The government has announced the cancel­lation of what it called the 'grand observa­tion' of Ghana's independence anniversary celebration.

Instead, a modest celebration would be held at the Jubilee House to commemorate the anniversary, the Minister of State in charge of Government Com­munication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, told the press in Accra yesterday.

On the theme "Reflect, Review, Reset," the Minister said it was in line with the President John Dramani Mahama government's agenda to reset all spheres of governance.

Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State in charge of Government Communication Mr Ofosu, MP, Abura/Asebu/Kwamankese, explained that the rationale behind the modest cele­brations was to save the State the accompanying cost associated with the grand celebration over the years.
