President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that the United States has approached Ghana for further discussions on a proposed $109 million health funding agreement rejected by Cabinet.
Speaking at a citizens’ engagement in Goaso in the Ahafo Region, the President said Washington was willing to review some provisions of the deal, creating an opportunity for renewed negotiations.
Ghana rejected the proposed agreement after raising concerns that some of its conditions were humiliating and could undermine the country’s sovereignty.
The funding compact was intended to replace health support previously provided through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
President Mahama said Ghana remained committed to protecting its sovereign rights as discussions over the proposed agreement continued.
