To help Ghana grow from the fiscal side you need monetary policy support. If the incoming government believes the current BoG board led by the Governor have different ideas that are not complementary to their policies to drive growth, then the President has every right to make that change. It is not a question being a Ghanaian, Fante, Ashanti, Dagomba, Ewe, Brong or Nzima. Please think ouside the box and stop these outdated foolish clichés.

Ghanaians voted for NPP knowing the governor is there and expect Nana to be able to perform far more than Mahama. Nana want it easy right? He wants his family to control Ghana right? Chief Justice-a relative, Ken Ofori Atta-a cousin, Gloria Akkufo- a family member, Gabby Okyere Darko-a cousin. If Nana is really good and Bawumia is really good, the presence of the BoG governer can't affect the economy in anyway. If they can't manage, resign!NPP nonsense wanting the easy way out.

Stop being stupid all over this forum: who has appointed any of the people you mentioned in Nana Akufo Addo's govt? If the Governor is relieved of his position, it will be the discretion of the new administration. The only person you can fight over that is your own self, in case you have no clue.

The President and his new govt reserve the rigt to get rid of the Governor, or maintain him, depending on a number of policy directions. People like you think everything is viewed by tribal and familial lense huh?

Stop posting nonsense and bring some commonsense to your arguments instead of positioning yourself in adverserial and disrespectful manner each time Nana Addo's or NPP issue comes up.

The forum name you've even assumed here speaks volume of your twisted mindset. If Nana Adoo looks like a chimp to you, then you probably needs a new set of desease-free eyes, because majority of Ghanaians who voted on December 07 2016 saw a descent human being and gave him their mandate. You sure don't have a better sight and intellect than majority of the electorate.

The current Chief Justice was appointed by former President Kuffour under the Constitution. Within the same era other Justices of the Supreme Court(SC) were appointed in Tsatsu's case. President Mahama has also appointed two justices of the SC, Electoral Commissioner and BoG Boss. The EC Boss conducted election and the NPP won though appointed by Mahama. Let's build strong institutions on rule of law rather than on partisan politics. Its too early to call for his resignation. I believe he himself will resign if the so-called ideological differences become very apparent.He shouldn't be forced to resign on basis of who appointed him.

That is the scenario we are talking about and not cthat he can perform. in any case a more qualified senior person was available for the position but he was pass bye so what do you say about that one too. It was because Government as at that time trust and see the Governor as an allied. This are all the good reasons that he must see wisdom and leave the seen befor e he is sacked. They have chopped workers second tier and nobody is talking. all workers in public service must rise up and demonstrate against the out going Government and question them for our money's.

Look at Ernest Thompson, he has almost finished the ssnit funds to the extent its gotten to a limit low such pensions is likely to collapse very soon and they will NPP has collapse SSNIT, Infact SSNIT BOSS must be investigate and be brought back to book.

If Kufour appointed the CJ and the NDC administration adhered to the provisions of the constitution, allowing her to serve without persecution and pressure to resign. the NPP must reciprocate this gesture...in any case, Nana cannot unilaterally remove him, neither can any member of the NPP.. We're tired of their constant foul cries.This country has a constitution and if they believe in the rule of law, they must allow institutions to work and things to take their legal course

It is very shameful that Akoto Osei, a whole MP, and an intellectual with PhD. and some professorial experience would make such an undemocratic comment for a Government-in-waiting that claims to be a champion of rule of law and Democracy. Politicians with such narrow-minded agenda are the reasons why we have been stuck in a spiral of kleptocracy and gross inept governance.

The way I see it, either Akoto Osei may be a bigot who hates to see a Northerner head the Bank of Ghana, as some have suggested, or is a nut-head ideologue with a vengeful heart. No decent Ghanaian hoping for a real reformation of the country should sit by to allow such arrogant, vicious discriminatory politics prevail in our country.

Would Akoto Osei repudiate the academic and professional qualifications of the Governor, or he simply believes the NPP should not allow any Official appointed by the NDC to keep his or her post in the Akufo-Addo Regime?

Unless the Akufo-Addo Government can prove the Governor performed his duties poorly, any attempt to push him out of his job would begin a quick slide into a quicksand for that regime.

This is the kind of witch-hunting that many feared with the prospect of Akufo-Addo ascending the Presidency. If the new Government resorts to such tactics to purge the Public Service of employees based solely on their partisan affiliations, and not on merit, the Nation could be thrown into a disarray the Akufo-Addo Mafia cannot contain.

The Governor must not resign voluntarily, even though the likes of Akoto Osei will not waste time to find fault with his work, should he stay on. They could make his life at the BoG a real hell. But he must not just simply drop out under such a pressure. In fact, he should not even let the threat of such people influence his work. He should stick to the bare principles that need to be applied to keep our Economy in the best shape possible.

Our Civil Servants must neither be made scapegoats or stooges of various Administrations.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Kwamena Thompson you are wrong. The Governor must resign. He was imposed by this corrupt MAhama NDC govt. and he must be retained? How do you think. Remember he jumped over the next in line to get this job. It was pure cronyism if not outright nepotism. This is a new start and any residuals of MAhama's corruption must be swept away. It is the only way that All the monies transferred to Dubai for Mahama and his selfish lot could be uncovered.

The question is what has the Governor been involved in prior to being appointed to the substantive position? He was the 2nd Dep.Governor of the BoG and going by the administrative structure of BoG, Millison Narh, after the resignation of good old Kofi Wampah forced out because he wasn't going to play ball, should have moved to the Governor's position, with Nashiru moving to the Presidency 1st and Asiamah to the 2nd.
So what happened?
Was his appointment political, because on what basis was he appointed over Narh?
He must be quite exceptional for that appointment to have been made, if not for other considerations.
And we are saying those other considerations are political and aligned with the out-going Mahama NDC gov't.
Nashiru's position as the Governor of BoG is therefore untenable and he must exit from the office.
It is the established norm and the precedence exists for Nashiru to step out of that office and it is not going to change. He must resign.
