These stupid political appointments should stop. Competence should come before political affiliation. We can not put incompetent people in sensitive positions. The black man should learn to do the right thing. Away with sycophancy and favoritism and let's embrace professionalism.

Most Politicians in Ghana are either corrupt, ignorant or a thief and that is why they do not think about abolishing the practice of Political Appointments. If I was in Ghana, I would make sure that either Parliament start passing laws to abolish political appointments or most of the MP's would no more win to enter that parliament of disappointments in the progress of Ghana by failing to abolish the practice of "POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS" which is the real root of failure, poverty and slow progress in the life time of Ghana after over 32 years democracy which has created poverty and slavery to scatter millions intelligent Ghanaians all over the world to work like slaves with no hope but at the same time sending money home to support society ruled by leaders most of whom are criminals, thieves, corrupt, ignorant or incompetent with no progress by recycling of poverty from swings of political parties. What kind of life or society we all came from?

The only thing, I can hate in my life is intentional; indiscipline, corruption, wickedness, thefts, abuses, deception, lies and manipulations by acts of selfishness or greed that ruin the lives of other innocent people. I cannot stand such demonically evil mindset, especially, when it comes from people who considers themselves as leaders, like most politicians of Ghana.

This is the #1 clear solution to most of the problems in Ghana: Pass laws in parliament to; (1) abolish practicing "POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS" in government! (2) ensure that henceforth, all top officials in Government at every sector will be elected by votes. It will truly solve problems and surely propel Ghana to develop very fast.

All "POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS" must be abolished, not only those in SOE. The IMF itself appears to be the mastermind behind the corruption in the politics of Ghana to retain most Ghanaians as slaves. All top positions in Government must be elected with votes; IGP, CJ, EC, OSP, AG, Ministers, Directors, CEOs and all heads of public institutions. The conspiracies of manipulations by foreign intelligence must stop to avoid corruption in the politics of Ghana which is making most Ghanaians automatically born to be corrupt in their minds for being raised in a corrupt society to grow with the syndrome of corruption that cannot leave their blood. The IMF appears to a problem and the only way to avoid it is to take a bold step in parliament to fully abolish all practices of political appointments, not only in the SOE. Government belongs to everyone born in Ghana and not only politicians. If I were in Ghana right now, I would spend almost all my time to preach and educate the poor masses, even if I would be described as a mad man by some foolish hypocrites, who call themselves national security without solving problems but only using power and control to enrich themselves by thefts, corruption, bribery and scandals called "loot and share" that risk the lives of the ordinary Ghanaians with poverty and struggles to die faster rather to live and enjoy the years God gave them. It is just wicked and cruel, so I cannot stand these nonsenses in Ghana, Africa and poor nations.

This IMF country team should stop the nonsense in Ghana.

Indeed the IMF has a mandate to scrutinize the economic consequences and governance quality of SOE appointments, but not a general mandate to police the political character of a country's appointments as long as it is merit based with political inclination. Does IMF expect Republican president in the USA to appoint extreme liberal democrat with a mindset to loot (like NPP) as a board member of a SOE in the USA? No.

I agree 100% with the IMF on this particular issue. our boards are made up of MPs and party members. The appointment of Boards and CEO by the president should stop. We have to find a way of making these appointments devoid of politics but rather search for competent people to man the SOE, alternatively privatize the SOEs. Ghana Government is very incompetent in running businesses, where is Ghana Airways, Meat Marketing Board and Ghana Food Distribution etc. today?

Gyampo, the sexual predator is now head of a government agency, and what exactly will happen? Look at West Africa, and the time we had our independence, but due to our dirty politics into everything, we are still lagging behind in so many ways.

It is only in Ghana that a foolish man like John Mahama will be elected to be president and when in the history of humanity did a fool do anything to have positive impact on society?

The man is so clueless that those around him are using him like a hand towel.

Clearly,it's a part of Ghana's inability to progress thru the ages,to be a more prosperous Country than it is at the moment when you have dud appointments to friends or relative's in positions of importance.......One day,who knows when? This nepotism will end ,and have smart people doing smart jobs ,for the better of good to the Country.

The IMF is right. There are too many square pegs in round holes, political interferences and manipulations all over the SOEs. Appointments and recruitments to SOEs should be handled professionally by the Public Services Commission (PSC) or by seasoned Recruitment Agencies through public advertisements of vacancies. The Presidency/Political Party Headquarters’ are NOT Recruitment Agencies. Their appointments, interferences and manipulations have always been the bane of the SOEs.

The IMF's assertion is true; however, the problem did not start with the NDC government. All Governments in the 4th Republic are guilty. The painful thing is that they appoint people to the Board who are not even qualified to be supervisors in the very companies they are supposed to direct. The constitution should be amended to require some level of transparency in appointing MDs and Board members.

IMF with keen eyes had observed what Ghanaians are watching. There was a period NDC had prominent members and names. All such names are never mentioned now. Reason unknown. One which had created enough anger within municipalities, etc. is their heads, yet more are watching. The constituencies are quiet watching. More with command could do better instead experiments is the current procedure. Little said is enough.
