Caution

Speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" programme, Kwesi Pratt cautioned the Ministers not to lord themselves over the people they are to serve and misbehave in their various offices.

He reminded them of their service to Ghanaians and requested that they think themselves not wiser than Ghanaians.

Mr. Pratt advised the Ministers to put the interest of Ghana first and execute their duties effectively.

"Don't think because we have made you Ministers, you've become tarzan today. Nobody is tarzan. They shouldn't think they are wiser than all Ghanaians, for there are many intelligent Ghanaians who are not Ministers and some who won't even accept ministerial appointment. So, they should work hard to bring about development; they must do a good work to leave a good legacy," he stated.
