A longstanding operative of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), James Agbey, has called on government appointees to remain committed to President John Dramani Mahama’s agenda and avoid actions that could undermine his administration.

Agbey, in a statement issued on Thursday, July 23, 2026, said while he was encouraged by the President’s efforts to deliver on his campaign promises, there were concerns about the conduct of some appointees.

He said President Mahama’s approach to governance had received positive feedback, adding that the President had demonstrated the ability to make decisions and pursue policies aimed at addressing national challenges.

“President Mahama promised to ‘do politics differently’, and just a little over one and half years, that approach has been tried, tested and given a thumbs-up,” Agbey said.

He noted that the President was enjoying strong public support, referencing the recent Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) report, but cautioned that the actions of some public officials could affect the government’s image.

“While some ministers and agency heads are getting the applause, others simply are refusing to understand the times that we are in,” he said.

Agbey urged ministers, chief executives of state institutions and other government officials to prioritise the interests of Ghanaians and support the President’s efforts to reset the economy and strengthen governance.

“Some of us have chosen to speak out to send a clear warning to those appointees to watch it,” he said, stressing that the focus should be on helping the President succeed.

He added that public officials must recognise their responsibility to serve citizens and support the administration’s broader objectives.

“Appointees need to at every point in time serve the interest of the President,” Agbey said.

He further called for accountability and discipline among government officials, warning that individual actions should not distract from the government’s commitments to the electorate.
