BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE( PAC)
Rethinking Political Appointments and Meritocracy in Ghana

I was born and educated in Ghana, but I now live and work in the United Kingdom. Over the years, I have often compared the political landscape in Ghana with that of the UK. Initially, I believed that Ghanaian politicians lacked the depth of political education and institutional understanding that their UK counterparts demonstrated.

However, my perception began to change after closely following the proceedings of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). While the live televised sessions were, at times, chaotic and revealing, they also exposed the reality of Ghana’s governance system—why progress has been slow and why accountability remains a challenge.

One critical question continues to trouble me: must everything in Ghana be politicized?

Across the nation, far too many key public positions—District Chief Executives (DCEs), Municipal Chief Executives (MCEs), and even auditors—are filled based on political loyalty rather than competence or qualification. This practice undermines the professionalism of our institutions and erodes public trust. When appointments are driven by partisanship instead of merit, inefficiency becomes inevitable, and development suffers.

Ghana has no shortage of intelligent, capable, and dedicated professionals. Yet, our system often sidelines them in favor of those who are “politically correct.” The result is a governance structure that struggles to deliver—not because we lack talent, but because we fail to use the right people for the right jobs.

If we are truly committed to national development, we must embrace meritocracy, accountability, and integrity as the foundations of public service. Political parties should see competence as an asset—not a threat. Only by valuing skill and experience over party loyalty can Ghana unlock its true potential and move toward the development we all desire.

It is time we put Ghana first, above politics.
Let us demand better leadership, merit-based governance, and a public service that rewards competence—not connections.

These days women have become more dangerous than DDT poison. Sometimes you cannot even trust your wife. How can you plan to kill people for a useless thing like being a chief.

Re: Freddy G. Your observations are apt and yet they miss a critical historical nuance that you may not be aware of. This syndrome of over-politicisation of national affairs is not by accident. It is a veiled attempt to indefinitely WEAPONIZE democracy to defraud the people and deprive them of the benefits of same. Those who held power for the last 8 years in the previous administration and their antecedents are only democrats in name but their stated objective is to hold the nation and the our collective destiny ransom for private gain. Surely such an atrocious philosophy will meet with an equal pushback of venomous proportions from all right-thinking citizens. What you have described, while it seems troubling, is a necessary, protective measure to provide sanity and stabilization to build a new foundation for real and measurable national development. When we can assure a ourselves that the evil of the past has been sufficiently cauterized, the structures of state will automatically revert to strict "meritocracy" in acknowledgement of our new maturity. Until then, and in reaction to the destructive baying at the heels of true patriotism by decided anti-republican actors who care nothing for collective progress, you will continue to see this in our body politic. Thank you.
