U.S.-based Ghanaian journalist and host of With All Due Respect on Loud Silence TV, Kelvin Taylor, has launched a scathing attack on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over what he describes as the unjustifiable retention of former New Patriotic Party (NPP) appointees in strategic government roles.
In a recent broadcast, Taylor expressed deep frustration, accusing some within the NDC of deliberately keeping individuals aligned with the previous administration in office despite the clear rejection of the NPP in the 2024 general elections.
At the heart of Taylor’s criticism are three prominent women: Saratu Atta, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Banking and former Special Assistant to ex-President Nana Akufo-Addo; Delese Mimi Darko, CEO of the Food and Drugs Authority; and Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, CEO of the Ghana Airport Company Limited.
“These women were part of the failed Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration and were actively involved in Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign in the 2024 general elections,” Taylor claimed.
He argued that their continued presence in key roles undermines the NDC’s values and disrespects the party's loyal base.
“They do not align with the principles of the NDC, and their continued stay in office is an insult to the many capable NDC women who have sacrificed for the party.”
Taylor also accused certain NDC figures of lobbying to keep these officials in power, warning that such moves could erode the party’s credibility and alienate its support base.
In a direct message to President John Dramani Mahama, Taylor demanded the immediate dismissal of the three officials, setting a one-week ultimatum.
“I will release my arsenals on this government if these women are not removed,” he threatened.
“What is so special about them that they continue to hold on to power after their party has been voted out?”
Taylor’s remarks have reignited debate over political appointments, loyalty, and the responsibilities of the new administration to reflect the will of the electorate.

In today's article, I made it clear to President John Mahama that he has two choices. Either he leaves all Akufo-Addo's former empire of deceitful enemies in his government to sabotage his work, or sack all of them amid criticism, to run a successful government to sustain the economy. I am not a prophet, but any intelligent leader shouldn't underestimate what I write. Akufo-Addo did and paid for it dearly. What a coincidence! The host of Loud Silence TV, Kevin Taylor, is right. I wrote, "...
