Eugene Boakye Antwi is the former MP for Subin
The former Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has stated that he has grown fearful of human beings as a result of certain appointments made by President John Dramani Mahama in the current administration.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Boakye Antwi expressed concern over what he described as the hypocritical nature of certain individuals whom he claims once presented themselves as neutral and openly criticised the former New Patriotic Party (NPP)-led government.
He lamented that these same individuals have now been appointed to positions in the current ruling government.
“President Mahama’s recent appointment has made me become fearful of humans even more. Human beings are dangerous because some of these people are the same ones who strongly criticised the former NPP government but have now been appointed by the government,” the former lawmaker said.
Boakye Antwi shared the view that individuals who have now secured appointments in the current government, despite being vocal critics under the previous administration, were motivated by personal interests rather than national concern.
He argued that their actions, which appeared patriotic at the time, were self-serving.
“It was all about their interests. When the DDEP issue came up, Dr Adu Anane Antwi spoke massively about it, but right now, do you know he has received an appointment as the Board Chairman of the Exchange and Securities Commission (SEC)? The problem is that all these people touted themselves as neutrals who were criticising the former government over the poor governance, not knowing they had ulterior motives,” he strongly chastised.
The politician added that if he were in the shoes of such individuals, he would not have accepted the appointments, as doing so could compromise their integrity and damage their reputation.
“If I were one of such persons who acted like a neutral and criticised the government, I wouldn’t have accepted the appointment. They all had their personal interests, not because they had the country’s interest at heart.”
