According to her, the failure of certain chief executives to deliver on their mandates is undermining the government's efforts to address the region's pressing challenges.

"Let me go straight to say that I am disappointed at the level of inefficiency and complacency exhibited by some of our chief executives. At this stage, excuses are nothing but an embarrassment to the people we serve," she stated.

Linda Ocloo emphasised that leadership is not about occupying office or enjoying the perks of a position, but about delivering results.

"Leadership is not about sitting in offices and enjoying the perks of your position. It is about delivering results, and right now, many of you are simply sleeping on the job," she stated.

The minister added that there is the need for accountability and efficiency in governance.
