President John Dramani Mahama has called for reforms to honor the memory of the eight Ghanaians who died in a military helicopter crash last year. Addressing the National Inter-Faith Memorial Service in Accra, Mahama emphasized that the most significant tribute to those who lost their lives is to improve governance, safety standards, and the welfare of public servants.
He urged public officials to view their positions as "sacred trusts," where decisions directly impact the welfare of citizens. Mahama stressed that remembrance should inspire concrete actions to enhance institutional resilience and protect those who serve Ghana, stating that the true legacy would be realized only if Ghana emerged from the tragedy with stronger institutions and enhanced safety protocols.
Reflecting on the inter-faith service, Mahama highlighted the shared belief among Ghanaians that death is not the end, emphasizing unity despite religious and cultural differences. He prayed for eternal peace for the departed and comfort for their families, urging Ghanaians to carry a sense of purpose beyond sorrow.
