President John Dramani Mahama has warned ministers, chief executives, board members and other political appointees that indiscipline, poor performance and conduct that undermines government cohesion will not be tolerated.
The warning, issued through Secretary to the President Dr. Callistus Mahama, comes amid a broader reorganisation of the administration. The Presidency says recent ministerial changes, the dissolution of selected state boards and an impending reshuffle of Chief Executives are aimed at strengthening leadership, coordination and accountability.
The President expects appointees to perform their duties with integrity, diligence, humility and respect for established administrative procedures. Their performance across government will continue to be assessed, with further action expected where necessary.
The development follows Mahama’s decision to dissolve the governing boards of nine state institutions, including the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST), Volta Aluminium Company Limited (VALCO), the Consolidated Bank of Ghana Limited (CBG), Ghana Post, TDC Ghana and the National Sports Authority.
The Presidency has reminded appointees that public office is a privilege and an opportunity to serve Ghanaians, urging them to cooperate and remain focused on delivering the government’s mandate. Enditem
