Also present were the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah; Chief of Defence Staff, Brigadier General William Agyapong; Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey; Policy Advisor at the Office of the Vice President, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, together with other senior government officials.
