Mahama needs a better team to succeed - KSM

Sapphire Productions CEO and Talk Show host, Kwaku Sintim-Misa, has made a damning assessment of the John Mahama-led administration saying he needs a better team to execute the "Better Ghana" agenda.

The popular stand-up comedian made the comments when he took his turn on STARR CHAT with host Nathaniel Kwabena Anokye Adisi popularly known as Bola Ray, on Starr 103.5 FM.

According to KSM, President Mahama - a “personal friend” - is a good man who aims to improve the livelihood of Ghanaians, but is being let down by the people around him.

“Basically I really think it could be better, I think President John Mahama who is my personal friend… I think he means well, but I think the team that is surrounding him is not 'bigging' him up.

“It is a big, big, big problem… that is how I see it… but John is a good person, he means well, but there should be strong, solid team behind him who can give him something to go and say. The president cannot do and know everything; somebody will have to tell him about energy,” KSM said Wednesday.

KSM also revealed that he is open to receiving a political appointment regardless of the party in power.

“I think so, depending on what the appointment is why not, [NDC, NPP, CPP] it doesn’t matter you know, I am almost retiring and they have missed their opportunity whoever it is,” a smiling KSM said.
