President Akufo-Addo Swears in Final Batch of Ministers, Urges Significant Impact

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo yesterday swore into office what could best be described as the last batch of ministers, with a charge on them to make a difference despite the short period left.

“I am confident that there is enough time for you to make a difference and significant contribution. Indeed, anyone who has something to prove can make a point within a short period and I am sure that your various competencies, experiences, and talents make this distinctly possible,” he added.

President Akufo-Addo administered the oaths of Allegiance, Office, and Secrecy, presenting each of the 10 ministers of state and 14 deputy ministers with an instrument of office, adorned in the red, gold, and green national colours.

He reminded them that the success of their work would lead to the successes of his government, that of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and the parliamentary candidates in the 2024 polls.

The President highlighted the importance of their integrity and the quality of their work in these final months, emphasizing the government's commitment to serving Ghanaians with honesty and competence.

Assets Declaration

President Akufo-Addo reminded the ministers of their constitutional mandate to declare their assets promptly and remain above reproach in their public dealings, noting that their collective conduct would significantly influence the fate and fortunes of the party.

Ceremony at Jubilee House

During the swearing-in ceremony at Jubilee House, the President advised the newly appointed ministers not to forget that the political atmosphere was marked by some unhealthy comments, and even their most innocent actions could be misinterpreted and given sinister motives.

“Ignore the fabricators and their fabrications and the naysayers. Remain resolute and focus on our collective objective to serve the Ghanaian people to the best of our abilities and leave the rest to God, to history, and to the judgment of the good people of Ghana,” President Akufo-Addo added.

Caution to Deputy Ministers

The President urged the deputy ministers to exhibit allegiance to their ministers, stressing that their primary duty was to support their ministers as they were appointed by the President for this purpose. He warned that any deputy minister who sought to advance by undermining their minister would be mistaken, as such conduct would not be rewarded.

President Akufo-Addo expressed disappointment that the Minority Caucus of Parliament, despite participating in all vetting processes, boycotted the final approval through a walkout of Parliament.
