Daniella Mawusi Ntow Sarpong, the new Chief Fire Officer (CFO), Ghana National Fire Service, has pledged to be a mother for all to ensure the effective service delivery by fire officers. "Trust me when I declare that I will be a mother for all.
Being a mother means the simultaneous nurturing of rewarding diligence and zero tolerance for all forms of indiscipline and laziness," she said. "What separates the Fire Service we have now from the one we desire is our exclusive devotion to the call to duty." Ntow Sarpong said this in her acceptance speech during a handing-over ceremony, organised by the GNFS on Monday in Accra.
She took over from Julius Kuunuor, the outgoing Chief Fire Officer. "Now more than ever, I am ready to operate an open and transparent administration as we collectively fight the fire and its disastrous consequences," the new CFO said.
She gave the assurance that the welfare of personnel would be of paramount interest to leadership, as Service could only stand strong when employee welfare was prioritised.
