Make a Difference Despite Short Period- President Charges Newly Sworn-In Ministers

In a ceremony at the Jubilee House, Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, yesterday swore in the last batch of ministers, with a charge on them to make a significant contribution despite the short period left.

The newly sworn-in ministers and deputy ministers are expected to work together to make a difference as far as the government’s goals are concerned and serve the people of Ghana with honesty and competence.

The President reminded the appointees that their collective conduct in the executive would determine to a large extent the fate and fortunes of the party.

He emphasized the importance of integrity and transparency, urging them to remain above reproach in their public dealings. The President also cautioned the deputy ministers to always exhibit allegiance to their ministers and not to undermine their authority.

The swearing-in ceremony was attended by dignitaries from various sectors, including the Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and parliamentary candidates from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The President thanked God for the successful outcome of the vetting process, despite the walkout by the Minority Caucus of Parliament.

“We thank God that the walkout was not fatal to the vote of approval. We learn every time more and more about the vagaries of  life,” he said.

The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, expressed their gratitude to the President for the appointment and assured him that they would work hard with integrity to ensure that the President Akufo-Addo government became the best administration.
