President John Dramani Mahama has cautioned government appointees against complacency, emphasising that the authority they currently hold is transient and should be wielded with humility, empathy, and a profound sense of accountability to the populace.
During his message at the First Anniversary Non-Denominational Thanksgiving Service at the Jubilee House forecourt on Wednesday, January 7, he underscored that the occasion should transcend mere expressions of gratitude, instead serving as a catalyst for renewed dedication to ethical governance, national unity, and service to vulnerable populations.
President Mahama noted that the forthcoming year would challenge the resolve, patience, and discipline of leaders.
“Let us move forward with humility, let us lead with empathy, and let us govern with courage. My brothers and sisters, the year ahead will demand even more from us. It will test our resolve, patience, and discipline.
It will also offer us opportunities. Opportunities to deepen the reforms we have started, to accelerate our growth and ensure development and progress touch every part of our country. Let us never forget that leadership is stewardship. It is temporary and fleeting. Authority is a fleeting trust held on behalf of the people,” he stated.
