The Volta Regional Minister-Designate, Dr Archibald Letsa, has said some sweet words to the people in his region following his reappointment.

Dr Letsa has assured his people of an open-door policy after his vetting and approval by the Appointments Committee of Parliament.

According to him, he shall continue to build bridges and not walls while pursuing the development of the Region.

He gave the assurance in a Facebook post while acknowledging President Nana Akufo-Addo for his renomination.

“I, therefore, wish to assure all, especially the good people of the Region and others who would wish to invest in the Region, of my preparedness and availability to work with them towards achieving this one goal of having a more developed Region, able to provide more jobs to her people in an environment of enhanced socio-economic infrastructure,” he said.

With a heart of unqualified gratitude, I wish to thank H.E. The President of The Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for once again reposing confidence in me by the renomination as the Volta Regional Minister.

I am humbled by the renomination and more importantly, by the display of confidence in me.

I wish, therefore, to state unequivocally that when approved by Parliament, I shall continue to pursue and serve the agenda of H.E. the President and government in the Volta Region at all times to the best of my knowledge and ability.

Furthermore, I shall continue to operate an “open-door policy” in the running of my office, where I shall be readily available to all the people of the Region.

In this regard, I shall continue to build bridges and not walls while pursuing the development of the Region.

It is not lost on me that we need to work together as people of this Region in ensuring its development as envisaged by the President and all of us.

I, therefore, wish to assure all, especially the good people of the Region and others who would wish to invest in the Region, of my preparedness and availability to work with them towards achieving this one goal of having a more developed Region, able to provide more jobs to her people in an environment of enhanced socio-economic infrastructure.
