The Deputy Minority Leader in , , has accused President of neglecting the southern parts of the country in the appointments of Chief Executive Officers for the various state-owned institutions in the country.
According to the Deputy Minority Leader, who is also the Member of (MP) for Asokwa, the president has filled a majority of chief executive positions with people from the northern parts of the country, which, according to her, is wrong.
She added that the president's action violates the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, which provides for regional balance in appointments to such positions, and sets a dangerous precedent. "One of the reasons I'm sad is that a vast majority of people who have been chosen to be chief executives are from the north.
It is even more astonishing if you look at the Ashanti Region. "Even the recent district assembly appointees they brought had the majority of them being from the north… This is very dangerous because it was the whole of Ghana that voted, and the law of Ghana, which is the constitution, states that appointments should be done in a way that ensures balance (regional balance)," she said in the Twi dialect during an interview on Angel TV, on May 15, 2025.
