President John Dramani Mahama has assured that his administration would set irreversible high standards to raise the bar of governance for future governments.President Mahama noted that effective leadership must be at the core of governments if the country was to make any meaningful prog­ress.According to him, that effective leadership his government had brought to bear, not sloganeering, was already yielding results to cush­ion Ghanaians from the economic hardships to start with.Responding to claims by the for­mer Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, that his government had not introduced any policy to take credit for the steady appreciation of the Ghana Cedi against major trad­ing currencies, President Mahama said effective leadership was behind the economic gains being seen."It is not about one policy.

The answer is effective leadership.

With effective leadership, we can turn this economy around and create a better life for our people."That is what I'm committed to.

To ensure that by the time we finish this four years, we'll set high standard that whichever party comes to power cannot reverse the gains that would have been made in restoring our peoples confidence in the democracy", President Mahama stressed.He gave this assurance in Accra on Friday when the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference called on him at the Presidency.Moreover, President Mahama stated that the responsibility to reset Ghana as he preached to the electorate ahead of the 2024 polls was not lost on him and that he remained focus on delivering that.He acknowledged that there was waning confidence in the democrat­ic path the country had chosen but his government would work hard to restore the trust in the system."Ghanaians have bought into the message that I would be able to reset things.
