President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to replace acting Chief Executives of key state agencies has triggered backlash from the Minority.
They argue that the move weakens his authority and sends a negative signal to investors.
Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, warned that President Mahama should not be turned into a “lame duck” at the beginning of his administration.
He added “This decision doesn’t give a good signal to the investment community,” suggesting that the frequent changes could create uncertainty in governance.
However, Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga has defended the President’s actions, insisting that the appointments were never substantive.
“They have been asked to act, not to serve as substantive officials,” he explained. “When someone is appointed to act, it gives the President the liberty to realign leadership as needed, and that is exactly what is happening, and it is not out of the ordinary,” he stated.
