President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his call for ministers to work towards improving the living conditions of Ghanaians.
He reminded his appointees that they were not in office merely to wield power, but to deliver on their mandates and address the pressing issues facing the country.
Speaking at the Executive Leadership Retreat in Ada on Thursday, April 24, Mahama stressed that this term—his final in office—is a legacy one, and he intends to make it count.
The President also urged his ministers to ensure the prudent use of state resources to provide value and meet public expectations.
“This is my legacy term. I intend to make it count. I issue this challenge to each of you to lead your sectors with vision and integrity, champion innovation, make decisions based on facts and data, and not on guesswork,” Mahama said.
“You were not appointed to occupy space. You were appointed to solve problems. The Ghanaian people expect us to deliver—not with excuses, but with results.
“Spend public funds wisely and judiciously. Reject opulence. And never forget: your first duty is to the people of Ghana—not your political survival, not the applause, and not official gain,” he added.
