President Akufo-Addo will not use Tuesday’s interaction with journalists to shower himself with praises, but instead account for his first six (6) months in office, Information Minister, Mustapha Hamid has said.
He is expected to use the occasion to touch on his achievements and challenges so far, and also outline policies he intends rolling out to enable his administration to fulfill its many promises to Ghanaians.
The meeting is also to afford the media the opportunity to ask the president key questions about developments within his administration which he has not sufficiently addressed.
The Minister for Information, Mustapha Hamid, told Citi News the president believes it is important to engage the citizenry through the media, and take their criticisms to shape government policies.
“He thinks that this interaction with the Ghanaian people is a democratic requirement that as a democratic president, once a while you come back to the people to tell them what you have done with the mandate they have given you,” he said.
Mustapha Hamid said although many called on the president to hold that meeting after a year in office, he believes it is better to hold it as soon and frequent as possible.
This is not the first time a sitting president will avail himself for an exclusive time with the press to account for his government, and also answer direct questions from them.
Former Presidents John Mahama , John Atta Mills and John Agyekum Kufuor, also held a few of such meetings while in office.
The last of such interactions then President John Mahama held was in January 2016.
Mustapha Hamid said Tuesday’s session with President Akufo-Addo “is not a press interaction to engage in self-aggrandizement… We will not come and give ourselves marks. The president will make a few remarks and then we will take questions.”

But governance is a total continuation of campaign goodness those who don't know and understand are academically DUMP. Everything you do you MUST advertise (campaign) for the larger population to know where you started, where you are and where you're going. This is the difference between the developing and the developed world. Welldone the incorruptible savior prez Nehemiah Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo. LONG LIVE NANA ADDO-BAWUMIA, LONG LIVE NPP AND SUPPORTERS, LONG LIVE GHANA
Can Someone ask the president about the DKM, God zis love saga he deceived and please take the tape there.
The jailing of the Mahama robbers who looted Ghana into the abyss is causing huge consternation across the length and breadth of Ghana. And the continued stay of some of these robbers, still, in the public service is proving to be a stumbling block to Ghana's forward march to total progress and prosperity. That cannot be in any way acceptable to Ghana and Ghanaians. There must therefore be complete thorough total action in this country now. We repeat, Ghana is demanding full absolute tremendous action now!!!
