“Chief of Staff must act on the “Cash for award Saga” organized for Ministers of state last night as revealed by Kpessa Whyte the SIGA Boss, if this Government throughly mean to reset this Country then they must crack the whip, True leadership is not bought at GH¢25,000 or GH¢50,000 per table. It is earned through sacrifice, results, and unwavering commitment to the public good” — Gen. Buhari

In a bold and principled move that has sent ripples across Ghana’s governance landscape, Professor Michael Kpessa Whyte, Director General of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), has publicly exposed what many are calling a blatant “cash-for-awards” scheme targeting ministers of state and public officials.

Prof. Kpessa Whyte wrote on his Facebook wall detailing how he received a letter early this month from an organisation styling itself the “Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours.” The letter informed him that he had been adjudged “Best CEO of the Year” and invited him to receive the award at an event held on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel.

Out of caution, he asked his staff to seek clarification from the organisers. The response was revealing, attendance to receive the supposed honour was conditional on a financial contribution either a sponsorship package of GH¢50,000 or the purchase of a dinner table for eight at GH¢25,000. In his words, “the path to public recognition appeared to have been tied to financial contribution.” He opted out.

This revelation comes at a critical time. President John Dramani Mahama’s government came into office on a strong promise to “reset” Ghana, fighting corruption, restoring integrity in public service, promoting accountability, and rebuilding public trust. Award ceremonies that monetise recognition for ministers and state officials directly undermine that reset agenda.

The Broader Implications Pay-to-play awards erode the very essence of public service. True excellence in governance should be measured by impact, prudent management of state resources, delivery of services, transparency, and ethical leadership not by the depth of one’s pocket or willingness to sponsor galas. When ministers or CEOs must pay to be honoured, it raises serious questions.

How can citizens trust public officials who participate in schemes that commodify honour? The timing is particularly unfortunate. The event took place just days after devastating floods in Accra claimed lives and destroyed property, yet some ministers were being feted at a lavish ceremony.

Call to Action for the Chief of Staff,
The Chief of Staff, Hon. Julius Debrah, must treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. As a key gatekeeper in the presidency, he has the responsibility to launch a full investigation into the organisers of the “Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours” and determine the extent of participation by government appointees and publicly affirm the government’s commitment to ethical governance by distancing the administration from such practices.

Ghanaians did not vote for cosmetic honours bought with public or private funds. Ghana cannot reset if its leaders continue to indulge in practices that blur the lines between merit and money.

The Chief of Staff and the entire government now face a test, Will they walk the talk of their reset promise, or will this be another instance where rhetoric outpaces action? The eyes of the public and history are watching.

True leadership is not bought at GH¢25,000 or GH¢50,000 per table. It is earned through sacrifice, results, and unwavering commitment to the public good. Let this episode mark the beginning of a genuine cultural shift in how we recognise excellence in Ghana.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Ministers of State" Cash For Awards" Wahala.

A political storm is brewing around the 2026 Ministers of State Awards, with allegations and counter-allegations turning the ceremony into a battlefield of credibility. Claims from Kpessah Whyte an NDC appointee and head of SIGA
have surfaced that organisers solicited undisclosed payments from some award recipients before conferring honours a charge that has shaken public confidence in the integrity of the awards process.

But in a dramatic twist, Kpessah Whyte, who first raised concerns, is himself now being accused by some of the award recipients supporters that a similar pattern occured during the 2025 SIGA Awards he Kpessah Whyte organised where some CEOs and appointees who contributed to his programme influenced the award outcomes. The line between recognition and commercial influence is becoming increasingly blurred, raising hard questions about standards in public honours.

To complicate the political theatre further, critics are again linking Kpessa White's controversy to internal party tensions, suggesting that his rivalry with Linda Ocloo who defeated him in internal contests may be shaping the narrative as she will use it to score political points in the constituency after he refused to pay for the award according to his own narrative.

He never pretended to be neutral he has always been a committed NPP man. He is not lazy, nor does he lick politicians’ boots to survive. He is a trained teacher and a true patriot.

It is quite ironic that the same merchants of probity and accountability now suggest a Ghanaian needs an audit license to decipher the truth of our national accounts.

The BoG recorded a total loss of GH¢34.9bn. Focusing only on the 'operating' portion is a pretense that undermines transparency. Having the humility to admit the full scale of our challenges is the first step to recapitalizing the Central Bank a necessity their own financials make clear.

Ghanaians don’t need 'voodoo' mathematics; we just need the truth, in full, for every citizen to see.
