My appointments are based on merit, competence – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has committed to emphasizing the contributions and talents of individuals from the Volta Region in his government's appointments, stating that the selection process will prioritize merit, competence, and regional representation.

This promise follows the vandalism incident at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) office in Ho, where some individuals expressed frustration over the perceived exclusion of a Ho Central indigenous candidate from the President's recent ministerial selections.

During his visit to Ho as part of his “Thank You” tour, President Mahama addressed the expectations for appointments in the Volta Region, reassuring locals of their inclusion. "I understand the anticipation for appointments from this area, and I want to assure you that your contributions and talents have not been ignored," he stated.

He emphasized that the appointment process would adhere to important principles, saying, “Appointments will be determined by merit, competence, regional balance, gender equity, and willingness to serve.”

Reaffirming his dedication to the region, the President assured residents that the Volta Region would not be overlooked in terms of appointments or development initiatives. “I believe the people of the Volta Region have the resources and determination to play crucial roles in shaping the future of our nation. This region has often faced unfulfilled promises, but I assure you that this cycle of neglect will end with our administration,” he declared.
