Media personality and political commentator Omanhene Kwabena Asante has alleged that several appointees of President John Dramani Mahama are secretly failing the administration, warning that the situation mirrors what he believes happened during the tenure of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM on Tuesday, April 7, Asante expressed concern that some government officials are not fully committed to the vision and leadership of the president.
According to him, while President Mahama may have strong intentions and policies, the effectiveness of his administration could be undermined by individuals within the government who are either underperforming or not executing their duties with the required dedication.
“As we saw in the previous administration, sometimes the president may have good plans, but the people around him fail to deliver,” Asante noted during the discussion. “Most of President Mahama’s appointees are secretly failing him just like they did to former President Akufo-Addo.”
He argued that such internal weaknesses within government structures can negatively affect policy implementation and public confidence in leadership. Asante stressed that the success of any administration depends not only on the president’s leadership but also on the competence and loyalty of those appointed to carry out government programmes.

The seasoned commentator therefore urged the president to closely monitor the performance of his appointees and hold them accountable where necessary. He suggested that decisive action against non-performing officials would help ensure that government policies translate into tangible results for citizens.
Asante’s remarks come at a time when discussions about governance, accountability, and performance within public institutions remain a key topic in Ghana’s political landscape.
His comments are likely to reignite debate about performance within the executive branch and the role of political appointees in driving national development.
