President-elect John Dramani Mahama has issued a caution to potential appointees, urging them to refrain from seeking positions in his upcoming administration if they are not committed to serving the public interest.
“People who are considering themselves for various positions … and I just want to warn them, it is not going to be a walk in the park. If you are not prepared to work and serve the people of Ghana, diligently, with modesty and humility, then do not come. Just stay where you are”.
Speaking during his thanksgiving service at the Assemblies of God Church in Accra, John Mahama asserted that the outcome of the election was a reminder of the citizenry’s power in determining who becomes a leader.
“We have grown in arrogance and selfishness and we have believed that the power that we wield over the people belongs to us and did not recognize that it was God who gave it to us temporarily.
“God has made us know that power belongs to the people. It should serve as a lesson to those of us who are coming into government.”
