Chairman for the Council of State, Edward Doe Adjaho has admonished members of the Council to place Ghana first in their scheme of things at all times.
Speaking at an orientation workshop for the Council in Accra on Monday, February 24, 2025, the former speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon Adjaho urged members to play a role that serves the country and not the interest of the political elite.
“Let us endeavour to put Ghana first, upholding the law and ensuring genuine care for people must be paramount in our deliberations when we advise the president of the republic. We must speak the truth to those we advise.
Engage leadership and the people, connect with policy decisions to tackle the challenges facing our democracy. It is the surest way our deliberations at all times can benefit both the government and the Ghanaian public,” he said.
The Council of State Chairman again tasked members of the council to uphold their commitment to serving as the advisory body to the President, John Dramani Mahama, for the development of the country.
Reiterating the mandate of the Council, backed by Article 89 of the 1992 Constitution, Adjaho stressed the need to provide sound insight and recommendations to serve the national interest.
