"Those of us in leadership must lead by example; we must be prepared to be held accountable for taking the public trust. As I have told every body, if you accept to serve in the public sector, then you must be prepared to answer to the people because it is the people who put you there; you serve at their pleasure.

"The green letter comes with a lot of responsibility and expectation, and I have said that while we hold those who came before us accountable, we should remember that we are also going to be held accountable," the president said.

"So, amending the constitution, holding people accountable for the public trust, and making sure that we stabilize the economy and create opportunities for our young people to work as quickly as possible, is the task ahead of us. We may not be able to complete that process, but at least I am determined that we lay the foundation and put Ghana on the right track," the President said.
