Dafeamekpor accuses IMF of anti-NDC bias over SOE governance report

Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has accused the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of showing political bias against the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government following the Fund’s latest assessment of governance in Ghana’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

His comments followed an IMF Technical Assistance Report on Ghana’s SOEs, which identified the politicisation of board and chief executive appointments as a major weakness in the governance of state-owned enterprises.

What the IMF says about political appointments The Fund said Ghana was building a more structured and merit-based system for appointing SOE boards and chief executives, but that implementation remained incomplete.
