AKUFO-ADDO SPEAKS ON
BBC
The United Kingdom is marking this year the
750th anniversary of the first Westminster
parliament and 800 years since the sealing
of Magna Carta, both of which events played
very significant roles in the development of
parliamentary democracy under the rule of
law in Britain and elsewhere, including
Ghana. Towards this end, the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), in
collaboration with the British House of
Commons and the House of Lords, is
organising a Democracy Day on January 20,
2015 in London to commemorate these
anniversaries. Democracy Day will be a day
of live events, discussions and debates
inside Westminster and at the BBC Radio
Theatre on various aspects of democracy
before a live audience and to be broadcast
across the world.
Nana Akufo-Addo, the 2016 presidential
candidate of the New Patriotic Party, has
been invited by the BBC, as “someone who has
spoken very eloquently on democracy and
governance”, to speak in a panel discussion
on the future of democracy in Africa at
1100hrs GMT. Nana Akufo-Addo will also be
interviewed on BBC’s ‘Focus on Africa’
programme after the panel discussion after
1200hrs GMT.
Whilst in London, Nana Akufo-Addo, on
Wednesday, January 21, will also deliver a
speech at Chatham House, the prestigious
Royal Institute of International Affairs, on
the topic “Developing Ghana – policies for
prosperity”.
Nana Akufo-Addo will leave Ghana on Sunday,
January 18 and will return on Wednesday,
January 21. He will be accompanied by Ms.
Elizabeth Ohene, former Minister of State in
the Kufuor administration and former Deputy
Editor at the BBC African Service for
English Daily Programmes, and Captain Edmund
Koda.

Ghana Considers Revising Oil
Revenue Target for 2015 Budget
Bloomberg, Jan 16, Ghanadot - The drop in crude
threatens an economy already struggling with chronic
power outages and inflation that has remained above 10
percent for more than two years. The economy last year
probably expanded less than previously forecast because
of the energy shortage and currency, the statistical
service said yesterday. GDP will rise 3.9 percent this
year, near the 4.2 percent estimate for 2014, the agency
said. .
