President of the Republic, William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged his newly 22 appointed Ministers to leave a mark in their respective ministries despite the limited time left for his administration to elapse.
The President says he has done considerably well during his over 7 years in office and has charged the new ministers to also add their quota to consolidate the legacy of his administration.
He made the remarks at the Jubilee House Monday, May 20, 2024, whilst swearing-in the new appointees.
“You have joined the government at the last lap of its mandate, with seven months to go but I am confident that there is enough time for you to make a difference and significant contribution. Indeed anyone who has something to prove can make a point within a short period and I am sure with your various competencies, experiences, and talents make this distinctly possible,” he said.
He reminded them that whatever legacy they leave in their respective outfits would not only project the image of the current administration but also the New Patriotic Party and its fortunes in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary polls.
He said “your contribution will not only be to the success of my government but also equally important to the success of our party, the NPP, its excellent presidential candidate, Vice President Dr Mahamdu Bawumia, and its parliamentary candidates in the 2024 December elections. To this end, the quality of integrity which will permeate your work in these last few months is extremely important.”
“We are called to these public appointments to provide public service not to appropriate personal gain. Do not, in this regard, fail to file your asset declaration promptly and remain above reproach in your public dealings, your conduct, my conduct, our collective conduct in the executive will determine, to a large extent, the fate and fortunes of our party in the NPP in this and succeeding decades,” he urged.
