Dr Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, a governance analyst and lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School, has stated that President should not be blamed for the appointment and subsequent revocation of Anne Sansa Daly, whose medical credentials have come under public scrutiny.
Speaking exclusively in an interview with GhanaWeb's Mandy Agyemang on June 1, 2025, Dr Otchere-Ankrah explained that although the president holds the appointing authority, the names of nominees are submitted to him by other individuals.
He added that those who put forward these nominations are expected to conduct thorough due diligence and background checks to verify the authenticity of the nominees' credentials before presenting them to the president for approval. "I have said somewhere on another platform that you can't blame the president.
How do you blame the president when these names are submitted by individuals, societies and by groups? "If the government wants to give an appointment to anybody, they will simply have to give the person's details to National Security, and they can do a thorough job.
