• Kwame Adoo-Kufuor - Minister for Defence (January 2001 – July 2007)

You were appointed Minister for Defence for the Republic of Ghana on 7 January 2001, for the past seven years you have served your country and the Ghana Armed Forces with distinction and excellence. The Ghana Armed Forces has been able to re-engineer for itself a new image and an enviable identity as true partners in national development during your tenure of office. With great foresight, determination, fortitude and empathy, you succeeded in vastly improving the circumstances of Officers, Men and Women of the Ghana Armed Forces and thereby boosted the image of the military profession. You pursued pragmatic policies that also Impacted-on our civilian supporting staff and families at large. These you achieved by selflessly and diligently soliciting for support for the construction arid installation of facilities that bear testimony to your stature and capacity as an astute leader in modern day Ghana. Posterity shall always remember the new Burma Hall Complex, a legacy of an ICT Centre of Excellence, the refurbished 31 Military Hospital that has now assumed the status of a Teaching Hospital, the Chinese Flats that gave so much solace to the average soldier, very ambitious programmes for barracks accommodation with an improved office environment for all Garrisons, sound financial policies for the training and upkeep of personnel and a cherished legacy for tolerance, respect and support for Ghana's young democracy. Your pacifist stance finds expression in the giant Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre. In times of darkness you were a beacon of light; in times of uncertainties you were a shoulder to lean upon; in times of joy you beamed hope and encouragement for greater things to come. Your interactive durbars were some of the hallmarks of your administration. For being a pillar of support for the Ghana Armed forces in the defence of the territorial integrity of Ghana; for exhibiting excellent leadership qualities that have greatly motivated Officers Men and Women of the Ghana Armed Forces and the Civilian supporting staff; and for the countless projects and programmes that, as a great Statesman, you have initiated to enhance the professional competence of the Ghanaian soldier: this citation is proudly awarded to you, Honorable Dr. Kwame Addo-Kufuor, the immediate past Minister for Defence.
