Be humble, don't be rude and disrespectful

President John Dramani Mahama has called on his appointees to exhibit humility and refrain from any form of rudeness or disrespect toward citizens in the discharge of their duties.

This guidance is outlined in the newly released Code of Conduct, issued on Tuesday, May 6, as part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to foster professionalism and civility in public service.

According to the government, effective public service and good governance hinge on principles of courtesy, respect, and civility. As such, the Code urges appointees to avoid offensive or provocative language or behavior, and to carry themselves with dignity in all official dealings.

Appointees are further encouraged to:

Be open to giving and receiving constructive criticism
Use decorous language, even in challenging circumstances
Take reasonable care to uphold the integrity and reputation of their office

The Code was officially launched by President Mahama on Monday, May 5, 2025, as part of a broader reform agenda aimed at strengthening transparency and accountability within the executive branch.

The term “Minister” in the Code applies not only to Cabinet Ministers but also to Deputy Ministers, Presidential Staffers, CEOs and Deputy CEOs of state and para-statal institutions, members of the Council of State, and other political appointees.
