She described the former first family as a friend of the Commission and recalled how former President Kufuor used to invite officials of the Commission to his home.
“President Kufuor was and continues to be one of our greatest supporters. When he was President and even now, he is somebody we call on often. He gives us all the support that one could possibly get from a president and a former president, and we appreciate the relationship,” she said.
