“You are now high public officials, which means that you are leading members of the public service and public service means exactly that, public service. It is a calling, a noble one, which has to be discharged with honesty, severity and humility.
“The Ghanaian people in their generosity have conferred on us, the New Patriotic Party, and myself (sic), a huge mandate. They have placed squarely their faith in us to engineer the transformation, social and economic circumstances that will lead to their progress and prosperity of our nation,” he said.
Dr Anthony Akoto Osei, Minister of Monitoring & Evaluation, who spoke on behalf of the second batch of ministers, said: “We express our deepest appreciation for the honour you have bestowed on us, and the confidence that reposed in us.
