The government has constituted a monitoring team to check the conduct of Ministers of State to ensure that they live modest lives and deliver as expected, state daily, 'The Evening News' writes.

This is in addition to the formulation of a code of conduct to guide their operations.

Mr Mogtari Sahanun, Upper West Regional Minister revealed this at separate meetings with chiefs of the Sissala area and staff of the District assembly.

The Minister did not mention the composition of the monitoring team but said the measure was part of stringent efforts by the government to keep ministers of state on track at all times. He said that the situation, therefore, requires that ministers should be hard working and very strict in their supervisory roles of government business and called on workers to be more pro- active towards the discharge of their duties.

The Regional Minister called for the re-introduction of attendance registers and movement books at the work places to keep track of workers' punctuality and movement to be able to assess their performances.
