President John Mahama has blamed the Independence Day event brochure saga on what he called “printer’s devilâ€.
The event brochure for the Independence Day celebration was characterised by incomprehensible grammatical expressions, poor spelling and a host of other inaccuracies. Among the many mistakes in the brochure was the representation of Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta, as the President of Ghana.
Commenting on the development, President said the Kenyan President did not create the impression that he noticed the misrepresentation of his position.
“We actually went through the brochure and he [Uhuru Kenyatta] didn’t show that he noticed that he was described as the President of Ghana, but I’m sure in communication you people call it the printer’s devil. It’s unfortunate and I think those mistakes are avoidable.The Chief of Staff is working on it to make sure that, it doesn’t happen again, he said on TV3 on Monday
President Mahama, however, noted that the event was successful, irrespective of the brochure saga.
“It was a beautiful celebration I don’t think it should have been marred by something as simple as the printer’s devil in a brochure.
“The anniversary was very well organised. I want to commend the national planning committee for choreographing the event very well. I’m 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,†he said.
