The government's decision for the cancellation of 'grand observance' of Ghana's independence anniversary celebration has attracted various comments from the public.
Minister of State in charge of Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, told journalists in Accra, on Wednesday, that the initiative was to save the State the cost associated with the grand celebration over the years.
He said instead, a modest event would be held at the Jubilee House, in Accra, the nation's capital, to commemorate the anniversary, which will be replicated at the regional and district levels.
Indeed, a section of the Ghanaian public has hailed the move as a positive way of reducing government expenditure, and putting country's scarce resources into better use.
