Two times the NPP General Secretary has threatened political appointees

The no-nonsense approach adopted by the General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, clearly shows his resolve to ensure the party does not lose power in the December 7 general elections.

The party’s chief scribe has asserted himself firmly and is running the party’s activities to ensure the party breaks the 8-year governance cycle by the two leading political parties, the NPP and NDC.

He has warned political appointees of the government to step up their game or risk being sanctioned.

GhanaWeb takes a look at two instances where Justin Frimpong Kodua threatened political appointees within two years.

In December 2022, he issued a stern warning to underperforming government appointees to up their game or risk being reshuffled.

He cautioned that the party will not hesitate to make some recommendations to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to reshuffle appointees who have been performing abysmally.

Justin Frimpong Kodoa charged government appointees to work hard to avoid being reshuffled, adding that the party’s efforts in retaining the seat of government will not be in vain by a few non-performing appointees.

“The party worked so hard in 2016 for us to win the election; therefore, we will also work hard to win in 2024. But at this point, if a minister, a CEO, or an MMDCE is not committed to the task ahead, just reshuffle or be reshuffled by the party. It is important that we remind ourselves that whichever position we are occupying is not because of our titles, but because the NPP is in power.” The NPP General Secretary made these comments when he addressed the student wing of the party, the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON), in Kumasi.
