Twenty-eight new members appointed by the government to the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) were on Monday sworn in, bringing the total number to 88, one less than its full complement of 89, since the Metropolitan Chief Executive is yet to be appointed.
Mr Justice Gilbert Mensah Quaye, Supervising High Court Judge of Ashanti Region, who swore them in, said oath taking and swearing in ceremonies are not for fun but rather issues that need to be taken seriously.
He urged them to strive at all cost to abide by all the promises and pledges they make under the oath since that was the most crucial element in every swearing-in and oath-taking ceremony.
Mr Justice Quaye told them that they would be judged by their ability and capacity to devise mechanisms to make the people benefit from the government's policies and programmes.
He urged them to be transparent and help the government to realise its policy and drive at ensuring a zero tolerance of corruption in the country.
