  • Concerned Ghanaian 11 months ago

    How can an ex convict who has not cleared his name as a jailed corrupt public official be made Governor of Bank of Ghana? Only in Ghana that Dr Yankey can even have a bank account. Let’s be serious

  • 70 year olds? 11 months ago

    These guys are way too old. Mahama needs a sharp younger man/woman to head. Maybe a max a 45 - 50 year old. And the person should be apolitical

    Sure, the spear needs a new solid shaft, says the adage. I will vouch for Dr, Sipa Yankey. It was in his role as chairman that saw the successful completion and handover of the Attuabo Gas plant. He is capable of bringing new ...

    Togbe Afede has never been the Chairman of the Council State. he was a member due to his position as Chairman of the national House of Chiefs. So, check your facts before you write.

  • GOD is SUPREME 11 months ago

    Dr. Johnson P. Asiama is the best bet for the job. He has in-depth knowledge about how things are structured at BoG and as a son of Volta Region he deserves it.
    Dr. Nasiru Ishahaku has held the fort before. As a classmate t ...

    Super corrupt SipaYankey was exposed by UK courts for the bribes he received from Marbey and Johnson so they could build sub-standard defective bridges in Ghana for huge millions. That NDC under Mills chose to reward all the ...

    Not sure if YANKEY is qualified. He did 18 months at NSAWAM prison and therefore is a gazetted ex convict. KUFFUOR jailed his ass.

    Sipa Yankey is qualified. Its over ten years since he was released from prison.

  • Kwaku Yeboah 11 months ago

    Who will make an inward looking pest and parasite the Governor of a Central Bank? This is blasphemous. No civilized society will think of making this man a Director at a state-owned financial institution. How can he be made ...

    Togbe Afede will be the right person to be the next Governor of the Bank of Ghana. He’s an honest and trustworthy person and hope the President will give him the job.

  • OZYMANDIAS 10 months ago

    Togbe Afede is too tribalistic and inward-looking and will not be fair in his handling of financial issues involving Akans. Not Sipa-Yankey also who is a convicted felon. The others are alright.

  • Annor. 10 months ago

    Tobge Afedi opposed the construction of the Bank of Ghana new building therefore he should be disqualify .keep him out .

  • Shemouna Goldhill Sulemana 10 months ago

    In terms of banking experience, none of these guys can compete with Chief Alhassan Andani. He deserves the Bank of Ghana governor post.
