President John Mahama is facing internal revolt in the National Democratic Congress following reports that Martin Ayisi will be maintained as Minerals Commission Boss. The Minerals Commission who was appointed by President Akufo-Addo was actively campaign for the NPP to be retained in the 2024 election but Mahama insiders also allege that Mr.
Ayisi gave some undisclosed support to the John Mahama campaign. This alleged support is said to the reason why John Mahama intends to maintain him as Minerals Commission Boss. Mahama who is said to be engaged in a "one-man show" appointment has reportedly sidelined National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia who would have insisted that Ayisi, a known NPP figure and a member of the party's 2017 transition team, is sacked with immediate effect. Under the watch of Ayisi, illegal mining has intensified, with illegal miners expanding their operations across officially designated mining sites. In the final days of the previous administration, Ayisi reportedly approved over 100 new mining licenses, a move that some experts argue was hasty and reckless. His tenure has also been linked to at least four major lawsuits inherited by the current government, with a potential liability of US$1.5 billion in judgment debts.
If these cases do not go in the government's favour, the economic repercussions could be severe. Notwithstanding the status of Martin Ayisi, President John Mahama appointed Emmanuel Kwamena Anyimah (Ellembele KK) as the new Deputy Chief Executive of the Minerals Commission of Ghana.
