Kufuor inspects refurbished Ghana
High Commission building
Accra, July 14, Ghanadot/GNA– President John Agyekum Kufuor
last week inspected the refurbished Ghana’s High Commission
building in London, and interacted with staff while he was
on his way home after attending the G8 Summit in Japan.
A release from the Ghana High Commission received in Accra
on Monday said President Kufuor admonished the staff to
appreciate the sacrifices of the hardworking people of
Ghana, particularly farmers, through whose toil and labour
the Government was able to mobilize the resources to
refurbish the building.
“You should count yourselves very privileged indeed to be
working in this very conducive environment,” he said.
He advised the staff to maintain high standard of
maintenance culture so that the Government would not be
called upon to commit scarce resources for future
rehabilitation.
“Those who are found wanting should not be tolerated at the
Mission,” President Kufuor said.
President Kufuor was full of praise for Nana Nicholas
Kwabeng, 2007 National Best Cocoa Farmer, who paid a
courtesy call on the High Commissioner and asked the staff
to emulate the hard work, humility and selflessness of
patriots like Nana Kwabeng.
President Kufuor said through the contributions of Nana
Kwabeng and other hardworking cocoa farmers, Ghana had
raised production from a mere 300,000 tonnes eight years ago
to 700,000 tonnes during the 2007 cocoa season.
Mr Annan Cato, High Commissioner, on behalf of the staff,
assured the President and the people of Ghana that they were
aware of the sacrifices being made by the people and were
therefore resolved to maintain the integrity and the high
level of the refurbishment.
Mr Cato and Mr Liam Shapita, Managing Director of Amandi
Limited, the contractor, conducted the president round to
inspect the work done.
