The Knights of Marshall, a catholic friendly society, have installed Sir Knight Brother Joseph Ekow Paintsil as its 30th Supreme Knight.
He takes over from Sir Knight Victor Derx Baffour, who headed the society for two years between 2011 and 2013.
Before Sir Knight Paintsil was installed, Worthy Brother Ernest Amoako-Arhin was elected as the Deputy Supreme Knight of the Knights of Marshall.
He was installed by the Supreme Director, Sir Kt. Bro. Vet. Dr. Cdr Edmund S. K. Kwaw as the Installation Officer; Sir Kt. Cdr. Bro. Lawrence Owusu-Akyaw Prempeh as the Installation Secretary and Sir Kt. Bro. James K. Adomako as Installation Guard.
Sir Kt. Paintsil is the Country Director, West Africa of American Airlines and served both the Catholic Church in Ghana and the Knights of Marshall in various capacities until he was installed last Saturday to lead one of the most influential Catholic societies in the world.
In his acceptance speech, Sir Knight Paintsil reminded members of the Order that they had a crucial role in promoting good governance towards establishing a more just, harmonious and peaceful society.
That, he said, was based on the fact that the Noble Order was made up of influential people in society.
He pledged to expand facilities at the headquarters of the Order and to also deepen the spirituality of members of the Order.
He also promised to work hard to make the Noble Order to become more effective and relevant to contemporary times.
He also pledged to strengthen the administrative and management system of the Order, strengthen fraternal relations among its members, to improve its finances and to energise the Marshallan Relief and Development Services (MAREDES).
Outlining some of the details of the programmes to be pursued during his two-year tenure, Sir Knight Paintsil proposed a computerisation of the finances and database of the Order to strengthen the information management system of the Noble Order and make it more efficient and reliable.
He pledged to streamline the financial contributions and investments of the Order with the view to creating viable financial reserves.
