NPP Communicator Kofi Tonto Urges CEOs Appointed Under Akufo-Addo to Resign
Tonto Advocates for Leadership Transition Under Mahama’s Administration
A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team, Kofi Tonto, has called for the immediate resignation of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) appointed under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration.
A Call for Alignment with Mahama’s Vision
Tonto argues that individuals in leadership roles at state institutions should align with President John Dramani Mahama’s vision and agenda to ensure a smooth governance transition.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, February 6, Kofi Tonto stated:
“You cannot campaign against the vision and ideas of Mahama and expect to be maintained as a CEO. Step down for those who believe in his ideas and vision. It’s that simple!”
SIC MD Controversy Sparks Debate
Tonto’s remarks come amidst ongoing tensions surrounding the Managing Director (MD) transition at SIC Insurance PLC. Outgoing MD Hollister Duah-Yentumi has reportedly taken legal action against the company following the appointment of her successor, James Agyenim-Boateng.
Reports suggest that Duah-Yentumi has locked the MD’s office and withheld the keys, preventing Agyenim-Boateng from assuming his role.
Office Lockdown Raises Operational Concerns
During an interview on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on February 5, Agyenim-Boateng disclosed that when he visited SIC’s headquarters to introduce himself to the management team, Duah-Yentumi refused to attend the meeting.
Additionally, the outgoing MD has yet to submit her handover notes, raising concerns among SIC staff about the disruption in operations.
“It has become apparent that the real difficulty regarding why I have not been able to access the office is because my predecessor has locked up the office and bolted with the keys. It is strange,” Agyenim-Boateng stated.
Call for a Smooth Transition
The unfolding situation has sparked public debate, with many calling for a seamless transition to ensure that state-owned enterprises operate without political interference. The controversy surrounding SIC Insurance PLC further underscores the broader concerns regarding post-election appointments and governance continuity
