Madam Sun Baohang, the Chinese ambassador outlined her country’s readiness to assist the Government of Ghana in fighting corruption.

The donation has received negative feedback from some Ghanaians and many social media users.

The Executive Director, Linda Ofori-Kwafo speaking on the donation said "The point is that we are currently at the moment dealing with matters that concern Chinese engaging in illegal mining."
