Kow Essuman, the lawyer of President Akufo Addo, has been tasked with the responsibility of scripting the handing over notes of the Jubilee House to John Mahama, the man he has castigated has openly criticized for the past eight years.
This unexpected development comes following the incapacitation of Asante Bediatuo, a relative of the president who previously served as the secretary to the president at the Jubilee House.
Bediatuo is currently battling a stroke, prompting the need for Essuman to step into the role of preparing the important documentation for the upcoming government transition.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that Essuman, despite his legal expertise, is struggling to grasp the intricacies of the presidency and the content required for the handing over notes.
With only two weeks remaining until the government changes hands, the pressure is mounting to ensure a smooth transition in accordance with the law, which mandates the preparation of handing over notes three months prior to the election.
Critics of President Akufo Addo have long accused him of running the government like a monarchy, appointing family members and close associates to key government positions.
This practice has led to the government being dubbed the ‘family and friends Gov’t’. As the deadline for the handover rapidly approaches, all eyes are on Ekow Essuman as he navigates this challenging task of facilitating the transfer of power from President Akufo Addo to his former rival, John Mahama.
