As a people, we see work with integrity, diligence and your presence in this country has held this country together in strong elections that we have seen.”
The Ga Mantse also commended the army’s professionalism, discipline, and dedication to duty, noting their crucial role in peacekeeping missions beyond Ghana’s borders.
