Having observed the inaugural ceremony of French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, May 15, Mr Avedzi stated: “Unnecessary costs have been saved and I am wondering if Ghana cannot adopt a moderate way of inauguration of our future presidents-elect in order to avoid unnecessary costs that currently characterise inauguration of our presidents.”

INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT MACRON OF FRANCE: ANY LESSONS TO LEARN FOR GHANA?

Today, I watched the inauguration of Emmanuel Macron on BBC. It was a very simple programme which lasted for about one and half or at most two hours.

President-elect Emmanuel Macron arrived in a very similar 4×4 vehicle of a size similar to Hyundai i35 at the Presidential Palace where the out-going President Hollande was waiting to receive him.

They both walked upstairs for a closed door meeting which lasted for 45 minutes after which they came down for the new president to see the former president off. The vehicle that brought the new president was used to take the former president away.

The new president was then presented with the Legion (symbol of authority) after which he signed a book and then went straight to give his address which also lasted for about 10 minutes.

The total number of people gathered and were all standing at the inner perimeter of the Palace would number about 500 people including journalists who were also there to cover the programme.

Even though I do not know whatever cost that would have been incurred, my costing of what I saw today may not exceed $50,000.00. France is the fifth richest country in the world yet the inauguration of the president-elect was so simple.

Unnecessary costs have been saved and I am wondering if Ghana cannot adopt a moderate way of inauguration of our future presidents-elect in order to avoid unnecessary costs that currently characterise inauguration of our presidents.

Just thinking aloud.

James Klutse Avedzi

Deputy Minority Leader.
