Don't Fail President Mahama - Otumfuo Warns Gov't Appointees Against Corruption

Accra, Ghana - 04 June, 2025 - The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has issued a stern reminder to government appointees under President John Dramani Mahama's administration to uphold the highest standards of integrity and dedication in their roles.

During a courtesy call at the Jubilee House on June 2, Otumfuo emphasized that the appointees' performance would not only reflect on the president but also on the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The Asantehene's advice comes as a reminder to government appointees of the weight of responsibility they carry as representatives of the president and the government. He stressed that Ghanaians have entrusted the country to President Mahama, and it is their duty to support him in delivering good governance. "Don't lose sight of your responsibilities. Ghanaians have entrusted the country to President John Mahama. He, in turn, has entrusted and assigned responsibilities to you because he trusts you—so do not fail him," Otumfuo declared.

The Asantehene emphasized that President Mahama has a zero-tolerance policy on corruption and encouraged appointees to support this stance. He noted that the president has made it clear that there is no room for corruption in his government, and appointees must support him diligently to ensure the success of his administration. "He has already made it clear: if you are here to loot, there is no place for that in his government. But if you support him diligently, Ghanaians will recognise his performance, and it will bring honour to the NDC and to Ghana as a whole," Otumfuo cautioned.

The Asantehene advised the appointees to serve with honesty and modesty, noting that their dedication would define the administration's legacy.

“Focus on your duties with truth and humility,” he advised.
