Governance Analyst Breaks Down Prez Mahama’s Controversial Awards Directive

President John Dramani Mahama has directed all Ministers of State, Chief Executive Officers of state institutions, and other political appointees to refrain from participating in or accepting awards from private organisations without prior authorisation from the Office of the President.
The directive has sparked national debate about the credibility, timing, and purpose of awards given to public officials by private organisations.
In this analysis, we examine the implications of the directive and speak with Professor Baffour Agyeman, a Governance Analyst, who argues that public officials—whether elected or appointed—cannot legitimately claim performance awards while still in active service.
According to him, since most appointees are only partway through their four-year mandate, it is premature for them to be recognized as “best performing” or “most outstanding,” as their full record of service is yet to be completed.
