Mr. Kelly also commended Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Barfuor Adjei-Barwuah, who was a special guest of honor, for his role in making Overland-Tandberg’s plan to operate in Ghana possible.

And I’m happy to say that we have acquired office space in Ghana and ready to start operations soon,” Mr. Kelly revealed.
