A CDD-Ghana fellow argues that state institutions will struggle to separate their actions from politics as long as their heads are political appointees, noting that leadership changes in these institutions often follow changes in government and that cases involving high-profile or politically exposed persons add further complexity.
Dr John Osae-Kwapong of the Centre for Democratic Development argues that heads of state institutions should be removed from office if they repeatedly oversee constitutional breaches, saying accountability must extend to leadership and those who appoint them, though he acknowledges the challenge that many such heads are political appointees.
A CDD-Ghana fellow says political appointment of heads of key state institutions makes it difficult for the public to distinguish administrative actions from partisan politics, a challenge that deepens when institutions investigate politically exposed persons or high-profile party figures.
Dr John Osae-Kwapong argues that accountability for EOCO's conduct should extend beyond individual officers to the political authorities who supervise the institution, noting that agency heads are political appointees and leadership changes often follow elections, complicating efforts to separate administrative actions from politics especially when investigations involve high-profile political figures.
A CDD-Ghana fellow argues that Ghana's practice of appointing heads of state institutions on political grounds makes it hard for citizens to view investigations into prominent officials as purely administrative rather than politically motivated, and suggests the country must rethink how its institutions operate.
Abraham Amaliba, Director of Conflict Resolution for the NDC, has argued that successive governments should not be blamed for "Rambo-style" arrests by security agencies, saying security agencies operate independently.

Abraham Amaliba, former Director of Legal Affairs of the NDC, has urged current government appointees to learn from the investigation into former IMCCoD Executive Secretary Dennis Edward Aboagye, warning that all public officials will eventually be required to account for their stewardship and that those managing public resources prudently while in office can avoid such investigations after leaving.
Former NDC legal director Abraham Amaliba says public officials can be held criminally liable for failing to safeguard state resources, even without personal enrichment. His comments follow the arrest of former IMCCoD Executive Secretary Miracles Aboagye by EOCO.
Former NDC Legal Affairs Director Abraham Amaliba has dismissed claims that the arrest of Dennis Edward Aboagye (Miracles) is politically motivated, stating instead that it concerns public officials' accountability for the management of public funds. Amaliba argued that the Economic and Organised Crime Office investigation is justified because Aboagye occupied public office and allegedly mishandled state funds.
The National Road Safety Authority Director-General announced reforms to reduce road crashes and fatalities, including mandatory vehicle towing, nationwide rollout of a technology-driven traffic enforcement system, intensified public education, helmet enforcement, and appointing Regional Ministers and local chief executives as Road Safety Ambassadors. The measures are set to begin implementation next year as part of a strategy to address the rising number of deaths on Ghana's roads.
Ghana's National Road Safety Authority reports that crash cases fell to 1,195 in March 2026 from 1,218 in March 2025, with fatalities dropping 9.8% to 229. The Authority credits the improvement to intensified public education campaigns conducted with the Ghana Police Service ahead of Easter festivities.
