Well, Mahama should not be copying the Patapaa Nana Addo and week to reset Ghana to the best we had.

I would rather keep my profession and growth higher than take a job for only 4 years and get kicked out.

Mr. Kofi Bentil, and other Professionals who are not party members of NDC, NPP, CPP and of course the other political parties should kindly keep their intellectual thoughts and suggestions to themselves else they consistently make disparaging remarks that subtracts value from from their intellectual arsenals provided they have some. My reason for appealing to our professionals who are not party members of any political party is that, you can't instruct President John Dramani Mahama that SOEs "must be disbanded" on what audacity do you make such profound order as in you are who exactly? You professionals should sit down and work at your own level and leave politics for politicians. You can make contributions if the politicians call for stakeholders as in the general public there and then you can put your suggestions across for possible consideration but not command the President to adhere to your orders if I may. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to make it clear that every political party in this country has professionals who work for the betterment of Ghana and this is enshrined in their party manifestoes with which they use to sell their ideas,policies and social contract they would want to achieve if voted into government. In this regard ladies and gentlemen, why would some people think that the Professionals who compiled, drafted, marketed and implemented their manifesto all of the sudden those professionals should be sidelined and abounded for people who don't share the dreams and aspirations of the party members and even more worse you expect President John Dramani Mahama should give positions to people who did not campaign for him in any form and shape? I want to appeal to President John Dramani Mahama to appoint 90% of his appointees from the party because they deserve to properly work hard to ensure that the NDC party manifesto that Ghanaians relied on to him gargantuan votes are fully implemented according to their collective contribution both intellectually, physically emotionally and financially.
Moreover ladies and gentlemen it is only the party members who are capable to occupy the positions in government to champion the needs and wants of Ghanaians because the strength is their party manifesto and the manifesto is for the NDC party members but not professionals outside the party. I want all Ghanaians to know that there is no better professional than your own party professionals because it is the Professionals who win power for the Presidential candidate and he the elected President should not hire professionals outside the party else the party will loose valuable expertise over time. Mr. Kofi Bentil you savvy?Peace to you!

I share the frustrations with the way and manner SOEs are being managed and treated. These are entities of the Republic and by extension belong to all Ghanaians. CSOs should work with government to develop a law that ensures that recruitment into all SOEs is meritorious, their salaries and compensation reflective of the board public sector salaries, and not ostentatious, and their accountabilities and performance clear. These political patronages that we are seeing and which is deepening would be most harmful to Ghana in the long term unless we act now to correct it. Fortunately, President Mahama has the goodwill and parliamentary majority to carry through a legislative agenda on this matter.

I wonder if this is what Mahama reset is all about. Continuing the status quo of madness, incompetence and Sloganeering. From zero tolerance for corruption to protecting the public purse and now reset. All be settings. How can the reset president put party square pegs into round holes and expect deliverables. Once incompetent always incompetent.

KOFI Bentil-you are a dishonest person. ALL DIE BE DIE AND HIS COUSIN-KEN Ofori Atta bankrupted Ghana economy-that is why we defaulted on our Loans and other international obligations and we went to the IMF/World Bank. Stop the Loot-DONT BE PART OF THE LOOTERS PARTY-NPP. Hell On earth. ALL DIE BE DIE Akyem Mafia Akkuffo Addo-the Traitor. Akuffo Addo is the first President in Ghana to GET the full OIL oney after the Court of Law of the Sea Arbitration judgement in 2017. You are an ARROGANT PERSON. How can you disrespect the people WHO GAVE YOU THE POWER? THE VOTERS VOTED FOR YOU BUT YOU AND THE ARROGANT NPP AKYEM MAFIA DISRESPECTED THOSE WHO GAVE YOU POWER. You are a fool. In 1957, did Ghana have oil money? In 1964, J B Danquah was caught conniving with the CIA to overthrow our democracy. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was elected through democracy, J B Danquah stood for elections in 1954 at Akyem Abuakwa for UGCC, but his nephew who was a CPP won the Akyem Abuakwa Seat as an MP. Because of jealousy and unpatriotic Akyem Mafia, took bribes, plotted with the CIA to betray Mother Ghana. Do not BLAME the SAINT DR KWAME NKRUMAH- He NEVER built a house or one room for himself. He was SELFLESS LEADER. If Africa DO NOT UNITE-there we are being told to become GAY before we receive any loans. Akuffo Addo and Ken Ofori Atta borrowed over £13 billion and looted, looted everything-hen we had to go to the IMF/World Bank because we defaulted on our loans and interest payments. Akuffo Addo put his family and cousin first before the National Interest in 2022. 98 NPP MPs went to see him to ask him to remove Ken Ofori Atta but he refused to see his Party MPs. Akuffo Addo is a DICTATOR-I blame MY PEOPLE-Ashantis. ASHANTIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE VOTED FOR THE AKYEM MAFIA TRAITORS.
What Development Partners? Are you real Mr FOOLISH FANTI MAN OR NZIMA MAN? Let me explain to your illiterate mind WHAT BEING GAY WILL BRING TO GHANA AND THE COSTS. The WHITEMAN WANT TO USE BLACK PEOPLE. GAY SEX BROUGHT HIV/AIDS TO THE WORLD. SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET IN RETURN FOR BEING GAY? WE WILL GET HIV/AIDS. AND WHERE ARE THE HOSPITALS AND MEDICINES TO TREAT US? THE COST OF TREATING HIV/AIDS AND THE SOCIAL AND GENERATIONAL COSTS FAR OUTWEIGH ANY BENEFITS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU ARE A SHORT-TERM FANTI MAN. IN THE LONG TERM, GHANA WILL SUFFER IMMENSELY. THERE IS NO BENEFIT FOR BEING GAY. The white man sees black people as fools and followers of their STUPID culture. Have whites asked India or China to be GAY? My fellow black people-let us unite and feed ourselves. We should grow our own rice and tomatoes. The white man gives a loan and use another hand to take the borrowed money back through technical advice or assistance. We end up paying for the huge loans, interests plus the white man mortgages in the USA or UK

Mr. Achie it is not about criticism in a vacuum but constructive criticism. You should encourage decorum in your personal and professional comprehensive analysis of issues of national development. There is no forensic accounting and empirical evidence that suggests that one becomes incompetent when he or she is given a Political position. What competence did Ghanians see in the politicians when they were campaigning for power and when you vote them into government then all of a sudden they are not competent to run affairs of the country? In fact, 90% appointments should go to party faithfuls and 10% should go to the rest of the national because the collective responsibility is in the hands of the political party if they fail the national will blame the party and they loose power this common sense it is not rocket science for anyone to find difficult to understand. I want to humbly entreat all of us to stop embarrassing ourselves before the politicians else we will become a laughing stock. The politicians are all professionals at various levels and if they win power after using brains and financial resources of their Professionals then you dictate to them to disband state boards just because you don't want them to use their party faithfuls. Please all Ghanaians should kindly reflect on every comments we make to politicians it is becoming too insulting if I may. Peace to you.

I agree with Kofi Bentil. Much as party faithfuls must be rewarded it must be based on competence and experience. A mixture/blend of neutral and party members will go a long way to have an impact on the SOEs.
