President John Mahama has announced that government appointees will not be allowed to travel first class.
According to him, his administration will be defined by modesty and respect for the Ghanaian people.
He made this statement during the swearing-in of ministers at the Jubilee House on Friday, February 7, 2025.
The President revealed that he has instructed the Chief of Staff to formally notify ministers and government appointees about an immediate ban on non-essential travel to reduce government expenditure.
“Any travel that is deemed essential and necessary must be cleared first with the Office of the Chief of Staff and such travels will have to be taken in modesty no first class,” he said.
He further stressed that there would be no room for arrogance or pomposity in his administration.
"The resources you will be working with belong to the Ghanaian people who put us in office," he stated, warning that these resources must not be wasted on extravagance or luxury.
