President John Agyekum Kufuor yesterday repeated his resolve to continue to work hard till his last day in office to improve the situation of Ghanaians.
Ministers of State would therefore have to play their expected parts well, he said when he swore in Mr Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, Minister of State, Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, and Ms. Vicky Bright, a Deputy Minister at the Office of the President, at the Castle, Osu.
President Kufuor, speaking after administering to them the Oaths of Allegiance, Office and Secrecy, called for total loyalty. To Mr Mensah-Bonsu, he said he should make sure that Government's business was not delayed or frustrated by Parliament.
He should make sure that both sides 'come along' with Government for passage of Bills into laws and smooth conduct of the business of state. Turning to the Deputy Minister, President Kufuor, asked her to work around the clock and be above doubt and speculation.
He said as a liaison between the President and the Attorney-General, she should be alert to any matters that might have escaped the office of the Government's Chief Legal Adviser and slipped to his Office.
Mr Mensah-Bonsu pledged that they would do their best to justify their inclusion and help to move the Government's development agenda forward.
