He said Ghana is a model of democracy in the continent and the sub-region.
“Those bad days were Coup d’état were fashionable, we [Ghana] seemed to be leading the way. But as democracy has become more and more entrenched in the continent, we are also leading the way,” he said.
To this end, he appealed for enhancement of cooperation to “preserve what Ghana has and we think that greater cooperation especially in the spheres of economic, counter-terrorism, cyber security and so on.”
--Private partnership—
The Vice President also told the US lawmakers that since the Nana Akufo-Addo administration took office six weeks ago, measures have been put in place to turn around the economy.

President Akufo-Addo last week in The Gambia said his administration is determined to fix the “bad” economy inherited from the John Mahama administration.
And at his first State of Nation Address, president Akufo-Addo decried the state of the country’s finances he inherited.
Nonetheless, Dr Bawumia told the US lawmakers that the Akufo-Addo administration is determined to revive the economy through a public-private partnership.
“All we are doing is focus on the private enterprise, private investment and protecting the public purse, making sure that we have value for money for what we do.”
