Spokesperson for the Convention People's Party (CPP) in charge of Youth and Sports, James Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr., has lauded the erstwhile Kufuor government for instilling discipline in its officials.

Kwabena Bomfeh, also known as Kabila, commended ex-President J.A Kufuor for ensuring that his appointees worked effectively under his regime.

Speaking on Oman FM, Kabila was of the strong view that, unlike President Kufuor's administration where the President played a key role in supervising his Ministers, the Mahama-led government has failed to replicate such good leadership traits of the NPP government. According to him, President John Dramani Mahama has lost his clout in the face of his government officials.

He said due to the "loose" leadership traits of President Mahama, ministers are left off the hook when they shirk their duties. He categorically stated that President Mahama's administration is weak and he (President Mahama) lacks a good sense of judgment.

Contributing to a panel discussion programme on the Madina-based radio station, Kabila lauded the erstwhile administration saying “President Kufuor, if for nothing at all, was in charge of his government. You dare not (misbehave). Some Ministers…they were sacked, they were shown the exit because he (Kufuor) was the final authority.”

He therefore wondered why the opposite is so with President Mahama, whom he claimed had allowed his appointees to "drag him through mud."

"President Mahama has become the first resort instead of being the last resort…it shows a certain trait. What it indicates is that, the President’s ministerial appointees are not performing. So, each and every day, he has to come forward and do their work for them, making his ministers the last resort. It exposes one fundamental thing about the President’s own weakness; his poor sense of judgment,” Kabila said.
