CDM rates Mahama 1/4 in his first 100 days in office

The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has criticized President John Mahama’s first 100 days in office. They gave his administration a score of 1 out of 4.

In a recent statement, the CDM expressed serious concerns. They described a pattern of “executive overreach, selective justice, and institutional decay.” The group believes these issues undermine democracy and public trust.

The CDM claims President Mahama has not upheld the rule of law. They pointed to the Attorney-General's frequent use of nolle prosequi to end politically sensitive corruption cases.

High-profile prosecutions have been dropped, including the €2.37 million ambulance deal and the Saglemi Housing Project. This raises fears about executive interference.

“This is a blatant abuse of power,” said the CDM. They view it as a betrayal of anti-corruption commitments.

The movement also criticized Mahama for his silence on illegal mining (galamsey). They noted that he has not provided a clear strategy to address environmental degradation.

Additionally, they raised concerns about economic mismanagement. The lack of clarity behind programs like the “24-hour economy” and “Big Push” was highlighted.

CDM also objected to the GH¢2.7 billion allocation to the Office of Government Machinery amid widespread hardship.

In conclusion, CDM urged President Mahama to focus on transparency and accountability.

“The administration’s early performance shows misplaced priorities,” they stated.

They called on citizens to stay vigilant and demand better leadership moving forward.
