After rating ministers, deputy ministers and managing directors/CEOs of the Akufo-Addo-led government, Mr Boakye-Appiah emerged as the Most Outstanding Performer in the 2018 Managing Directors/CEOs category.

The Public Relations Officer of the association, Mr Elikem Sewordor, said the rating was based on the performance of the government appointees, taking into consideration their leadership style, accessibility and support to the grass roots.

“We are always in touch with the grass roots and the feedback we are picking is that they are happy the ‘dumsor’ period is now a thing of the past. Dumsor was one of the main campaign messages we used and we are happy it has been resolved through the leadership of Mr Boakye-Appiah,” he said.
