An international bank has reached out confidentially to the office of President John Dramani Mahama with a warning that an individual he intends to name to high ministerial office is the subject of adverse investigations, the Vice President of IMANI Ghana, Bright Simons, has alleged.
“And that the outcomes of these investigations may become public. The President was thus being alerted about the potential distractions this individual’s appointment may cause given that ORAL’s credibility requires the government to maintain the moral high ground,” Mr Simons added in a post on X on Thursday (Jan 16, 2025).
Mr Simons argued that the new government cannot afford a chain of scandals that sap goodwill and urged the President to carefully consider the potential fallout.
“Those who care about the reputation of the new Ghanaian government would be interested in knowing that an international bank has reached out confidentially to the office of the current President with a warning that an individual he intends to name to high ministerial office is the subject of adverse investigations. And that the outcomes of these investigations may become public. The President was thus being alerted about the potential distractions this individual’s appointment may cause given that ORAL’s credibility requires the government to maintain the moral high ground. It is generally important that a Ghanaian government avoids a “chain of scandals”. Scandals accumulate to sap goodwill. We can’t say more than this,” he stated.
