The celebration was used to honour senior members, corporate organisations and individuals whose contribution to the GJA has strengthened the association and its members to play their watchdog role and to ensure harmonious democratic governance in the country.

Former President of the association, Ambassador Kabral Blay Amihere; an Executive Director of DDP Outdoor Limited, Mr Togbor Mensah and the Daily Graphic newspaper were honoured.

Chairman of the National Peace Council, Professor, Emmanuel Asante and an International Evangelist, Dr Lawrence Tettteh, were among the clergy who attended the event.
