US seeks changes to rejected health compact - President Mahama insists country will stand firm

The President highlighted key government interventions, including road construction under the Big Push Infrastructure Development Programme, economic recovery efforts, the Free Primary Healthcare Initiative, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (MahamaCares), the District Assemblies Common Fund and preparations towards Ghana’s 70th Independence Anniversary celebration.

President Mahama assured chiefs and residents of further road projects, citing the Tepa–Mabang–Goaso road, being asphalted by Kofi Job Construction Limited, and the Sunyani–Ntotroso–Acherensua road project, undertaken through a partnership between Newmont Ghana and the government.

Addressing a citizens’ engagement, a town hall meeting, last Saturday at Goaso, the Ahafo Regional capital, the President said the Americans were requesting further engagement, while Ghana remained resolute in protecting its sovereignty.
