President John Evans Atta Mills says for all who think he has proceeded with his prosecution of the national development agenda at an undesirable pace and therefore call him “Go Slow”, must also do him a favour by adding two important words; but sure.
He said So far, the health of the national economy and general well being of the nation since he assumed power has been much better than he inherited and was sure that at the end of his tenure, Ghanaians will vote the National Democratic Congress party back into power.
The President is in Parliament to present, in keeping with Articles 2 and 36 (5) of the 1992 Constitution, a report of steps taken to ensure the realization of national development goals – basic human rights, a healthy economy, the right to work, the right to good health care and the right to education.
Stressing his desire to make informed choices, the president said he will strive to make the right decisions rather than make quick decisions.
He said Ghana’s democratic practice has become an example for African democracy and for which all Ghanaians should be proud.
President Mills welcomed criticisms of his administration and explained that he does not see criticisms as enemy action, but rather as serious alternative views for consideration. None therefore should be taken aback by criticism even by NDC members of their own government just as opposition supporters would do.
He is also happy for the unfettered freedom of speech enjoyed by the citizenry, however he cautioned that it be exercised responsibly.
