[contextly_sidebar id=”jqkbCyzquNz4UMqHNJYUFQxtzba5EhTL”]Speaking at the official launch of the campaign, the District Governor of Rotary International, Sam Worentetu described as worrying the increasing phenomenon of lack of respect for time in the country.<\/p>\n
According to him, this situation was getting noticed by many people in and outside the country and that did not auger well for Ghana\u2019s image.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst all these and several other acts occur in Ghanaian society every day, we often are given to lamentations with very little else. This is because it is the most powerful in society who are in the offending group and not too many people or organisations will want to rub such people in the wrong way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The South Korean Ambassador to Ghana, H.E Lyeo Woon-Ki who was the special guest of honour at the event urged Ghanaians to work hard to ensure punctuality and be \u201cmasters of their own time\u201d, as the effective use of time has a direct influence on the nation\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
According to him, his country was able to develop through the \u201ceffective use of resources including time, under the right leadership\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was once a time when we had a phrase like \u201cKorean time\u201d if that is now gone, then the term \u201cGhana time\u201d can also be a thing of the past\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n
A former Rotary International Director, Sam Okudzeto who officially launched the campaign\u2019s new logo and slogan \u201cBe On Time, All The Time\u201d urged the thousands of Rotarians across the country to be the pacesetters of the project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He said, it must be a conscious effort by the people to stay on time.<\/p>\n
Activities planned to promote the project include advocacy and publicity campaigns on various media and public platforms.<\/p>\n
