The Vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris, has assured the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, that the United States will soon donate some 1.3 million Pfizer vaccines to Ghana.
This is in addition to some 1.2 million Moderna vaccines received by Ghana on 4th September 2021 from the United States.
Vice President Harris made this known on Thursday, 23rd September 2021, when she held bilateral talks with President Akufo-Addo at the White House, with the aim of stringing the ties of co-operation and friendship that exist between the two countries.
The Daily Searchlight at this point joins the government and people of Ghana to express great gratitude to the government and people of the United States for the continued support we have received from them in the management of the Covid Crisis.
It is our hope that the support would continue to be at pace.
That said, we believe that our government should also begin to investigate what can be done to reduce the nation’s dependence generally on foreign aid.
We make this call, not just because of pride, but because we believe that the steps we take to make us more independent, would also be key steps towards strengthening our psyche as a people.
We commend the government of Ghana as well, for placing itself in a position where it can receive the American support.
