Addressing the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), on Sunday, 12 January 2025, the President reminded Ghanaians that public service is a demanding responsibility, not an avenue for complacency.
“Those appointed to public office must understand that they will be held accountable to the highest ethical and professional benchmarks,” President Mahama stated.
“If you are among those submitting CVs, be aware that this will not be an easy task. It certainly won’t be business as usual.”
He emphasised the critical role of integrity and accountability in governance, pointing out that public officials are custodians of the nation’s resources and trust.
