President Nana Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Nana Addo
\nDankwa Akufo-Addo on Tuesday swore in the Board of State Interest and
\nGovernance Authority (SIGA) with a strict instruction to uphold accountable
\ngovernance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attitude must be
\nnew king, new law, a new authority, a new culture, a culture of accountable
\ngovernance and of respecting the norms, sensibilities and practice of good
\ncorporate governance not only amongst you but almost the institutions that
\nreport to you,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

According to the
\nPresident, the old state-owned enterprise in many ways did not work in the
\ninterest of the people and the country and that was the main reason for the
\nestablishment of SIGA, saying, \u201cIt is my expectation that you would help
\ndevelop a new culture and should not be bound by the old culture and practices
\nof its predecessors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The President said it
\nwas time SOEs\u00a0added value to and played\u00a0a productive role in the
\ndevelopment of Ghana\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod knows enough
\nof public resources of our country have been sunk into these institutions, so
\nfar we have had very little dividend from them.Whatever have been the problems
\nin the past, all of those have been swept away by Statute to create this new
\nbody and it is expected that you work in such a way that this new body will be
\nable to make a positive impact on the growth of the national economy,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo added,
\n\u201cWe are expecting very high standards from you people on the board, including
\nthe chairman and other members. A lot of hope is being placed on your
\nperformance and your attitudes. We are looking at you to be able to straighten things out and make sure that we get the
\ndividends we are seeking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chaired by Terrance
\nDario, the board has members, including Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Director
\nGeneral of SIGA; Kow Essuman, representative from the Office of the President; David
\nCollison, a representative nominated by the Ministry of Finance, and Franklin
\nOwusu Asafo Adjei, a representative of the Institute of Chartered Accountants
\nGhana. <\/p>\n

The rest are Felix
\nIntrakwah, a representative of the Ghana Bar Association, and three persons
\nnominated by President Akufo-Addo, including Elikem Kuenyehia, Miss Yasmin Baba
\nand Dr. Margaret Duah Atuahene.<\/p>\n

Felix Intrakwah, who
\nspoke on behalf of the board, assured that the body would ensure the interest
\nof Ghana is protected to bring about the desired change being sought for.<\/p>\n

The board would be under the direct supervision of the Office of the President.\u00a0<\/p>\n
