The position of the MD for NIB is a professional position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the candidate in question is also a professional banker but dabbling in politics at that level politicizes the all-appointment process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that is the right thing to do at this time. I think the president should have been a bit careful making the decision on the gentleman,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Minority in parliament is calling for the revocation of the appointment of the governing NPP\u2019s parliamentary candidate for Manso Nkwanta as the new Managing Director for the National Investment Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Former Power Minister and Member of Parliament for Pru East, Dr. Kwabena Donkor accused the government of attempting to use the bank\u2019s resources to fund the newly appointed MD\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery parliamentary candidate should be very busy campaigning. How do they expect the PC to have enough time to address the issues of the bank? That is obviously a political trick and a trick to use the resources of the bank to fund the parliamentary campaign of the candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a most worrying appointment. Six months into an election and how do you appoint a parliamentary candidate as the Managing Director of a very ailing state bank? The National Investment Bank has consistently incurred losses for the last 5 years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow will the Bank of Ghana approve the appointment of a parliamentary candidate as the Managing Director of an ailing state bank? The appointment must be revoked and the Bank of Ghana must live up to its duty as a regulator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Economist and Senior Lecturer at the University Of Ghana Business School, Prof. Lord Mensah has welcomed this call.<\/p>\n<p>According to Prof. Mensah, the appointment will compromise the independence of management of the bank and could ultimately serve as an outlet for the government\u2019s corruption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>starrfm.com.gh<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governance expert Prof. Baffour Agyeman-Duah has described the appointment of\u00a0New Patriotic Party\u00a0(NPP\u2019s) parliamentary candidate Manso Nkwanta as the new Managing Director for the National Investment Bank as unfortunate.
