Akufo-Addo presence was absent from President Mahama’s first State of the Nation Address last week.

President Mahama is expected to deliver a speech at the 68th Independence Day celebration emphasising national unity, resilience, and patriotism.

Meanwhile, the ceremonial event is being held at the Jubilee House, the seat of government due to Mahama’s government’s scaled-down of expenditure.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State in charge of Government Communication has revealed that Ghana’s 68th Independence Day celebrations will cost only a tenth of the amount spent last year.

According to Kwakye Ofosu, everything has been scaled down to significantly reduce costs.

He revealed that last year’s event held in Koforidua cost GH₵15 million.

Speaking on preparations, Kwakye Ofosu detailed, “ “In the past, there were 60 contingents made up of 60 men and women each. So we are talking close to 3,600 men and women and thousands of children who march.

“Now, everything has been scaled down to a little over 500 people. That includes both security personnel and schoolchildren who will be performing. This is to ensure that we do not incur the kind of costs we did in the past.

“I can reveal to you that the celebrations to be held here on Thursday will cost a tenth of what it took to host this event in Koforidua last year. That event cost GH₵15 million. What will be held here tomorrow will cost a tenth of that”, he added.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu further revealed President Mahama takes the Independence Day celebration very seriously and the scaled-down events in no way undermine the significance of the day.

“The scaled-down events in no way undermine the significance of the day. The Independence Day celebration is one that President Mahama takes very seriously.

He believes it must be celebrated, but in a manner that allows us to make savings that can be redirected into other areas of expenditure,” he explained.
