The MP thanked the UK High Commissioner to Ghana, Her Excellency Harriet Thompson, for her quick response and help in getting the visas on compassionate grounds. He praised her for showing great support in this difficult moment.
Mr. Ablakwa also gave special recognition to the Member of Parliament for Bantama, Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye, for informing him about Suzy’s condition and asking for his help as Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister.
He expressed deep gratitude to businessman and philanthropist Mr. Ibrahim Mahama for generously offering to pay for the full cost of Suzy’s medical treatment in the UK. His support has given Suzy and her family great hope.
Mr. Ablakwa ended his message by encouraging Suzy not to give up. “You are a winner,” he said, adding that all Ghanaians are praying for her and supporting her journey to recovery.
