“This is in fulfillment of the president’s declaration when he addressed the nation on August 15, 2012 following the death and burial of our beloved President John Atta Mills,” Mr. Jinapor stated.

He also explained that President Mahama would be articulating what the focus for the next four months would be and outline clearly, policy actions aimed at completing some critical interventions.

“This will consolidate the gains made since 2009 under the late President Mills,” Mr. Jinapor said.
