President Mahama directs ministers, CEOs, and public officials to stop accepting private awards without approval, citing concerns over credibility and performance measurement, following backlash over awards at the 6th Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Awards.

President John Dramani Mahama has directed all Ministers of State, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of state institutions, and political appointees to refrain from accepting awards from private organisations unless expressly authorised by the Office of the President.
The directive, communicated through a statement signed by Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, follows growing concerns within government over what the Presidency describes as an increasing trend of public officials participating in privately organised award schemes that label them as “best-performing,” “most outstanding,” or “most influential” office holders.
According to the Presidency, many of these award-giving organisations have unclear credentials, questionable methodologies, and little public recognition, raising concerns about their credibility and the standards used in evaluating public officials.

The statement noted that in several instances, there is no transparent, objective, or verifiable process for assessing the performance of officials receiving such honours.
