He spoke on his agenda of building Ghana Beyond Aid and also the need to change the negative narrative about Africa.

Nana Addo also talked about topics surrounding Ghana health and education sectors, as well human rights protection.

Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu spoke about his frustrations due to the lack of activities of his office since he was appointed.

He said “I am saying this for the public to understand that we have set up an office. We have to organize that office, have the requisite personnel. It does not take one day. The law says 90 days after the assumption of office of the Special Prosecutor, pursuant legislation must be enacted, but as I speak today, I have no legislation so I use my common sense."

He also complained how some of the appointees of President Akufo-Addo are sabotaging his work. He added, ""You ask for information you can’t get it, you ask for docket, the docket cannot be produced. You ask a minister for a record, the record cannot be produced. How do you fight corruption when those appointed by the president who has a vision are not coordinating with the office of the special prosecutor to achieve his mandate?"

Former President John Mahama commenced his campaign for the flagbearer slot of the NDC for the 2020 general elections.

He started the campaign in the Central Region where he met executives of some selected constituencies in the region.

In one of his campaign stops, he said President Akufo-Addo and the NPP have failed to honour their campaign promises and therefore do not deserve a second chance.

The former president vowed that the NDC will teach the NPP what better governance is upon its return to power.
