The Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has emphasized the importance of leveraging Ghana’s rich traditional culture to enhance the country’s global image.
He highlighted that Ghana, being centrally located and culturally dynamic, should make deliberate efforts to showcase its heritage to the world.
