President has disclosed that the 68th Independence Day celebration cost the country only GH¢1.5 million.

Speaking at the celebration at the Jubilee House, the president indicated that GH¢1.5 million is just 10% of the GH¢15 million used for the same celebration in 2024.

He added that the country would have spent about GH¢20 million if it had held a grand celebration like what was seen in 2024. "Today's celebration costs GH¢1.5 million, which is only one-tenth of what it would have cost to hold it at the Independence Square.

The cost of last year's celebration in Koforidua was GH¢15 million.
