President has reiterated his commitment to accountability and responsible leadership, urging public officials to recognize the weight of the trust placed in them by the people.
Speaking during an engagement with the Ghanaian community in Ethiopia on Monday, February 17, 2025, he emphasized that those in leadership must lead by example and be willing to answer to the citizens they serve. "Those of us in leadership must lead by example.
We must be prepared to be held accountable for the public trust," President Mahama stated. "If you accept a role in the public sector, then you must be prepared to answer to the people because it is the people who put you there.
You serve at their pleasure." He acknowledged the excitement surrounding new appointments but cautioned that every public office comes with significant responsibility. "Everybody is excited and running-'Have you got a green letter from the president?' The green letter comes.
