According to him, their appointments came at a crucial juncture in Ghana’s history and they must commit themselves to advancing the general welfare of the populace.
President Akufo-Addo pointed out that though they had joined the last lap of the mandate of his administration, he was confident that “there is enough time to make a difference and significant contribution to the development of our nation.”
“Your various competencies, experience and talents make this distinctly possible,” he said and urged them to help ensure that the country got back to the years of high economic growth, which characterized the period before the outbreak of COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“To this end, I remind you that the quality of integrity that would permeate your work is extremely important.
“You have to remember at all times the solemn commitment that we in the New Patriotic Party have made collectively and individually to serve the Ghanaian people honestly and competently,” he said.
The President asked the ministers to swiftly disclose their assets and conduct themselves in a way that would not bring them into disrepute.
“We are called to these public appointments to provide public service and not to promote our personal gain…Your conduct, my conduct, our collective conduct in the Executive would determine the faith and fortunes of our party in these and succeeding decades,” he stressed.
