I will not tolerate acts of disloyalty under my Presidency – Akufo-Addo to Appointees

President Akufo-Addo has admonished his Deputy Ministers of State against actions that have the potential to undermine the work of the substantive Ministers.

At the swearing-in of the Deputy Ministers of the ten regions at the Flagstaff House, the President stated that he will not tolerate any acts of disloyalty, saying that such attitude will be taken as disloyalty to him.

According to him, their first responsibility, is to support the work of the Regional Ministers.

He added: “Loyalty to the Minister is the fundamental premise of the success of your work. I will not countenance any acts of disloyalty or subversion of your Minister, for I will take such an act as disloyalty to me personally in that reference, disloyalty to the party and to the state. You’ll not profit from such conduct in Akufo-Addo’s Presidency.”

Parliament last week approved the 10 Deputy Regional Ministers appointed by the President.

This was after their screening by the Appointments Committee.

They were approved by consensus.
