President John Dramani Mahama  has cautioned government appointees against complacency, reminding them that authority is not permanent and must be exercised with humility, empathy, and a deep sense of responsibility to the people.

He delivered the message at his First Anniversary Non-Denominational Thanksgiving Service at the forecourt of the Jubilee House on Wednesday, January 7.

According to the President, Thanksgiving should go beyond expressions of gratitude and translate into a renewed commitment to ethical governance, national unity, and service to the vulnerable.

He noted that the year ahead would test the resolve, patience, and discipline of those in leadership, even as it presents opportunities to deepen reforms and accelerate national development.

He emphasised that leadership is a fleeting trust, calling on appointees to recommit themselves to selfless service for the common good of Ghanaians

“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.
