The Ghana Beyond Aid Committee has apologised for the photo it used for the cover page of the strategy document.
According to a statement from the committee, the photo “emanates from Kenya.”
“The Committee apologises unreservedly to the President and the nation for this error, and takes full responsibility for it,” Dr. Eric Yeboah, secretary to the committee wrote.
The committee said it will replace the photo before bulk copies are printed for widespread circulation.
President Nana Akufo-Addo launched the document on May Day 2019.
He said the essence was to create a nation that would be self-sufficient and prosperous, governed according to the rule of law, respect for human rights and individual liberties as well as the principles of democratic accountability.
It turns out the photograph used on the cover of the document was not an original photo, it is from Kenya.
