This year’s celebration focuses on the youth with the theme: Harnessing the Demographic Dividend through Investment in Youth.
A flag-raising ceremony was held at the forecourt of the State House with the Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, Interior Minister Ambrose Dery, Gender Minister Otiko Afisa Dzabah and some members of the diplomatic corps in attendance.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also outlined a week-long programme of activities to mark the day.
Why ? Since this government came to power, there have been so many celebration going on. They said that our financial position is bad yet spending so much money on the celebrations . I was young at the time but remembered when Rawlings came to power first time, at that time Ghana was to go to Africa Cap 1978 , what happened, he said no we can’t, we don’t have money to go until Libya pay for us to come . When this government came in so much promise they made but they done nothing expect celebrations , even Akuff – Addo’s birthday and his marriage anniversary, his children ‘s birthday partys. So pay for all this ? Yet they said we are in financial difficulties,.
This is first time in Ghana the government has spent state money on fucking things and his team also stealing from us . See what is happening in the country now .
