Mahama warns board chairpersons against taking over executive roles

President John Mahama has charged board chairpersons and chief executives of state institutions to uphold accountability, protect the public interest and ensure that public resources are used to deliver measurable value.

Speaking at the Governing Boards and CEOs Conference, the President said those appointed to lead state institutions must understand that their positions are a public trust and must be guided by competence, integrity and performance.

President Mahama also addressed chief executives, saying executive authority should not be regarded as a personal privilege.
