The truth is she is just not qualified for that position. John Dramani Mahama could have appointed any of the staff of Joyfm business news either current or past.Bernard Avle of Citi Fm is even more qualified than Tilly.

I agree with you. See below the resume of her immediate predecessor:

Ms. Elsie Addo-Awadzi
Before her appointment as Deputy Governor, she was Senior Counsel of the IMF’s Legal Department (Financial and Fiscal Law Unit) where she worked for six years advising IMF member country authorities (mostly Finance Ministries and Central Banks) in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East, on banking sector regulatory reforms, banking sector crisis management, G20 member countries’ financial stability assessments, and public financial management reforms. She also taught and directed courses for IMF member-country officials in Washington D.C. and in IMF regional training centres in Vienna (Austria), Mauritius, and Singapore.
Before joining the IMF in 2012, Ms. Addo Awadzi was a two-term (six years in total) Commissioner of Ghana’s Securities and Exchange Commission and in that role, was active in formulating policies and rules to regulate Ghana’s then-nascent capital market. She was called to the Ghana Bar in April 1996 and thereafter worked with major law firms in Ghana, in banking, and in financial sector reforms.
She holds academic qualifications in law, finance, and international economic law from Georgetown University Law Center, Ghana School of Law, University of Ghana Business School, and University of Ghana Faculty of Law. She holds Honorary Fellowships awarded by the Chartered Institute of Bankers (Ghana) and the Institute of Directors (Ghana) in recognition of her contributions to Ghana’s banking sector and corporate Governance in Ghana respectively.

Ghana is gradually becoming a Banana republic Where people place value on paper degree without tried and tested track experience and achievement in the field they seek to function. A journalist who picked some 3 months or 6 months diploma to become a Deputy Govenor????? Thats why Trump calls this country "Shiyet" holes. Its mother Ghana that suffers. VIP= Vagabons In Power

This is becoming too much. President Mahama is doing the same mistakes he did in his first term in office which led to our defeat. Why is president Mahama appointing so many non party folks into such juicy positions? What did they do and how much did they contribute over the past 8 years in opposition to deserve these juicy appointments? Why are people who contributed huge resources being sidelined? Why does the president thinks and believe in these non party members than the party members? Will the so called neutrals he is appointing be there to defend and protect the party if he leaves power?
He is commiting the same 'Father for all' mistakes again. Most of the core members and grassroots of the NDC who contributed our money, and meager resources and contributions for the past 8 years will be seriously impoverished because those he's appointing doesn't have any connections with the grassroots who brought us to power.
Right now there's huge apathy among the Ga community within and from the nation's capital who gave their all the President Mahama and won 95% for NDC. And that's very dangerous for the party for subsequent elections. It looks as if the president doesn't trust Gas at all.
