The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has issued a stern warning to all government appointees, emphasising that their diligent performance is essential to upholding President John Dramani's reputation among Ghanaians.

Speaking at the launch of the new Code of Conduct on Monday, May 5, 2025, Debrah made it clear that every action taken by an appointee impacts the public image of the entire administration.

He drew an analogy between running the government and managing a boarding school, explaining that just as schools rely on strict checks, balances, and discipline to function effectively, government operations also demand unwavering accountability.

According to him, there would be no excuses for negligence, insisting that underperforming appointees would be held strictly responsible for their actions.

He also urged government officials to comply with the newly introduced Code of Conduct by President John Dramani Mahama, warning that breaches will not be tolerated.

“I will encourage each and every one of you, once you get your copy, to study it just like your Bible, because there shall never be any excuse whatsoever when you cross the line.

“The only time you will not be able to reach the president is when we are about removing you. I wish we are never going to have that bad experience of removing any one of you. But don’t forget that if you play ignorance, it’s never an excuse,” he noted.

He also stated that; “On that note, I wish you all the best, do your best; let's make the president look good in the eyes of Ghanaians."

The Code of Conduct is part of ongoing efforts by the Mahama-led administration to promote good governance and integrity in public office.
