These politicians we are going to talk about committed some blunders in their line of duty which compromised and undermined the efforts of the Nana Akufo Addo.

Unable to withstand the pressure that emanated from their own party faithfuls and the opposition parties to vacate their post, they tendered their resignation. Most of them saw the sack staring gloomily at them and the needful by resigning before the inevitable humiliation that might come with it.

1. Carlos Ahenkora

Deputy Trades and Industry Minister, Carlos Ahenkorah resigned from his post after facing widespread condemnation for visiting registration centres when he knew he has been infected with the deadly Covid-19 virus.

In a directive from Nana Akufo Addo and signed by the Director of Communications at the Presidency Eugene Arhin, the minister was asked to resign or be fired for subjecting the NPP to the barrage of criticisms and obviously risking the lives of the general public with his careless attitude.

Hon Ahenkorah was in isolation centre days ago after he tested positive for Coronavirus. Surprisingly he ‘sneaked’ out to visit registration centres in Tema West where he’s a Member of Parliament(MP). His action attracted backlash from social and mainstream media after he himself confirmed that indeed he went to check proceedings at the centres.

His action was highly condemned and from the perspective of NPP members, his action posed a threat to the chances of Nana Akufo Addo in the build-up to this year’s election scheduled for December. Besides, President Akufo-Addo wants all his appointees to bear in mind that they are to provide leadership, at all times, for adherence to the protocols that have been established to help the nation defeat COVID-19.

The President accepted the resignation while adding that Hon. Carlos Ahenkorah has acted honorably in the circumstances by resigning from his office and wishes him well.

2. William Quaitoo

William Quaitoo, who was the was Deputy Agric minister vacated his post in a hurry after he made derogatory comments wrapped in tribalism against the people of the Northern Region.

In an interview with Accra-based Starr FM, he described Northerners as ‘difficult people’ while also claiming that farmers from the north were only interested in extorting money from the government. Despite apologizing for his comments, some Ghanaians thought resigning from his post will be in his best interest and that of the country. He eventually bowed out.

3. Charles Bissue

Charles Bissue was a Presidential Staffer who resigned after being caught in the web of a stinking corruption deal that has to do with galamsey. Mr. Bissue was captured in Anas’ exposé titled Galamsey Fraud which highlighted illegal mining activities.

As a secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), Charles Bissue, was caught in the undercover operation allegedly receiving a bribe to allow illegal miners to operate despite a ban on the operation. Moments after the documentary was made public, he resigned.

4. Rockson Bukari

Minister of State at the Office of the President, Rockson Bukari also resigned after he was heard in a leaked tape attempting to bribe a Starr FM journalist, Edward Adeti, to kill a story against a judge and a Chinese mining firm when he was Upper East Regional Minister. Although the Minister denied being the one whose voice was caught on the tape, he formally tendered in his resignation.

5. Otiko Afisa Djaba

Otiko Afisa Djaba was very angry when Nana Akufo Addo removed her as Minister of Gender, Children, and Special Protection and reassigned her as Ghana’s Ambassador to Italy. She flatly turned down the offer of being an ambassador and literally walked out of politics, just like that.
