, the former Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency, has stirred debate over the designation of "Chief of Staff" within President John Mahama's new administration.
In an exclusive interview on Abusua965FM, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu critiqued the nomenclature, suggesting it deviates from established norms and creates potential ambiguities. "I think it's a mistake in terms of nomenclature," Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stated plainly during the interview with Kojo Marfo on AbusuaNkommo at Abusua965FM.
He elaborated on his concern, emphasizing the conventional understanding of the role. "Everywhere, a Chief of Staff is designated as such for the Presidency, not for the President personally.
The Chief of Staff serves the Presidency, which includes the Office of the Vice President." He argued that having a Chief of Staff solely for the President, alongside another for the Vice President, creates confusion regarding seniority and overall responsibility.
