, the newly appointed Chief of Staff has provided insights into the key criteria for appointments to the government.

Speaking in an interview with Channel One on Tuesday, January 7, 2025 moments before the swearing-in ceremony, Debrah emphasised that competency, expertise in delivering positive results, and the ability to diligently execute their mandate are the key factors for major appointments.

Debrah dismissed claims that the appointments made so far by the incoming President have been based solely on loyalty. "I don't think John Mahama is necessarily going to make his appointments based on people who supposedly are loyal to him.

I think the first and foremost thing he will be looking for will be competency and one's ability to work," he said.
