The Chief Executive Officer of the IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, Franklin Cudjoe, has cautioned President John Dramani Mahama that the period ahead will require sharper focus, restraint, and clear priorities as major government projects enter critical phases.
In a Facebook post, Cudjoe suggested that the early goodwill surrounding the administration has faded, arguing that the coming year will test both leadership discipline and fiscal credibility.
“Now, though the honeymoon is truly over. 2026 is a crucial year for the rollout of some of your Big Push projects with significant budgets,” he wrote, framing the year as a decisive moment for the government’s economic agenda.
Central to his caution was a call for the president to reconsider the responsibilities currently assigned to the Finance Minister.
Mr Cudjoe urged Mahama to relieve Ato Forson of his additional role as Defence Minister, arguing that the dual assignment could undermine fiscal focus at a sensitive time.
“Please free Finance Minister Ato Forson from the additional duty as Defence Minister so he can focus and continue being fiscally disciplined,” he said.
