Perhaps a starting point is to change the rules, so that a president is only allowed to appoint ministers and a small circle of advisors.

@Adofo when Akufo Addo was issuing mining licences like confetti, his primary purpose was for restoration of our forests and desilting of our rivers.
Nobody gives a damn about your opinion, but it is worth making you look like a fool that you have always been by showing you raw fact and Data.

Key Findings and ConflictsRepository Data (2016–2024): According to the Ghana Mining Repository as reported in late 2024, approximately 1,696 mining licenses were issued over the past eight years (2016–2024), a 2,800% increase compared to the 57 issued between 1995-2016.Small-Scale Focus: The NPP government was criticized for issuing 1,503 to over 2,000 gold mining licenses from 2017 to 2024, which critics claim contributed to environmental degradation

Data overwhelmingly shows that the volume of issued mining licenses increased dramatically under the NPP government (2017–2024) compared to the preceding NDC era (2000-2016).
