Charles Owusu, a former Forestry Commission official has praised President John Mahama following a viral video of him going round every office in the Jubilee House to greet the staff.
According to Charles Owusu, Mahama’s action demonstrated humility and respect towards workers at the Jubilee House.
He further called on CEOs, Members of Parliament and other leaders to emulate Mahama’s example.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show, Charles Owusu stated, “One thing President Mahama has done that I’m so pleased and happy about is how he went to every office at the Jubilee House to wish everyone a Happy New Year. That’s impressive. President Mahama God bless me. Most often, when people rise to such high positions, they tend to disregard their workers,” he noted.
I am praying that the ministers, CEOs, MPs and those in privilege position and those with workers under them, we should remember our workers that without them we wont be there.
He further added, “President Mahama going to the agencies, the vice president is also doing same to find out their challenges and encourage them, In fact if God is in Heaven he would be clapping for him. I saw one video of him with his garner talking to everybody”.

Normally, I’m the face of it, but they don’t know that those who are cooking are the ones cooking the delicious food. I’m just serving the food.
