The Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul says former Minister of Foreign Affairs in the erstwhile NDC administration did not keep a copy of the agreement Ghana signed with the United States of America in 2015.
“When I met the agreement; and they had made copious references to earlier agreement we have signed with them which are still in force…. Infact the base document that they used in preparing this agreement is the agreement Ghana signed with them in 2015 by Hanna Tetteh but unfortunately Ghana didn’t have a copy of that agreement. It was the Americans that actually gave us that agreement (copy)…so while we signed the agreement with the Americans and they kept a copy, Ghana did not keep any copy; because it was not in the handing over notes; and I wrote to the Foreign Minister and she checked her archives and she didn’t have it as well and the armed forces didn’t have it and so clearly we didn’t know this agreement has been signed…
Until they made reference to it I didn’t have any idea…it was when Ghana Armed Forces were meeting with the Americans over how to structure this agreement; a month ago…then Americans gave them a copy of the ‘Hannah Tetteh agreement’. That is how we messed up ourselves as a country,” he said.
Nitiwul who was contributing to a panel discussion on Joy FM’s newsfile programme, Saturday said he does not understand why the opposition NDC are complaining of the agreement when they signed it.
“The very things Ghanaians especially the NDC, are speaking against today, they signed it…”

MR MINISTER,GHANAIANS VOTED FOR NPP FOR A CHANGE ITS NOT PROPER TO KEEP REFERING TO PAST GOVT.NPP IS IN POWER NOW AND WE EXPECT THEM TO BE UP AND DOING AND STOP PUSHING BLAME ON PAST GOVT.
President Nana Addo's mantra of Ghana beyond Aid is just mouth talk. Why you don't want to be aided and at the same time go for Americans 20 million dollars to take over your state sovereignty? A failed President and government. What a paradox of a shitttttttttholeeee
Those whipping up negative emotions on this agreement are bunch of ndc ediot who are frustrated because the npp government is performing so well that they have nothing to blame government on but to make ***barred word*** noise on everything they lay hands on
hahahahahahahahhaa ...comedy in GH politics must come to an end...
Can somebody tell us the money in this deal NDC signed in 2015
Always blaming NDC for everything. Why did we change NDC for NPP? Politicians are just the same. Shithoooooooole ministers
That's a stuuupid lie. Tell that to your wife and kids. Every agreement between any two states is signed in duplicate.
An Incompetent Ndc government indeed .Rawlings was right about the commentary he made on Hannah Tetteh the "Hard Hand Shaker"You sign an agreement and you don't keep a COPY,WOW!!!!!!!.
I'm sick and tired with this defense minister. If you claimed you don't the copy only last month you saw it. ..the 20 million $ question is then why the rush.... America will only sign agreement with an African government only if they have a top secret Agenda.. Our leaders for God sake open your eyes ooo.
God will punish you for this.
