The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, has issued a strong warning to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in the region, expressing deep dissatisfaction with what she described as their inefficiency, complacency, and lack of commitment to delivering results.
Speaking during a media engagement organised by the Regional Coordinating Council and the 29 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to review their activities, Ms. Ocloo stated that the lack of seriousness among some executives is undermining the reset agenda championed by President John Dramani Mahama.
“I want to get straight to the point and say I am extremely disappointed with the inefficiency and complacency exhibited by many of our chief executives. At this stage, excuses are nothing but an embarrassment to the people we serve,” the Minister stressed.
Ms. Ocloo reminded the executives that leadership comes with responsibility and accountability, not just privileges.
“Leadership is not about sitting in offices and enjoying the perks of your position, but it is about delivering results; and right now, many of you are simply sleeping on the job,” she added.
The Minister urged the MMDCEs to reassess their priorities and step up their efforts to meet the expectations of the people they serve.
She emphasized that the success of the region’s development goals depends largely on the effectiveness of local governance and the ability of executives to translate policies into impactful actions.
