Which One Do You Prefer, Kofi Jumah, Resignation, Or Mahama's Fire?

Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the managing director of the distilleries owned by Ghana Industrial Holding Company (GIHOC), will celebrate his 75th birthday on June 26, 2025. The man whose son is currently married to one of the daughters of ex-president Akufo Addo has long been a topic of discussion in Ghanaian media. Still, now that a new government has taken office, it is time to question Kofi Jumah: why is he still the managing director at GIHOC at the age of 74 if Ghana's retirement age is 60?

Kofi Jumah’s father-in-law, Akufo Addo, made several promises to Ghanaians throughout his campaign tour before winning the presidency. He pledged not to promote friends and family in his administration, further opposing nepotism. However, among other failed pledges, the ex-president placed his friends and close family members in important positions. It is alleged that 51 family members and friends, including former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, were appointed by Akufo Addo.

One of the founders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nayho-Nyaho Tamakloe, claimed that Akufo Addo is among the most lawless people he had ever encountered. Is he correct? It is true that many elders have wisdom; however, Akufo Addo lacks knowledge despite his old age. In addition to being crafty, lawless, dishonest, and conceited, the ex-president has a history of dictatorship and violent tendencies and disregards Ghana's Constitution, forcing his will on the populace.

Ghanaians should question Akufo Addo why Kofi Jumah, who will be 75 soon, is still the Managing Director of GIHOC, despite the fact that he forced the former Auditor General to retire, saying that he must go on compulsory retirement at age sixty. The former president's acts make clear his evil schemes to compel Mr. Domelevo to retire. Akufo Addo, who was connected to some of the biggest corruption cases, was worried that the former auditor general would investigate his corruptible activities.

Akufo Addo misused his position and authority by appointing several of his friends and family members and giving his daughters state contracts at the expense of Ghanaians, all the while ignoring the people he tricked into granting him the authority to serve them more effectively than John Mahama. I need to know if Kofi Jumah will be sensible enough to step down or wait to be humiliated by Mahama now that the table has turned and the NPP is facing its greatest setback in Ghanaian politics

In response to a concern about the high cost of GIHOC products, Maxwell Kofi Jumah urged Ghanaians in an interview that people who cannot afford the higher cost of alcohol can drink water instead. When Ghanaians decided to protest against illegal mining, also known as galamsey, Mr. Jumah threatened to "sack GIHOC workers if they join strike action over" because he is not interested in addressing the problems of illegal mining, since the demonstration was against his father-in-law.

With the recent election of a new government, Ghana's political landscape has dramatically changed. A group called the "ORAL team" is tasked with looking into corruption cases, bringing charges against all implicated politicians. However, I'm not the one to decide if Kofi Jumah must continue serving as the director of GIHOC, but if he is a sensible individual, he should submit his resignation letter before experiencing the biggest humiliation possible, being fired by John Mahama.

The question, "Resignation or Mahama's fire," is not limited to Kofi Jumah; it also applies to all NPP politicians, including Paul Adom-Otchere, occupying higher positions in the nation, who have misused their power and position.
