GHANA'S Ambassador to the United States of America (USA), Dr Kwame Bawuah-Edusei has appealed to Ghanaians to remain calm and resolute to preserve the peace while counting of ballot papers is underway in the 2008 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
"This is the critical moment, investors are watching us and we must endeavour to prove to the world that Ghanaians are peace loving," Dr Bawuah-Edusei stated.
According to the Ambassador Ghana was the black star of Africa and for that matter it was important for her to maintain the prevailing peace.
"If we are able to hold tight and keep the true Ghanaian tradition of being friendly and peace loving people, it will entreat the confidence of investors in our economy," Dr Bawuah-Edusei pointed.
He gave the assurance that he had interacted with investors in developed and emerging economies and they had all expressed their interest to invest in Ghana's economy.
He said the investors were willing to come in and invest in Ghana and stated that it was important for Ghanaians to allow the due process to take its course while counting of ballot papers are ongoing.
The Ambassador gave the assurance that there will be more investment especially when Ghanaians exercised decorum and ensured an incident-free election.
