Accra: A longstanding operative of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), James Agbey, has called on government appointees to remain committed to President John Dramani Mahama's agenda and avoid actions that could undermine his administration. Agbey, in a statement issued on Thursday, July 23, 2026, expressed encouragement by the President's efforts to deliver on his campaign promises, while also voicing concerns about the conduct of some appointees.
According to Ghana Web, Agbey noted that President Mahama's approach to governance had received positive feedback, highlighting the President's ability to make decisions and pursue policies aimed at addressing national challenges. Despite this, Agbey emphasized the need for vigilance against actions by public officials that could tarnish the government's image.
Agbey referenced a recent report by the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), which indicated strong public support for President Mahama. However, he cautioned that the actions of some public officials might negatively impact this perception. He pointed out that while some ministers and agency heads were receiving accolades, others were not aligning with the current governmental expectations.
In his statement, Agbey urged ministers, chief executives of state institutions, and other government officials to prioritize the interests of Ghanaians, supporting the President's initiatives to revitalize the economy and improve governance. He stressed the importance of public officials recognizing their responsibility to serve citizens and reinforcing the administration's broader objectives.
Agbey concluded by asserting that appointees must consistently serve the President's interests, sending a clear warning to those failing to contribute positively to the administration's success.
