Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has issued a firm call to government appointees under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration to remain committed, honest, and focused in their duties, warning that their actions reflect directly on the President and the nation.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to Jubilee House on Monday, the Asante monarch reminded ministers and officials that they carry not only the trust of the President but also the expectations of the Ghanaian people.
“Don’t lose sight of your responsibilities,” the Asantehene said. “Ghanaians have entrusted the country to President John Mahama. He, in turn, has entrusted and assigned responsibilities to you because he trusts you, so do not fail him.”
He praised President Mahama’s stance on anti-corruption, reiterating that public service must be about duty, not personal gain.
“He has already made it clear: if you are here to loot, there is no place for that in his government,” Otumfuo cautioned. “But if you support him diligently, Ghanaians will recognise his performance, and it will bring honour to the NDC and to Ghana as a whole.”
The revered traditional leader urged the appointees to lead with humility, integrity, and a sense of purpose, noting that their individual commitment would collectively shape the legacy of the administration.
“Focus on your duties with truth and humility,” he advised.
Otumfuo’s visit to the seat of government comes at a time when calls for transparency and accountability in public service continue to grow louder. His message served as both a reminder and a warning, as Ghana navigates a complex political and economic landscape under President Mahama’s leadership.
