President Akufo-Addo says he is open to constructive criticisms in his bid to improve the living standards of Ghanaians. Describing it as part of the work, the President said he is building an open society and a nation that guarantees freedom for all.
President Akufo-Addo said this at a Special Mass organized by the Anglican Church of Ghana.
Bright Ntramah reports that more than 20 Anglican Clergy from across the country led by the Anglican Archbishop of the Internal Province of Ghana and Bishop of Asante Mampong, the Most Reverend Dr. Cyril Ben-Smith, held the service to seek the grace of God for the President and his government as they continue to spearhead the development of the country.
They urged President Akufo-Addo to stay focused on his mandate to govern the country.
In a sermon at the Special Presidential Eucharist Service held at the Banquet Hall of the Jubilee House themed: “launch into the deep”, Most Reverend Dr. Cyril Ben-Smith noted that “regardless of the failures and challenges of the times, Ghanaians must be willing to try again. Using the biblical parable of Jesus and Simon on the sea, he said Ghana has to move forward notwithstanding the challenges and failures brought by the pandemic.
President Akufo-Addo in a brief statement after the service said his administration welcomes criticisms from divergent views.
The Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was present.
Also, in attendance were the first lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo and Children, Chief of Staff and other Senior Members at the Presidency.
