The director general of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) Dr. Kodjo Abrampa has bemoaned what he says is the high attrition rate at the commission.
According to him, conditions of service at the state institution makes it difficult to keep top notch performers.
“As a person contributing to National Development, you get assessed by your bosses and subordinates as well. I must say, there’s high rate of attrition at the NDPC,” he told Francis Abban on the morning Starr Monday.
He however noted in spite of the challenges faced by the commission, it is in constant planning of the future of the country.
“As a commission, we have the privilege of meeting the President from time to time. We have his ear often. A 40 year development plan is a perspective plan which looks at facts. There is a need for strategies to help achieve plans. In 2057, Ghana will be 100years and that is the basis for the 40 years development plan.
“The drive for a development plan is from all sectors – private, CSOs , politics parties etc. The Ghanaian dream today is to wake up in the morning and to have an enabling environment to do grow and develop. An environment where one wakes up with so many opportunities staring at him/her in the face”.
The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) was established under Articles 86 and 87 of the 1992 Constitution as part of the Executive. The National Development Planning Commission Act, 1994, (Act 479) and the National Development Planning (System) Act, 1994, (Act 480), provide the core legal framework for the establishment of the Commission and the performance of its functions.
