A former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng has asked the Leaders of the country to do everything in the interest of the country and not to be selfish.
According to him, everybody will give an account on whatever they are doing so everybody must be very conscious in delivering his/her duties.
He added that if every Ghanaian discharge their duties without being selfish and focus on the interest of the country, Ghana would have developed more than the current state.
“If I have done anything wrong, I stand go before the court and answer these questions and this should apply to everyone, and those who are in charge now should also know that at some point they will be at the other hand. If you are on one side of the table another time you will be at the other hand and also receiving questions so whatever we are doing we should be clear that you are doing everything in the interest of Ghana.” Prof. Frimpong Boateng stated.
