President-elect John Dramani Mahama has voiced serious concerns about the outgoing government’s actions, particularly regarding last-minute contracts and mass recruitments. Speaking during a meeting with the UK High Commissioner to Ghana, Harriet Thompson, on December 13, 2024, Mahama warned that these actions could place a significant strain on his incoming administration.
Mahama pointed out that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) transition team has observed para-state agencies signing last-minute contracts, potentially committing the new government to obligations before it even takes office. He also highlighted reports of mass recruitments into state agencies, which he fears will create financial liabilities for his administration.
He appealed to the UK High Commissioner to encourage the outgoing government to act responsibly and facilitate a smooth transition. Mahama stressed the importance of transparency and cooperation between the two administrations to prevent unnecessary economic burdens.
With the inauguration set for January 7, 2025, Mahama’s concerns emphasize the critical need for a well-coordinated handover process to ensure stability and continuity in governance.
