Headlines An international bank has warned President Mahama — Bright Simons reveals
FRI, 17 JAN 2025

Bright Simons, Vice President of the policy think tank IMANI-Africa, has revealed that an international bank has privately warned President John Mahama about an individual reportedly considered for a high-profile ministry.

The bank is said to be investigating this individual.

Simons urged the government to address all scandals—both potential and actual—with seriousness to preserve the “goodwill” it currently enjoys.

He emphasized the significant damage a financial scandal could inflict on President Mahama’s new administration, especially in light of the president’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative, which seeks to hold alleged corrupt former government officials accountable for misappropriated public funds.

As President Mahama’s government begins to take shape, he is actively naming ministers-designate for parliamentary vetting and approval.

Read below Bright Simons’ Thursday, January 16, 2025 post on X below:

Those who care about the reputation of the new Ghanaian government would be interested in knowing that an international bank has reached out confidentially to the office of the current President with a warning that an individual he intends to name to high ministerial office is the subject of adverse investigations.

And that the outcomes of these investigations may become public.

The President was thus being alerted about the potential distractions this individual's appointment may cause given that ORAL's credibility requires the government to maintain the moral high ground.

It is generally important that a Ghanaian government avoids a "chain of scandals". Scandals accumulate to sap goodwill.

We can't say more than this.
