President John Dramani Mahama has called for renewed responsibility in Ghana. He made these remarks during an address to the nation on the occasion of the 69th Independence Day.
The President highlighted that true independence comes with the duty of responsibility. Ghanaians must embrace this alongside their freedom.
He specifically pointed to national life and the management of natural resources. These areas, he believes, require a stronger sense of accountability.
Mahama stated that a re-establishment of responsibility is needed. This applies to both how citizens conduct themselves and how the country's resources are handled.
The President's message focused on the link between freedom and the obligations that come with it.
