National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Women’s Organiser aspirant, Seyram Betty Krosbi Mensah, has congratulated Dr. Pamela Graham on her appointment as Ghana’s first female Auditor-General, describing the milestone as a victory for women and a testament to merit, competence and leadership.
President John Dramani Mahama appointed Dr. Graham and sworn into office on Thursday, July 2, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra, becoming Ghana’s first female Auditor-General and the 11th person to hold the constitutional office.
During the swearing-in ceremony, President Mahama described the appointment as a historic milestone and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to transparency, accountability and the prudent management of public resources.
In a statement following Dr. Graham’s swearing-in by President John Dramani Mahama, Mrs. Krosbi Mensah said the appointment marked a defining moment in Ghana’s history and expressed confidence in the new Auditor-General’s ability to excel in office.
She noted that Dr. Graham’s appointment as the 11th Auditor-General and the first woman to occupy the constitutional office demonstrates that women are capable of leading key state institutions when given the opportunity.
“This appointment is more than a personal triumph; it is a resounding statement. Women are capable. Women are competent. And when women are empowered and given the opportunity, they lead with excellence and distinction,” she said.
Mrs. Krosbi Mensah also commended President Mahama for what she described as the continued implementation of the Affirmative Action Act through appointments that promote greater female representation in leadership.
“Under President Mahama’s leadership, we continue to witness the practical implementation of the Affirmative Action Act, opening doors that once seemed permanently closed to women. Today, we celebrate our first female Auditor-General,” she added.
According to her, Dr. Graham’s appointment serves as an inspiration to women and girls across Ghana, proving that hard work, competence and merit are recognised and rewarded.
She expressed confidence that the new Auditor-General would strengthen transparency and accountability in public administration, adding, “Dr. Graham, as you step into this weighty responsibility, I have no doubt that you will leave an indelible footprint on the Office of the Auditor-General and on our nation’s journey toward greater transparency and accountability.”
