Published On: 17.09.24 By: The Star
PAPAR: The performance of 156 local authorities in the country will be evaluated using a performance-based “traffic light” grading system starting next year.
Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, who disclosed this, said the move was aimed at enhancing the quality of public services among local authorities countrywide.
He said said the ministry wanted to ensure that every expenditure was justified based on Return on Investment (ROI) and cost benefit analysis.
“All 156 local authorities will be required to adhere to specific SOP, including feasibility studies to prevent inefficient projects and ensure cost-benefit analyses and optimise expenses,” he said in a statement after his 31st Sentuhan Kasih Programme held here yesterday.
Under the “traffic light” grading system, local authorities will be categorised as green, yellow and red.
