Speaking at a special ceremony at the Jubilee House to honor the outgoing US Ambassador to Ghana, Stephanie Sullivan, Nana Akufo-Addo said he is appreciative of the ambassador and the US’ efforts in the conduct of the 2020 elections.
“We are very thankful for your efforts that helped us to undertake the most transparent election in the fourth republic in 2020. It enabled us to cement our reputation as a beacon of democracy and stability in Africa. We owe an special thanks for the exceptional assistance Ghana received from the United States during the current COVD-19 pandemic when access to vaccines to countries such as ours which do not produce their own vaccine has been difficult and a harrowing experience,” he said.
