation into the department's digitisation programme, questioning the whereabouts of the $1.7 million allegedly invested in the project during the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Opoku expressed his concerns over the lack of visible progress or tangible results from the funds reportedly poured into the initiative.
Mr Opoku acknowledged the digitisation effort as a positive step but lamented the absence of substantial evidence of its impact, citing only four computers in the facility that he personally inspected. He further revealed that, according to department officials, the project was intended to be expanded with the inclusion of tablets and more computers, yet his attempts to secure these additional resources yielded no results.
"Heads must roll on this matter," Mr Opoku stated, emphasizing the need for accountability and the repercussions for those responsible for the mishandling of the funds and the lack of equipment. He underscored the Rent Control Department's urgent need for robust technological resources to efficiently serve its intended purpose and serve both tenants and landlords nationwide.
