President Nana Akufo-Addo has charged his regional ministers to carry out their duties with a mindset of service and humility.<\/p>\n
During the swearing in of the regional ministers after their approval by Parliament Friday evening, President Akufo-Addo urged them to ensure a good relationship with Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), other civil servants and traditional leaders in their various regions.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”WeqyrosS5bHscxaEfULFqtCLcoHpnwFC”]\u201cHumility and the readiness to serve are the most important ingredients that will guarantee your success,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n
In his address, he reminded the ministers that they were to be his representatives in their various regions, and that they were going to be responsible for the effective running of the administrative machinery in their regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe net effect of these constitutional provisions is that, you are the face and body, the eyes and ears of the president in your regions. You have to project my vision, my values, my policy and my spirit in your regions. These are all embodied in the manifesto of the New Patriotic Party.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo also implored them to declare their assets as he had done with the previous ministers he had sworn into office.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have given a pledge to our people that we will be honest in our dealings with the public purse entrusted to our care, and we will have to live up to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI must also, in conclusion, thank the Speaker and members of parliament for the speedy manner in which they are fulfilling their constitutional duties in approving my nominees. It is a good demonstration of the spirit of cooperation of the executive which I want to make a hallmark of my presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n
