It\u2019s unfortunate and I think those mistakes are avoidable. The Chief of Staff is working on it to make sure that, it\u00a0doesn\u2019t happen again. It was a beautiful celebration I don\u2019t think it should have been marred by something as simple as the printer\u2019s devil in a brochure,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regardless of the brochure errors, the President \u00a0said the anniversary parade was well organised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe anniversary was very well organized. I want to commend the national planning committee for choreographing the event very well. I\u2019m sure that Ghanaians watched it live and everybody was proud of what they saw. Indeed I got a call from the President Kenyatta after he got back home and he expressed how much he enjoyed the parade. He particularly liked the Gold Coast Police,\u201d President Mahama added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Godwin A.
