Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Musah Dankwah, has clarified that the firm’s latest parliamentary performance ratings are based on the views of constituents rather than any technical assessment of Members of Parliament.
Speaking on Gold Morning Conversation, Mr. Dankwah explained that the survey covered 83 constituencies, which were selected through a computer-generated random sampling process.
“Wherever the machine picks, that’s where we go,” he said, stressing that the selection of constituencies was entirely random.
Addressing concerns about the survey’s findings, Mr. Dankwah noted that the two highest-rated MPs were members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), while the two lowest-rated MPs were also from the NPP, underscoring that the exercise was driven solely by respondents’ opinions.
He also dismissed suggestions that Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka, ranked among the two lowest-performing MPs.
According to him, respondents in Mr. Amoah’s constituency rated his performance as 5 per cent Excellent, 18 per cent Very Good and 77 per cent Average.
“If we ranked by ‘Average’, he would be on top,” Mr. Dankwah remarked.
Responding to criticism of the survey, he maintained that public feedback should be viewed as constructive rather than confrontational.
“Every feedback is useful. It helps you see issues in your constituency,” he said.
