  "summary": "The Ministry of Defence in Ghana has unveiled a cenotaph in honour of the late former Defence Minister, Dr Edward Omane Boamah. The memorial serves to preserve Dr Boamah's memory and inspire future generations of public servants by reflecting his dedication to service, humility, and patriotism. Deputy Defence Minister, Dr Ernest Brogya Genfi, emphasized that the cenotaph is not intended to glorify Dr Boamah but to remind all officers, soldiers, civilian staff, and public servants of his commitment and sense of responsibility. The memorial was constructed at no cost to the state through the sponsorship of FG Global Company Limited, and was attended by President John Dramani Mahama and other dignitaries, including Burkina Faso’s Minister for War and Patriotic Defence, Major General Salif Simporé.",
