Government did not pay for COVID-19 Tracker App – Ursula
The Communications and Digitisation
Minister-nominee, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful says
Ghana’s COVID-19 Tracker App was developed for
the country free of charge.

Speaking during her vetting, Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful
explained that some individuals volunteered to
develop the app for the country.

“Many countries, at the onset of the pandemic,
tried to use technology to assist them in
contact-tracing, and for people to self-report to
give an overview of what is happening in the
various countries to enable the health authorities
handle the situation.”

“Certain public-spirited individuals extended
all kinds of support to the government, and some
companies also offered to put their expertise at
the disposal of the government, which we gladly
accepted, resulting in the creation of the Tracker
app. The app didn’t cost the government a
pesewa. We did not pay anything for the app,”
she insisted.
