The IMF has raised concerns about political interference in the appointment of officials to key state institutions in Ghana, warning that it undermines governance and accountability. In a recent report, the fund identified the politicisation of board and chief executive appointments as a major weakness in the management of state-owned enterprises. This issue affects organisations such as COCOBOD, GPHA, and VRA, which play crucial roles in Ghana’s economic development. The IMF stressed that such practices can lead to a lack of professional oversight and weaken the effectiveness of public services. The report calls for reforms to ensure that appointments are based on merit rather than political influence. Officials in Ghana have been urged to take action to improve transparency and governance within state institutions.
