A new book by investigative journalist , titled The President Ghana Never Got, alleges that the Chief of Staff's office at Jubilee House has been funneling money to 's Appointment Committee to expedite the approval of ministerial nominees. The book claims this practice of financial inducement has been ongoing across multiple administrations, dating back to the presidency of John Evans Atta Mills. Manasseh alleges that the Chief of Staff periodically sent money to Appointment Committee members during the vetting process. The book provides an example from 2017, where Mahama Ayariga and other National Democratic Congress (NDC) members alleged that Boakye Agyarko, a then-ministerial nominee, had attempted to bribe the Appointment Committee. These allegations were denied by committee members, with Muntaka Mubarak, a key figure on the committee, dismissing the claims.
