John
Henry Martey-Newman, the immediate past Chief of Staff at the Presidency has
expressed appreciation to the members of the ruling government for the support
offered him during his tenure.
Interacting
with a cross section of the members of the Presidential Press Corps who called
on him to bid him farewell as he prepares to hand over to the new Chief of
Staff, Mr. Martey-Newman said he was very happy to have had the opportunity to
serve in that capacity.
He
was happy that he had been able to contribute his quota to the better Ghana
agenda, but noted that he was able to perform due to the support he enjoyed
from all stakeholders.
“I
appreciate the support,” he said, and called for similar support for his
successor, Prosper Douglas Kweku Bani.
Responding
to commendation for good job done by the members of the Press Corps, Mr.
Martey-Newman, who was appointed by the late President Mills, thanked God for
being his helper.
He
reminded people of the need to serve the nation with dedication, loyalty and
commitment, saying that was the only for all to contribute meaningfully to
national development.
Mr.
Martey-Newman urged the media to continue be supportive of the national
development agenda, describing the media is critical partners in nation
building.
For
his part, Samuel Ablordepey, the spokesman for the delegation, thanked the
outgoing Chief of Staff for being supportive of the work of the Corps.
He
lauded his contribution towards the successes chalked by the Mills-Mahama
administration, saying the members of Corps admired him for the hardwork,
dedication and discipline.
“The
Press Corps wishes you well, and we pray to God to continue to bless and guide
you,” he said.
