According to rep of RAC LLC, last year’s edition of the pageant was organized by INSIGNIA Experience with help from the RAC Group and based on their working agreement at the time; INSIGNIA was responsible for the event as well as providing the winner with the prizes she deservedly won.
RAC LLC IS however believes that Ms. Gifty Ofori deserves to receive all the full benefits that were promised her when she won the crown last year and is right to pursue the issue with last year’s organizers.
RAC LLC states that the general public should be rest assured that, the company is dedicated to ensuring that this year’s winner and contestants will receive all prizes promised to them.
Following issues with last year’s edition, Roberta Annan Consulting, - a management firm that specializes in aligning investors with government agencies with the aim of stimulating economic, social and political growth - decided to bid for and subsequently took over the Miss Universe Ghana franchise from INSIGNIA Experience, thus this is the company’s first edition in charge of the pageant.
