Rebecca Akufo-Addo, ‘humble’, responded to my WhatsApp message in less than 30 minutes

The Director-General of the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA), Kofi Owusu Ohene, popularly known as Kofi Kapito, has commended First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo for her humility.

He said that since the First Lady took office, he has never called her on the phone before, although he knows her family well.

Kofi Kapito revealed that he sent a WhatsApp message to the First Lady to schedule an appointment with her and to his surprise, he received a response less than 30 minutes later.

“I have known her for some time; most of her close friends are my friends. Since her husband became president, almost eight years ago, I have never called her before, and she has not called me either. I wanted to engage her on something, and someone gave me her number.

“So I sent her a message on WhatsApp saying I would like to meet her for a chat when she is less busy. Within 30 minutes, she responded to the message and gave me an appointment to meet her,” he said in Twi during an interview with Kingdom FM.

The CPA CEO advised government appointees and other public servants to emulate Rebecca Akufo-Addo’s humility and serve the general public diligently, regardless of their status.

“I know people who were nothing when we were in opposition, but once they got a position, they don’t answer calls. That’s what Akufo-Addo appointees should do because they are serving the people,” he added.
