LIVESTREAMING: President Akufo-Addo meets the press

The event, which began at 5:00PM, will give journalists the opportunity to quiz the President on controversial issues which have cropped up in his almost 2 years in office.

He is expected to answer questions on the progress of the government’s flagship programmes as well as queries on the current state of the economy.

This will be the third time a similar event has been scheduled at the Jubilee House within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.

A similar exercise was conducted in July 2017, and January 2018 where Nana Akufo-Addo promised to meet the journalists in the country every six months in the entire duration of his tenure as President.

Since the last interaction earlier this year, there has been many controversial developments within the government which the president has not directly provided clarity to.

Some of these include the removal of Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko from office and the banking crisis.

There has been a number of programs and projects launched by the government, yet without proper detail in the public domain.

It is expected that the president will provide clarity on such developments.
