  "account": "Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has praised President John Dramani Mahama for rejecting a proposed U.S. health compact that the government deemed to have unacceptable conditions, according to a post on social media. The President thanked Sarkodie for his comments, which he described as a step towards restoring Ghana's dignity and respect internationally. The Health Ministry reviewed the compact following his rejection and prepared a Cabinet Information Paper on the agreement. The ministry raised concerns over several provisions, including a requirement for Ghana to provide its pathogen profile and medical records. The President described the conditions as \"humiliating\" and emphasized that the Cabinet swiftly rejected the compact due to these issues.",
