Dr Agyeman-Rawlings continued by urging leaders to treat their service as a higher calling.

She also cautioned against arrogance and misuse of authority, warning that power is temporary.
“Do not abuse your power. Do not become arrogant, and do not get confused by the fact that you are where you are today because you do not know what tomorrow holds,” she told the gathering.
The 44th anniversary of the 31st December Revolution commemoration brought together party faithful, activists, and citizens to reflect on the legacy of the 1981 uprising led by her late father, former President Jerry John Rawlings.
