Former Member of Parliament for Adentan, Kojo Adu Asare, has issued a strong caution to government appointees and chief executives, describing some of them as arrogant and “wicked” in their conduct.
Speaking on Ekosiisen on Friday, May 15, 2026, the veteran National Democratic Congress (NDC) politician suggested that rising tensions within the political space are being masked only by what he described as the current “unattractiveness” of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He expressed concern about what he called the growing disregard shown by some younger appointees toward senior party members who contributed to their political rise.
According to him, many of these officials, whom he claims he witnessed “growing up” within the party structure, have now become difficult to access and dismissive toward their seniors.
“Some of the CEOs should slow down and respect us when we come to them. These are young guys who grew up under our feet… now you are a big boy,” he said, warning that political positions are temporary.
He added that individuals in power should not assume their current positions are permanent, stressing that “where you are sitting is not cast in iron or concrete.”
The former MP also accused some officials of behaving in ways he described as “wickedness in high places,” warning that such attitudes could eventually backfire politically and legally.
He further cautioned that those in authority today could one day face scrutiny, adding that no one in power is beyond accountability.
Drawing from his own political experience, Mr. Adu Asare reminded appointees that political office is temporary and often isolating once power changes hands, as allies tend to shift loyalty to incoming leadership.
He advised current officials to remain humble and respectful, noting that tomorrow’s political reality could place them in positions where they must seek the same audiences they currently overlook.
