Do good to all manner of persons and do your best to be part of the success stories of anyone that crosses your path, as to how they pay you back, leave that to posterity and to their own conscience!!!

It was a remarkable Wednesday as the Western regional youth wing of the party welcomed the national Youth wing led by Commander @georgeoaddo, Deputy Commander @o_ayariga , and National TEIN coordinator Mohammed Sadiq Gombilla.

The opportunity to listen to them reaffirm the party's mission resonated deeply, emphasizing the need to ensure the party's success and champion the Reset Agenda, the primary reason Ghanaians voted for the NDC.

Dear Ghanaians, we assure you that we are working diligently to deliver on our promises.

When galamsey was killing people and doctors were called out to strike, they declined.
Today they are striking over government suspending its own appointee.

@Manasseh_Azure, let this make sense to the general public, the deliberate mischievous is too much.

Patient safety, accountability, and quality healthcare must always come first. The Ministry of Health has outlined its position and remains committed to strengthening healthcare delivery across Ghana. 🇬🇭 #KATH #Healthcare #GhanaHealthService

PUBLIC OFFICE, PUBLIC TRUST

I support recognising public officials who perform their duties well and make a meaningful difference in the lives of Ghanaians. Public service demands sacrifice, commitment, and leadership. When public officials deliver exceptional results, we should acknowledge and celebrate their contributions.

However, I am concerned about the standards that govern such recognition.

Citizens place confidence in government when public officials act with integrity and exercise sound judgement. For this reason, we must address not only actual conflicts of interest but also situations that create the perception of impropriety.

The current debate surrounding the Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Awards is not simply about those who attended the event or those who received awards. Rather, we should ask a more important question: should public officials receive awards from events that solicit sponsorships or financial contributions from the institutions they supervise or lead? This is an ethical question that must be settled.

Public officials should be recognised on the basis of performance, measurable outcomes, and genuine impact. Public recognition should never be linked, directly or indirectly, to financial contributions. When organisers seek sponsorship from institutions and subsequently honour officials from those same institutions, they create legitimate concerns about fairness, independence, and credibility. Even where no wrongdoing has occurred, such arrangements can weaken public trust and diminish the value of genuine excellence.

Professor Michael Kpessah-White has publicly alleged that organisers requested payment in connection with an award nomination. Another public sector Chief Executive Officer privately shared a similar experience with me and chose not to participate in the event after organisers made financial demands. These allegations raise serious concerns and warrant careful scrutiny.

I also wish to correct a few misconceptions.

First, the State did not organise these awards. They were organised by a private event management company.

Second, this was not the inaugural edition of the awards. Public officials under the previous administration also participated in and sponsored these events. However, we cannot justify a practice simply because others engaged in it before us. We criticised many of these practices in the past because we believed they weakened accountability and encouraged mediocrity. We should not defend them today.

Ghanaians elected this government on a promise of reform. They expect us to uphold higher standards, strengthen public institutions, and demonstrate a clear departure from practices that undermine public confidence. We cannot advance a Reset Agenda while tolerating conduct that raises avoidable ethical concerns.

Following my engagement with the Deputy Chief of Staff, Hon. Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, she assured me that the government would develop a regulatory framework to guide the Corporate Social Responsibility activities of State-Owned Enterprises. I understand that the committee responsible for this work has already commenced its task. I welcome this initiative and hope it delivers clear standards that promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.

We hold public office in trust for the people of Ghana. We must therefore conduct ourselves in ways that strengthen public confidence in our institutions. We should recognise excellence on merit, reward performance fairly, and reject practices that cast doubt on the integrity of public service.

Ghanaians will judge the Reset Agenda not by our rhetoric but by the policies we implement and the standards we uphold. If we are to build lasting public trust, we must lead by example and hold ourselves to the same principles we demanded of those who came before us.

I conclude by saying; MAY WE NOT BECOME WHAT WE CRITICIZED !!!!

As if you are unaware that a government appointee can be suspended by the same government that appointed him. So what exactly does his suspension have to do with the alleged silencing of health professionals?
You constantly create the impression that people are not free to speak in this country simply because you are unable to advance your usual agenda. Whenever events do not align with your preferred narrative, you are quick to paint a negative picture.
Let's be serious and focus on the facts rather than forcing conclusions that have no connection to the situation at hand.

Don't scapegoat the KATH CEO. Fix the mess. Silencing health professionals won't solve the problem.

[Joseph Mensah @HonJM_Safety]

@KMAkandoh should make sure that any of those health professionals who absent themselves from work do not get paid, or else we will all join hands to demonstrate against him. The pampering is too much.

[Joseph Mensah @HonJM_Safety]

And when the appointee is reassigned to a different sector, quit your job as a health professional and follow them there. Let's get serious in this country.

[Joseph Mensah @HonJM_Safety]

A government appointee is suspended and you say you're going on strike?
Let’s get serious in this country.
