Nana Yaa Jantuah, a former Director of Public Relations and External Affairs at the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), has claimed that she did not understand the role of a Presidential Staffer when she was appointed by President John Mahama.
The former General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP) was appointed as part of a series of key appointments to the Office of the President, announced on January 21, 2025.
Speaking in an interview with Happy FM, Nana Yaa Jantuah stated that she was initially confused about the responsibilities of a Presidential Staffer, especially given the large number of individuals who served in that capacity under the previous Akufo-Addo administration. "When I heard the news of my appointment as a Presidential Staffer, I didn't understand.
I didn't know what the role entailed because, during former President Akufo-Addo's regime, there were many people appointed as Presidential Staffers, so I wasn't sure what the job involved.
