The Guest of Honour for the ceremony was Brigadier General (Dr) EW Kotia, Commander of MONUSCO Western Sector and Ghana’s Contingent Commander.

In his address, General Kotia admonished GHANBATT troops to remain professional at all times and continue to raise the flag of Ghana high.

Hearty cheers of troops

He urged troops to remain worthy ambassadors of Ghana in the DRC, and further encouraged all to eschew acts that would bring the name of Ghana into disrepute.

General Kotia reflected on the contributions, struggles and sacrifices made by the forefathers led by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah towards Ghana’s independence, and encouraged all to rekindle the spirit of patriotism and work hard to make Ghana strong and truly independent.

Other dignitaries present were the Commanding Officer MONUSCO GHANBATT 14, Lieutenant Colonel BB Pantoah, personnel from other countries serving with MONUSCO, Ghanaians residing in the DRC and friends of GHANBATT in the DRC.

It would be recalled that Ghana gained her independence from the British on 6 March 1957 and became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to have gained independence.

The theme for this year’s celebration was “Ghana beyond Aid.”
