Speaking at the launch, the CEO of the Miss Tourism Ghana Organisation, Mrs. Delphine Brew-Hammond said, the Keep Ghana Clean campaign was to encourage everyone to go back to doing the little they can to keep the environment clean and safe for us all. It will also bring more tourists to the country if it is clean. Mrs. Brew-Hammond continued by saying “through the pageant, envisions a country with inspired and confident young women who are proud of who they are, and groomed to positively lead wherever they find themselves.” In her speech, she listed quite a number of contestants who have over the years represented Ghana in other international pageants and made the country proud.
