Sammy Gyamfi missing as alleged Mahama’s Ministerial Appointments hit online
Ghanaian radio station, Okay FM, has sparked nationwide discussions by releasing an alleged list of possible appointments under John Dramani Mahama’s government, should he assume office. This revelation, which includes roles at the presidency, ministries, and deputy ministerial positions, has become a hot topic, especially among National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters.
The list, while unofficial, offers a glimpse into what could be Mahama’s government structure. Notably, it excludes Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC’s fiery Communications Officer, raising eyebrows and fueling debates about his potential role in Mahama’s administration.
Key Presidency Appointments
The alleged appointments suggest a mix of seasoned professionals and party loyalists to lead the presidency. Some prominent names include:
Chief of Staff: Hon. Julius Debrah
Executive Secretary to the President: Dr. Callistus Mahama
Communications Director at the Flagstaff House: Hon. James Agyenim Boateng
Senior Presidential Advisor on Finance: Dr. Nii Moi Thompson
National Security Coordinator: COP Bright Oduro
The alleged cabinet appointments show a balance between experienced politicians and technocrats. The highlights include:
Attorney General and Minister of Justice: Dr. Akuritinga Ayine
Finance Minister: Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson
Minister for Foreign Affairs: Dr. Valerie Sawyer
Minister of Interior: COP Kofi Boakye
Minister of Education: Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
Minister of Health: Prof. Titus Beyuo
Minister for Trade and Industry: Prof. Joshua Alabi
Other notable mentions are Dr. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings as the Minister of Science and Technology and Hon. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah as the Minister of Energy and Petroleum.
Potential Deputy Ministers
The deputy positions, though largely overlooked in public discourse, feature individuals like:
Deputy Minister for Energy: Hon. Mutawakil Adam
Deputy Attorney General: Edudzi Tamakloe
Deputy Minister for Tourism- Mrs. Shamima Muslim
Deputy Minister for Defence: Hon. Kofi Adams
The list has generated mixed reactions online, with many praising Mahama’s alleged choices for including experienced leaders like Hon. Julius Debrah and Dr. Ato Forson. However, others have criticized the absence of figures like Sammy Gyamfi in major ministerial roles. Some supporters argue that his exclusion might signal a strategic move to position him for a different, perhaps less public-facing role.
Social media has been abuzz with debates about the qualifications and effectiveness of these alleged appointees. Many Ghanaians see the list as a sign of Mahama’s readiness to govern with a focus on competence and experience.
While this list remains unofficial, it has reignited conversations about Mahama’s potential administration. Supporters are hopeful that, if elected, Mahama will deliver on his promise of assembling a team capable of addressing Ghana’s economic challenges.
As Ghanaians wait for official confirmation, this leak has set the tone for what could be one of the most closely watched administrations in recent history. Whether Sammy Gyamfi’s apparent exclusion is temporary or part of a larger plan remains to be seen.
