Today, Founders’ Day, I visited the personal photographer of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Rev. Christian Tsui Hesse (Chris Hesse). Rev. Hesse is one of Ghana’s most celebrated cinematographers and filmmakers. He is responsible for preserving a priceless visual archive of Ghana’s political leadership and development. I was accompanied by Mr. Goosie Tanoh and Mr. Alex Segbefia.
I expressed my gratitude for Rev. Hesse's work documenting and safeguarding Ghana’s history. His archives capture the facts of our nation’s journey and remain an invaluable national treasure at a time when narratives are too often distorted. I assured him of our commitment to safeguarding these archives and filling the gaps to ensure the next generation has access not only to data but to the qualitative truths of our story.
His contributions underscore the importance of owning and preserving our history. As we reflect on Founders’ Day, we are reminded of Nkrumah’s declaration of our independence representing an unfinished but bold step toward African liberation. Today, with global shifts underway, the lessons from that era remain highly relevant.
I thank Rev. Chris Hesse for his extraordinary service to our nation and pray for his continued strength and good health.

I warmly congratulate the University for Development Studies (UDS) football team on their historic achievement at the Universities World Football Tournament in Dalian, China. By becoming the first African university to reach the quarterfinals of this prestigious competition, you have made Ghana and Africa proud on the global stage.
The nation stands firmly behind you. Continue to play with courage, integrity, and passion. You have already made us proud, and we look forward to celebrating even greater successes with you.
A big congratulations to our Black Queens for their remarkable victory over Algeria to secure a spot in the Women’s AFCON semi-finals. As they prepare to face Morocco, we salute their resilience and urge them to keep pushing. The whole nation is behind you. The dream is alive!

I had the pleasure of hosting a farewell meeting with the outgoing Namibian High Commissioner to Ghana, Hon. Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, who has been appointed to serve in Namibia’s cabinet as the Minister for International Relations and Trade.
She conveyed warm greetings from the President of Namibia, Her Excellency Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. Ghana and Namibia are committed to mutual respect and cooperation within the West African and Southern African regions. We fondly recalled my visits to Namibia on two memorable occasions, both of which underscored the ties between our countries.
We discussed the opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the importance of leveraging our strengths, sharing our expertise, and adding value to our local products.
Our conversation also touched on the importance of solidarity among women in leadership, and the need to support one another in our efforts to shape inclusive and forward-looking national and continental agendas.
I wish Hon. Ashipala-Musavyi a safe journey and every success as she returns home to take up her new role in service of her country.

A first-year student at the University of Cape Coast(UCC) says that between one million dollars and a first-class degree, he would choose the first-class degree over the one million dollars because a first-class degree can earn him a million dollars.
I spent the morning of 28th December 2023 at the Psychiatric Hospital in Ankaful, where I made a donation of food and sanitary items to the facility.
I was accompanied by some Regional and Constituency members of the National Democratic Congress, including the Chairman of the KEEA constituency, Mr. John Quaicoe, Founder Batch Kwoffie; Sarah Kissi of the 31st December Movement; Charles Entsua (Secretary); Vivian Sortor (Women Organizer) and her deputy, Helen Essilfie; and many significant others.
Mental health is something that should interest all of us. It’s an aspect of health that can affect anyone, regardless. Let us accept and embrace people in difficult situations since empathy, acceptance and tolerance have important healing benefits.
