'Put public interest first' - Akufo-Addo tells ministers

Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony of the third batch of his ministers on Friday, the president also charged them not to lord themselves over Ghanaians.

He urged them to see their "ministerial appointment as an avenue for service to our people and nation, service which should be discharged with humility.

"It is not meant to allow you to lord it over the citizenry," he added.

"The second is the requirement of integrity in the exercise of your function. You are here to advance the public interest, not your personal fortune.
