The Ghana Beyond Aid Committee has apologised for plagiarising a building from Kenya on the cover page of Ghana Beyond Aid strategy document.
The document, put together by a committee headed by the senior minister, depicted high rise buildings over a green landscape but one of the buildings turned out to be the headquarters of Dawit Insurance in Nairobi.
A statement of apology signed by the Secretary of the Committee, Dr Eric Yeboah, said: “It has come to the attention of the Ghana Beyond Aid Committee that the commission photograph of the Ghana Beyond Aid strategy Document outdoored on May Day by the President of the Republic emanates from Kenya.”
“The committee apologises unreservedly to the President and to the nation for this error and takes full responsibility of the action,” the stated added.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament (MP) for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak, has described the situation as embarrassing.
“As if the issue of the President plagiarizing people’s speeches wasn’t bad enough, they have, once again, photoshopped a skyline from Nairobi and that’s what you see when you open the Ghana Beyond Aid document,” the MP lamented on Accra-based Starr FM.
Below is the full statement from the committee:
