”I have authority to execute my beliefs within my mandate” – Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that he holds the authority to carry out his beliefs and programmes within the context of the mandate given to him by Ghanaians.

“I have the authority to carry out my beliefs and my programmes within the context of the mandate that the Ghanaian people gave me on 7th Decembe.”

He said this when Professor Emmanuel Gyima-Boadi, the Executive Director of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD), led a delegation of Civil Society Organisations (CSO’s) to declared support for government’s decision to set up the Office of Special Prosecutor at the flagstaff house.

The CSO’s also noted with concern what they describe as the ambiguity in the detailing of the draft legislation on how the Office would deal with corruption, particularly those involving public office holders and expressed concern that the process for its establishment may take too long.

President Akufo-Addo noted that his government has an opportunity to build a much stronger, a more durable system of governance, which, hopefully, deal with the issues of poverty in the country and build a society where the young Ghanaian can see his future here in Ghana and put his energies, creativity, sense of enterprise in that undertaking.

President Akufo-Addo, applauded the untiring efforts of the CSO’s at promoting good governance and assured them that their valuable inputs would be brought to bear on the processes to make the nation a better place.
