The US Embassy cannot help NDC and Mahama out of this foolishness. Your dead goat and yentie obiaa clueless president carried a maggot infested firewood home. They are trying to blame somebody else as having invited the lizards to the home. Civil society, including Ghanaians resident in the USA, will make sure this ambassador does not last after Mahama has been booted out.

Nana is only trying to play on words in his posture on this subject. "Consulted", "informed". The bottom line is that this midget had foreknowledge of the whole GITMO affair. Period. How come he is lying? For what purpose?

Do you get any hint here there was a consultation before the Gitmo 2 arrived? No! I don't.

Robert Porter Jackson, the new Ambassador of the United States of America to Ghana, on Tuesday, February 23, 2016, called on the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at his Nima residence.

Accompanied by the Political Chief at the US Embassy, Robert Carlson, the purpose of Ambassador Jackson’s call on Nana Akufo-Addo was formally to introduce himself as the new US Ambassador to Ghana, following his arrival in the country in January this year.

The NPP flagbearer and Ambassador Jackson discussed governance, security and the economy of Ghana, as well as bilateral and trade relations between the two countries.

On the transfer of the two Guantanamo Bay detainees (Gitmo 2) to Ghana, which has generated a huge debate in Ghana, the US Ambassador explained that the transfer was done with the understanding that the United States will be responsible for the upkeep of the detainees for 2 years, stressing that there are similar agreements in 55 other countries.

Ambassador Jackson assured that the two detainees do not pose a threat to Ghana’s security, as they were vetted thoroughly before being transferred to Ghana.

He, noted, however, that “I understand Ghanaians are concerned, and this is largely because of misinformation and lack of information.” Nana Akufo-Addo, in response noted that the issue was badly handled by the Mahama government, and had the potential of undermining the excellent relationship between Ghana and the United States of America.

The NPP flagbearer explained that “none of the institutions of State, not even Parliament, were consulted on the issue. Political parties were not consulted before this decision was taken. Not surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians and civil society were strongly against this decision.”

He, however, added that “even though we have strived and will continue to strive for strong ties of co-operation between our two countries, we recognise that, at the end of the day, decisions that are taken must serve the mutual interest of the two partners. Ghanaians are yet to be persuaded that this decision was in our national interest.”

Election 2016

With some 8 months to the holding of the November 7 elections, Nana Akufo-Addo reiterated the need for a level playing field for all political parties in the country by the Electoral Commission.

“We continue to be concerned about the way the EC is handling issues ahead of the November 7 election. The procedures and steps being taken for the election appear to be still up in the air. There is an air of uncertainty about the whole preparatory process towards November 7. We in the NPP are not interested in a sham democracy,” he said.

He continued, “I am saying so because the conditions of living of our people at the moment are as bad as I have ever seen them. The impoverishment and the difficulties they are going through are placing a great deal of strain on them. Even the date for November 7, as I am hearing from our Members of Parliament, might even be missed. It is, therefore, important that an air of confidence in the electoral process is felt by all. We need to assure our people that if it is change that they want, or if they want to maintain a government in office, they should be able to get it from our electoral process. This is how our democracy can be strengthened.”

Priority areas of governance

When asked by Ambassador Jackson for his three priority areas should Ghanaians entrust the mandate of leadership into his care in the elections of November, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that his first priority will be to revive Ghana’s ailing economy, and subsequently transform it from a raw material producing one to a value added economy.

“Tackling the issue of corruption in our country will be yet another major focus of my government. Now, the Institutions of governance in our country are working at low levels. We need to assure our people that we are not coming into office to rip off the State, but to improve their well-being. In this regard, I plan to establish an office of an Independent Special Prosecutor to tackle corruption in a non-partisan manner. I also plan to ensure that my appointees and I are held to an acceptable standard of conduct.”

Isaac Osei, the Minority Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, who was also present at the meeting, commended the US for Millennium Challenge Account Compact programme signed with Ghana, as it had impacted greatly on the lives of Ghanaians.

He further hoped that other “mini-compacts” that were signed between the two countries, from July to December 2015, in specific sectors of the economy, would be expanded to cover other aspects of national life as well. Ambassador Jackson indicated the willingness of the US government to respond to specific needs to reinforce the good relations between our two countries.

Ayorkor Botchway, the MP for Anyaa Sowutuom and former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs urged the new Ambassador to take a special interest in Ghana, especially in this election year.

“Because Ghana has gained a reputation as a beacon of peace and stability, many people are of the view that nothing can go wrong in Ghana. On the surface, it may look peaceful, but there are simmering undercurrents which need to be addressed. We need to protect our democracy and the US must help in this regard.”

Nana Akufo-Addo, in concluding the meeting, reiterated the NPP’s commitment to a peaceful election in Ghana. He thanked Ambassador Jackson for the courtesy of his visit, and asked the Ambassador to extend his regards to US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

Present at the meeting were Isaac Osei, MP for Subin and Minority Ranking Member on Foreign Affairs; Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, MP for Anyaa Sowutuom and former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs; Boakye Agyarko, Policy Adviser to Nana Akufo-Addo; Charles Owiredu, Director of International Relations of the NPP; Saratu Atta, Executive Assistant to Nana Akufo-Addo; Francis Asenso-Boakye, Political Assistant to Nana Akufo-Addo; and Eugene Arhin, Press Secretary.

the united states has no reason to lie on this issue. akuffo addo has plenty of reasons to lie non more so than his reaction when the news first came out. he was hoping the us will keep mum about the whole issue. this attitude of trying to score cheap political points should stop. politics is about trying to win power to improve peoples lives not for the sake of it. this goes to all the political parties in Ghana.

John Mahama and his NDC govt has through their actions increased not just the terrorist threat of Ghana, but the entire subregion and it is funny he and his propagandists have latched onto the statement of the US Ambassador to deflect from the real issues confronting this country and the whole subregion.
The NPP and Akufo Addo, not even the People's representatives nor even some key members of his own cabinet were involved in the discussions, in the agreements and the negotiations leading to the relocation of the detainees to Ghana. That is the reality and consulting with the foreign Min to inform Akufo Addo and the NPP after even she the Foreign Min had limited input in that process, cannot constitute consultations.
In any case the position of Akufo Addo and the NPP together with all the major stakeholders and all Ghanaians including even members of the NDC party was deep reservations about the relocation of the detainees to Ghana. As the facts and the uproar about this decision plays out, it is more than clear, there was no consultations with a view to influence the decision with respect to the relocation of the detainees except to inform the NPP and Akufo Addo.
John Dramani Mahama and his NDC govt will not gain any traction with the propaganda and they will be embarrassed as they continue to be embarrassed at every turn and solidify the position his govt is by far the worst since Ghana gained independence in 1957.

And that is in the person of John Mahama. What makes your case interesting the fact that, you have been deceptive all this while until the US ambassador revealed that you were really part of the meeting.

But You have told lies all this while and we cannot have a person like you for president.
