COP26 Summit: Government Officially Sent 24 Delegates Not 337 – Henry Kokofu
The Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Henry Kwabena Kokofu says the official delegation government sent to the COP26 Summit in Glasgow, Scotland is only 24 and not the widely circulated 337.
In an interview on Accra-based Asaase Radio, he explained that Ghanaians present at the event in Glasgow were private individuals, private sector representatives, people from academia, and those representing Civil Society Organisations.
“Some of them did not get their Visas, others registered just to participate virtually, others couldn’t make it. By the count of the day, we had about 170 people as participants,” he said.
“And these 170 people, most of them are coming from civil society organisations, academia, and the private sector. The government delegation per se amounted to 24 in number,” he added.
