During the one week celebration of the 20-year-old last month, the venue was announced to the media but Mr.Kwarteng admitted that he didn’t do enough background checks about the venue since it has been be revealed that it was was already booked by the Canadian High Commission several weeks before.
“The venue is the challenge. We earlier had the indication that we could hold it there but as it stands, it’s a little dicey. The Canadian High Commission has an event at the Forecourt of the State House on the very day. It had been booked way back. The Black Star Square had also been booked by Aglow International,” Ebony’s father told Peace FM.
“I announced the venue but maybe my homework was not well done or something. Let’s hold on. We are meeting the Chief of Staff on Monday to finalize issues. After that, we will brief the country about the development,” he added.
