President John Dramani Mahama has encouraged civil society organizations (CSOs) to remain vocal in holding the government accountable, stressing that constructive criticism is vital for national progress.
During a courtesy visit by the President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, on Wednesday, March 26, Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, human rights, and constitutional freedoms.
“So, as I have told civil societies, they must have the freedom to point out when things are not going in a way they should.
“Just like we say in our local parlance, ‘if a person is charting a path, he may not know that it is crooked.’ It is only onlookers who can be able to point it out to him,”’he said.
He stressed that governance thrives when leaders remain open to feedback from independent voices, adding that constructive input strengthens democracy and ensures policies align with the nation’s best interests.
