The United States Ambassa­dor to Ghana, Virginia Ev­elyn Palmer, was yesterday honoured by the Gbese Traditional Council at a colourful ceremony at the palace of the Gbese Mantse, Nii Dr Ayi-Bonte II.

The honour was in recognition of her role in ensuring peace in the country as a whole and Accra in particular before, during and after the 2024 general election. "His Royal Majesty, the King of Gbese and the Adonteng of the Ga State, Nii Ayi Bonte II, graciously compliments and wishes to recognise the invaluable role you played to uphold the peace of the Ga State and for that matter Gha­na during the December 7, 2024 elections in Ghana.

Your immense role in sup­porting the peace council, civic education, conflict prevention initiatives as well as strengthening the capacity of the peace architec­ture established by members of the diplomatic community cannot be overemphasised.

To this end, His Royal Majesty Nii Ayi Bonte II and the entire Ga State recognised your exemplary contribution to peaceful election and appreciate you sincerely.
