CEOs refusing to resign: Next time don’t appoint people who had nothing to do with the struggle—Afia Akoto to political elites

Former Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Afia Akoto has urged political parties in Ghana to learn lessons with their appointments when they come to power.

She says most of the time, people who are appointed are not part of the power struggle but just because they know people who were part of the struggle.

These people tend to benefit immensely from the political party when those who struggle do not have access to anything when there is power.

Her post shared via social media read, “I am so embarrassed by the attitude of some former CEOs refusing to vacate their offices and allowing themselves to be the subject of discussions this week. It is difficult to say this because one of them I personally know.

And I can’t get the reason behind this dragging. But respectfully, next time when appointing people into office, let’s be sure they personally contributed to the struggles of the party and not because they have relatives that contributed to it. Some never shouted kukurudu nor 3ye zu but feel entitled to act in both administrations.

This bad attitude from some appointees is something only the gods of our land can understand. I always say fear the silent ones in this game call politics and not those of us who are open about issues. These are the people NDCs foot soldiers never dragged in the gutters, nor NPP foot soldiers benefited from, yet feel more entitled than those of us who have been battered and beaten virtually on social media by our opponents and even supported our base from our own resources. Dear NDC 5000 men and 3000 women. This job should be easier for you. Or you say I should gellaway,” she said.
