Good morning to you all.
This is a very humbling and profound moment in my life, and I stand before you with a heart full of gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility.
First and foremost, I express my sincere and profound appreciation to His Excellency, the President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama, for the honour and confidence reposed in me through my nomination as the Municipal Chief Executive.
I am also immensely thankful to the Honourable Assembly Members, whose 100% confirmation of my nomination is a clear call for inclusive leadership and service. I want to tell you that, I whole-heartedly embrace this call as it challenges me to remain transparent and consultative in all my endeavours.
This gesture is not only a personal honour but a call to dedicated service — a call I accept with humility, loyalty, and a firm commitment to the development of our Municipality in a manner that advances the President’s broader RESETTING Agenda.
I am equally grateful to the Honourable Regional Minister and the team from the RCC for your prompt attendance. Hon. Regional Minister, by the grace of God, Krowor will become one less Municipality you have to worry about – a firm assurance I can give you on behalf of all my stakeholders.
To our revered Traditional Leaders, Nananom, I say a special thank you. Your wisdom, blessings, and continuous support are critical pillars for peace, unity, and progress in our communities. I look forward to working closely with you to harness our collective strengths for the benefit of our people.
To the Honourable Member of Parliament for Krowor Constituency/Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection I express my deepest appreciation to you. I commit to work closely with you, as I have done in the past, for the advancement of our Municipality.
I thank the Party Chairman, Constituency Executives, Branch executives and the entire membership for their steadfast support and encouragement. I pledge to work together with you, to put the past behind us, chart a new course towards building strong structures that will ensure that development reaches every corner of our Municipality.
To the good people of Krowor Municipality — my true employers — I express my heartfelt gratitude. Your aspirations, your challenges, and your hopes will be at the centre of my work. I pledge to lead with humility, in honesty, be responsive and attentive to your needs. To the youth, get ready, this is our time. I am aware of the commendable effort of the MP in the first term and presently, to aggressively address youth unemployment. I can confidently assure that working closely with the Member of Parliament, many more Jobs will come.
I cannot conclude without acknowledging and paying respects to the hardworking team at the Krowor Municipal Assembly, the gallant men divisional & municipal police command and the electoral commission. Our work has just begun, and I look forward to chalking many significant feats working in close concert with you.
Today, as I accept this great responsibility, I am reminded that leadership is service. I do not take this trust lightly. Together, with God’s guidance and the collective effort of all stakeholders, we will build the Krowor We All Want Together.
