Nana Kweku Oforia Atta, a security expert and commentator, has advised John Mahama, the president-elect, to think about including leading technocrats in his unformed government.

He asserted that this would significantly contribute to the development of realistic and achievable economic policies, their implementation, and efficient administration in order to transform the nation's economy.

Nana Ofori Atta congratulated the president-elect in a statement, saying that Mr. Mahama needs to get started right away with seasoned technocrats who can help him fast reset the nation.

Ofori Atta asserts that in order to provide Ghanaians with an efficient government that would alleviate their suffering, Mr. Mahama's administration must use the experience of technocrats to make unbiased judgments that include creative solutions.

"The fact that Ghanaians voted for you in particular and your party in general shows that they view you as their next hope for comprehensive policies that will strengthen the nation's economy," he remarked. I have faith that, with your level of experience, you will make sure that the people won't regret having you back as their leader. More importantly, though, you will live up to your words by keeping all of your commitments. "I said," he said.

In order to effectively run the nation and increase the government's relevance to the populace, Nana Ofori Atta believes that governments need to learn to put square pegs where they belong and round pegs in round holes. "Your Excellency, your party gained additional seats in parliament to form the majority, making your win even more remarkable and illuminating. One thing that sticks out among all of these is the faith that people have placed in you.

Due to the present government's persistent determination to bring you back, many people are having a very difficult time. Even though the task may be unpleasant, you must continue to be fair and forceful in order to give the people the change they voted for. "I said," he said.

Following this, he stated that in order to achieve economic stability, Mr. Mahama's successor government needs to strike a balance between nominated officials and technocrats for productive cooperation. He emphasized that this would support the country's democratic credentials and preserve Ghana's multiparty democracy by assisting the populace in maintaining their faith in politicians.
