President Akufo-Addo swears in Otiko Djaba, et al as Ministers

President Nana Akufo-Addo on Tuesday sworn in the second batch of ministers at the Flagstaff House.

Addressing the new appointees, President Akufo-Addo asked the ministers to immediately declare their assets.

According to him, the declaration will boost public confidence in the Ministers.

“You are now public officials which means that you are leading members of the public service… It is a calling; a noble one which has to be discharged with honesty, sincerity and humility.

Some 11 days ago I swore into office, the first batch of Ministers of the Akufo Addo presidency. I made a speech on that occasion which I recommend to each of you, especially the need for rapid compliance with the requirements of asset declaration. I believe that virtually everything I have to say on this occasion can be found in that speech, which I hope you will read,” the President said at a short swearing-in ceremony.
