The Director-General of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, has described President John Dramani Mahama’s recent directives to the heads of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) as clear and non-negotiable marching orders.
He emphasized that the President would not hesitate to remove underperforming SOE leaders who fail to meet the expected standards of efficiency and financial accountability.
President Mahama has called for a sweeping overhaul of SOEs, aiming to curb financial mismanagement and enhance their contribution to national development.
In response, Prof. Kpessa-Whyte reaffirmed SIGA’s dedication to ensuring strict compliance with these directives.
Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV’s The Point of View, he underscored the importance of performance-based evaluations.
“More importantly, I saw his [Mahama’s] speech as marching orders, as telling all of us, myself, my colleagues, and everybody who was in that room that there will be clear indicators around which your performance will be measured,” he stated.
His remarks reinforce the government’s commitment to driving accountability and improving efficiency within SOEs, signaling a new era of stringent oversight in the sector.
