President John Dramani Mahama is preparing to make further changes to the leadership of several state institutions as part of an ongoing reorganisation aimed at strengthening the performance and coordination of his administration.
The anticipated reshuffle is expected to affect Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of state institutions and follows recent changes to the ministerial structure and the dissolution of boards of several public institutions.
The latest board dissolutions were announced on September 2, 2026, as the administration intensifies efforts to align government institutions with its policies and priorities.
Presidency signals tougher performance expectations
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr Callistus Mahama, the Presidency said the ongoing changes are intended to ensure that government appointees remain aligned with the administration’s agenda and deliver effectively on their responsibilities.
It reiterated that discipline, accountability and effective leadership are key expectations for Ministers, Deputy Ministers, CEOs, board members and other political appointees.
The Presidency urged appointees to perform their duties with integrity, diligence and humility while complying with established administrative procedures and supporting the effective implementation of government policies.
It also warned that conduct capable of undermining government cohesion, institutional authority or the execution of government programmes would not be tolerated.
Public officeholders to face continued assessment
The Presidency reminded political appointees that holding public office is a privilege accompanied by a responsibility to serve the Ghanaian people.
It said the performance of government appointees across various sectors would continue to be assessed as the administration seeks to strengthen its effectiveness, responsiveness and delivery of public programmes.
The statement suggested that further leadership changes remain possible where necessary to protect the administration’s objectives.
“The President will take any further action necessary to safeguard the integrity, effectiveness and responsiveness of his Administration,” the statement said.
The warning comes as the government seeks greater alignment between political leadership and the implementation of its policy agenda across ministries, departments and state institutions.
Appointees urged to cooperate with reorganisation
The Presidency called on all appointees to cooperate with the ongoing reorganisation and maintain their focus on delivering the government’s mandate.
It said the recent ministerial changes, dissolution of selected institutional boards and the impending CEO reshuffle reflect President Mahama’s determination to strengthen institutional leadership and improve coordination across government.
The Presidency further stressed that all Ministers, Deputy Ministers, CEOs, board members and other political appointees are expected to demonstrate integrity, diligence, humility and respect for administrative procedures.
According to the statement, the government will continue to assess performance across sectors and take appropriate measures where necessary.
The latest move signals a broader effort by the Mahama administration to reinforce accountability and institutional effectiveness, with leadership performance expected to remain a key consideration as the government advances its policy and development agenda.
