The politician explained that avoiding such roles has spared her from the alleged harassment and legal challenges some NPP members are currently facing under the Mahama-led administration.
She claimed that being free from these pressures has allowed her to maintain peace of mind.
In an interview on Angel FM, Jennifer Queen remarked that not being placed on the board of any institution under Akufo-Addo’s government had shielded her from potential persecution.
She suggested that had she been given such a position, she might have been subjected to arrests and investigations, as has been the case with some other party members.
She expressed her gratitude to the former president for this decision.
“So, former President Akufo-Addo, I greet you this morning, and I am grateful to you for not appointing me as a board member of any institution,” she stated.
In recent weeks, several prominent members of the NPP have reportedly faced legal troubles, including arrests and invitations for questioning by the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) over corruption allegations.
One such incident involved Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
He was detained by the NIB concerning his alleged involvement in the failed $3 billion Accra Sky Train project.
Reports indicate that he authorized the release of $2 million to Africa Investor Holdings, the company managing the project, before feasibility studies were conducted.
The funds, according to reports, have not been recovered.
Additionally, former Minister of Railway Development, Joe Ghartey, was invited by the NIB for questioning over his role in the same project.
