Ambassador Victor Smith Warns Appointees Against Undermining Mahama’s Administration
Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, Victor Smith, has issued a strong warning to government appointees, cautioning that anyone who attempts to undermine President John Dramani Mahama’s administration risks losing their position.
Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on September 23, Ambassador Smith urged appointees to remain loyal and committed to the President’s agenda, stressing that Mahama would not hesitate to dismiss those who go off course.
Mahama “Calm but Firm”
Smith described President Mahama as approachable and warm but noted that his calm demeanor should not be mistaken for weakness.
“I think they will be treading on dangerous grounds because the President is watching. Some of us will speak our minds if we hear an appointee is going wayward, the President will hear of it. I will tell you that you are taking the party down. He will remove the person.
I believe John Mahama, he’s laughing with people, but you won’t take him down with you. The President is focused. People see him as a calm personality, but don’t toy with him,” he said.
He further stressed that since Mahama is serving his final term, he has no tolerance for misconduct.
“Because this time around, when he finishes his term, he’s going on retirement. So if you misconduct or abuse the office he has given you, he will just appoint someone to your position, so you are going home.”
NDC Won’t Repeat NPP’s Mistakes
Ambassador Smith also indicated that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) would not allow internal dissent to fester as he claimed the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) had done. He emphasized that discipline within government ranks would be strictly enforced to protect the party’s image and ensure effective governance.
