    In order to achieve good governance and sustainable development, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has tasked Dr. Evans Aggrey-Darko, the newly appointed head of the Ghana Civil Service, to make the service more efficient, creative, accountable, and result-oriented.

    He stated that the effectiveness and efficiency of the civil service will be the primary determinant of the nation’s economic transformation and resurrection.

    As a result to effectively coordinate institutions and society, the Ghanaian Civil Service must operate as a contemporary organization that changes and adapts over time.

    In order to meet the government’s objectives for development, social progress, and the economy, it must be essential. Ghana will be able to attain the faster social and economic growth it seeks.

    At a ceremony held at the Seat of Government to officially install Dr. Aggrey-Darko as the new Head of Civil Service, President Akufo-Addo delivered the charge.

    He reminded Dr. Aggrey-Darko that improving the welfare of citizens would only require a service that was effective, resourceful, and supportive of the government.

    “You’re today the head of this institution and the responsibilities imposed on you are considerable, but your background in terms of your experience makes it clear you should be up to it and that is why the opportunity is given to you to serve your country in this exalted position,” he said.

    He reminded Dr. Aggrey-Darko that improving the welfare of citizens would only require a service that was effective, resourceful, and supportive of the government.

    The president urged Dr Aggrey-Darko to demonstrate his sense of independence, but he emphasised that it must be done in a constructive rather than destructive manner.

    “The most important quality that you have to manifest, is your independence of spirit, independence of spirit which is not about necessarily being on antagonistic course with the government of the day.
    President Akufo-Addo said Ghanaians would benefit from the civil service if the head applied his mind and discretion most positively.

    He said the Office of the President had an exceptionally mutually beneficial relationship with his predecessor, “and we will expect the same from you.”

    “If there is any one time that you feel you’ll need access to me, please don’t hesitate, my duty is to work with you for the benefit of our people and the betterment of our state,” he said.

    Dr Aggrey-Darko thanked the government for entrusting him with the task of serving his country, stating he would not take the honour lightly.

    He said that the civil service aimed to assist the government in the formulation and implementation of public policies and programmes for the country and that he was intent on presiding over a revamped, retooled, motivated, and rejuvenated civil service to secure the country’s much-needed development.

    “Your excellency, I am a firm believer in the democratic developmental state that Ghana is crafting, and it is plausible to argue that a vibrant public bureaucracy with the Civil service as a key anchor is fundamental to the manifestation of this developmental state,” he said.

    Dr. Aggrey Darko appealed to the government for support to reform the Civil Service to respond to the country’s needs.

    “Your Excellency, we seek your support in for instance the review for instance the Civil Service Act, which Act was enacted in 1993 and we are being overtaken by events. We have made some proposals to cabinet on it, and I am hoping that when it comes to your attention, you will give it favourable attention so that we can re-craft the Act to take care of the exigencies of the time,” he said.
