President Kufuor swears in two new Ministers
Accra, Feb. 15, Ghanadot/GNA - President
John Agyekum Kufuor on Friday repeated his resolve to
continue to work hard till his last day in office to improve
the situation of Ghanaians.
Ministers of State would therefore have to play their
expected parts well, he said when he swore in Mr. Osei Kyei
Mensah-Bonsu, Minister of State, Ministry of Parliamentary
Affairs, and Ms. Vicky Bright, a Deputy Minister at the
Office of the President, at the Castle, Osu.
President Kufuor, speaking after administering to them the
Oaths of Allegiance, Office and Secrecy, called for total
loyalty.
To Mr. Mensah-Bonsu, he said he should make sure that
Government's business was not delayed or frustrated by
Parliament.
He should make sure that both sides "come along" with
Government for passage of Bills into laws and smooth conduct
of the business of state.
Turning to the Deputy Minister, President Kufuor, asked her
to work around clock and be above doubt and speculation.
He said as a liaison between the President and the
Attorney-General, she should be alert to any matters that
might have escaped the office of the Government's Chief
Legal Adviser and slipped to his Office.
Mr Mensah-Bonsu pledged that they would do their best to
justify their inclusion and help to move the Government's
development agenda forward.
