‘This cycle is not going to be broken any soon’ – Osae-Kwapong on partisan appointments

CDD-Ghana Fellow Dr John Osae-Kwapong says partisan appointments to independent constitutional bodies will persist unless meaningful institutional reforms break the pattern.

That concern, he added, came “at a time when that institution is struggling to have the fullest confidence of the Ghanaian public.“Both parties - NDC and NPP - have had opportunities to express a view about openly partisan persons being appointed to certain institutions, but we see this cycle being repeated, through the rotation and election turnovers.”
