John Kwadwo Gyapong ministerial vetting age debate response has sparked concerns among Ghanaians as to why the youth are not given roles.
Responding to a question on whether it was time for him to step aside for younger generations, Gyapong stated, “If an 83-year-old can serve as president, I see no issue with a 74-year-old remaining active in leadership.” His statement highlighted the ongoing debate on age and its impact on governance in the country.
Gyapong’s response has since garnered mixed reactions from the public, with some commending his defense as a testament to his continued vitality and ability to contribute meaningfully to national development. Others, however, argue that leadership roles should increasingly prioritize younger generations, ensuring a balance between experience and fresh perspectives. The comment has reignited discussions about age inclusivity in Ghanaian politics and governance.
