Vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris, has appointed US Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Palmer, a liaison officer between Oguaa Traditional Council and the US.
She made the appointment while at Cape Coast on Tuesday following a request by the Paramount Chief of Ogua, Osaberima Nana Kwesi Atta II.
The liaison, according to the chief, will improve contacts between the White House and the paramountcy in order to support the latter’s undertaking of specific development projects with the help of the former.
Kamala Harris further noted that a positive relationship will assist both groups forge a stronger bond and enable them to re-learn history for the benefit of passing it on to future generations and preserving their sense of historical pride.
The Oguaamanhene further asked for a reciprocal visit to the White House as a show of solidarity between Oguaa and the United States of America.
“I have intentionally not talked about the castle which I know you’re going to visit. Over the years we’ve had President Obama and the wife visiting the castle, we’ve had the wife of President Trump, we’ve had Pelosi and now it’s your turn.
“When you go there, and you carefully look around, you’ll ask yourself so many questions. Why should anybody treat anybody the way our ancestors were treated and this gives a lot of thought but we’re not in those days now,” he indicated.
Meanwhile, Vice President Harris is expected to leave Ghana on Wednesday to continue her 9-day trip in Africa.
