#President Mahama’s Initiative: Banning Political Appointees from State Scholarships.
President John Dramani Mahama has implemented a policy aimed at ensuring the fair distribution of state scholarships. The policy prohibited political appointees, including government officials and party functionaries, from accessing state-funded scholarships.
The Rationale.
This move was designed to prevent the abuse of power and favoritism in the allocation of scholarships. By restricting access for political appointees, the policy sought to ensure that state scholarships were awarded based on merit rather than political connections.
