Koku Anyidoho, a former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress

Koku Anyidoho, a former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized president John Dramani Mahama over the appointment and role of Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who serves as Minister of State in charge of Government Communications.

According to Anyidoho, it is improper for one person to serve as the spokesperson for both the presidency and the entire government.

He argued that the individual who speaks for the president should not necessarily speak for the government as a whole.

Speaking in an interview on Sompa TV on June 26, 2025, Anyidoho stated that, historically, only President Mahama adopted such a structure.

“Why should we have a system where one person speaks for both the government and the president? President Mahama introduced this system in 2013 during his tenure,” he said.

“Apart from President Mahama, where in Ghana’s political history has it been established that one person serves as the spokesperson for both the presidency and the entire government?”
