Weak boardroom practices threaten national projects – Julius Debrah warns

Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has called on boards of public and private institutions to embrace generational and ethical governance to safeguard national projects from political interference.

Speaking at the National Boardroom Governance 2025 Conference in Accra on Tuesday, October 14, Mr. Debrah cautioned that weak boardroom practices could lead to reputational harm, legal challenges, and financial instability.

“When boardrooms think generationally, the present becomes the foundation, not the finish line. We must, however, acknowledge the realities before us. Boards today operate in an environment of heightened public scrutiny, fast-changing markets, and tightened regulations,” he said.

He emphasised that the government is committed to strengthening accountability and transparency through initiatives such as the Reset Agenda and the Government Accountability Series, where ministers publicly report on policies and progress.

“We governors invite reputational harm, legal exposure, and financial instability. That is why the government continues to strengthen accountability and transparency through initiatives such as the Reset Agenda and Government Accountability, where government ministers publicly account for policies and progress made,” he added.
