The Deputy Coordinator of the Feed Ghana Programme in charge of Institutional Farming, Gordon Asubonteng, has praised the John Dramani Mahama administration for nearly two years of good and clean governance. He cited the absence of any major corruption scandal under the administration as an indication of its commitment to responsible governance. Asubonteng's comments reflect a positive assessment of the administration's performance so far. The Feed Ghana Programme is a government initiative aimed at improving food security and sustainable agriculture practices.

According to Asubonteng, the recent profit-margin reports published by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) show improvements in the performance of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). Some SOEs that previously operated at losses have returned to profitability, suggesting improvements in the management of the economy. This development has been welcomed as a positive step towards advancing national development. The SIGA reports provide valuable insights into the financial performance of SOEs.

Asubonteng called on Ghanaians to continue supporting the Mahama administration, citing its commitment to responsible leadership. He acknowledged that the government still has more work to do, noting that some sectors have yet to record significant progress. The administration's performance has been subject to scrutiny, with various stakeholders offering feedback on areas that require attention. Asubonteng's comments reflect a nuanced assessment of the administration's progress.

Asubonteng encouraged Ghanaians to offer constructive criticism to help the President and his appointees identify areas that require attention. He believes that such feedback will allow the government to improve its performance and take further steps towards advancing national development. The administration has been working to engage with various stakeholders and gather feedback on its policies and programs.

The Deputy Coordinator noted that it is impossible for any human institution to be perfect. He therefore urged Ghanaians to be patient and understanding, while also offering support and constructive criticism where necessary. Asubonteng's comments reflect a pragmatic approach to governance and the importance of stakeholder engagement.

Asubonteng maintained that the progress recorded so far, particularly in clean governance and the improved financial fortunes of some SOEs, provides reason to have confidence in the direction of the administration. He cited the absence of major corruption scandals as a significant achievement. The administration's commitment to clean governance has been a key aspect of its policy agenda.

The Feed Ghana Programme is part of a broader effort to improve food security and sustainable agriculture practices in Ghana. Asubonteng's comments reflect a positive assessment of the administration's performance in this area. The programme has been working to support farmers and improve agricultural productivity.
