The Council of State: Appointment in Public, Resignation in Silence
When former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo quietly resigned from Ghana's Council of State, the public only learned of her departure months later—first through media reports and then through confirmation by presidential spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu. That silence is not a minor administrative oversight. It raises a fundamental question of democratic accountability: why was an appointment to the Council publicly announced, while a resignation from this constitutional body—funded by taxpayers and entrusted with advising the President—treated as a private exchange between a member and President Mahama?
