GHANA: Can Obama match past presidential promises?
ACCRA, 8 July 2009 (IRIN): As Ghanaians gear up for US President Barack Obamas arrival on 10 July – his first official visit to sub-Saharan Africa – they are mixing high hopes with caution.
– We can only keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best, the director-general of Ghanas Health Service, Elias Sory, told IRIN.
Obama is scheduled to make a major policy statement, Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa told IRIN, but the details have not yet been made public.
