Special Aide to President John Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari has stressed the importance of delivering tangible results to the people, asserting that citizens expect their president to meet their needs and expectations.
According to her, "something great is happening for the nation," recounting some of the incidents that took place before and after the inauguration of President John Mahama.
“Something great is happening for Ghana, just look at the first week in office; even before he was sworn into office, we had conversations about ORAL [Operation Recover All Loot]. You see, not every action should necessarily be cast in law,” she said.
Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, January 11, with Samson Lardy, Madam Mogtari revealed that “Funnily enough, some of the outcomes will interest you."
"Some people who have actually bought lands that were assets belonging to the state are now saying that those assets should be returned to the state, that they are actually no longer interested in pursuing the purchases.”
Describing the findings of the committee responsible for the operation [ORAL] as heartwarming and epic, she noted that most of these assets were inherited several years ago, and therefore, sees no reason why an administration should literally partition them, alleging that they are being allocated only to party affiliates.
Madam Mogtari further highlighted that the public is increasingly focused on leadership that produces meaningful outcomes, rather than mere promises.
“People want to see a president deliver to their satisfaction,” she stated, underlining the demand for accountable and results-driven leadership.
She also mentioned that, “For the very first time, we have an inaugural speech that had no slogans, that actually reflected the reality of what is at hand, that spoke about a very difficult economic environment, that spoke to the challenges and hardship of the ordinary Ghanaian citizen.”
Madam Mogtari expressed hope in the John Mahama-led administration, citing the words of President John Mahama.
“One thing that I took away from this beautiful speech is the fact that it actually, in many ways, restores enormous hope. We can dream again, Mr Mahama said, we can hope again, Mr Mahama said, We can look forward to a leader who will do things and do them differently,” she stated.
