Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu is an NPP activist
A New Patriotic Party (NPP) activist, Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to take bold action by sacking ministers and appointees he believes are underperforming.
He said a government that seeks to inspire public confidence must not hesitate to remove officials who fail to deliver results.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb on October 22, 2025, KOKA stated that some members of President Mahama’s administration have not lived up to expectations but continue to occupy positions despite poor performance.

According to him, decisive leadership requires confronting underachievement head-on.
“I don’t feel the competence of the Lands minister, Sam George, and Okudzeto Ablakwa. They need to be sacked. The president must be decisive and take action against those who are not working,” he stated, stressing that effective governance demands accountability at all levels.
KOKA further mentioned that several other ministers, including those responsible for Health, Tourism, Arts and Culture, and Roads, have not demonstrated sufficient impact in their respective sectors.
He argued that the president should not hesitate to remove them to make room for more competent individuals.
He particularly criticized the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, saying that aside from the day he was seen crying on television, there has been little evidence of tangible achievements in the sector.
“Apart from the day he cried on TV, what else has he done?” KOKA asked.
The NPP activist also mentioned North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and Ningo-Prampram MP Sam George among those he believes have failed to justify their continued relevance in public life.
Although both are opposition legislators, he said performance standards should be applied fairly across the political spectrum.

KOKA’s comments come amid heightened discussions about accountability and performance within 10 months of Mahama’s government.
He urged President Mahama to demonstrate strong leadership by reshuffling or dismissing non-performing ministers, arguing that such action would restore public trust and strengthen the credibility of his administration.
