They declared that "the ARREST Agenda is the best suited and in sync with the national development demands of our time." Additionally, they highlighted the significance of collaboration, consultation, and a common purpose in achieving the goals of the agenda.
To ensure effective communication and coordination in advancing the agenda, the parties recommended Mrs. Cornelia Kruah-Togba, Deputy Minister for Administration at the Ministry of State, as the Liaison. Representative Richard N. Koon of the House represented the Rescue Legislative Caucus, Acting Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Samuel A. Stevquoah signed for the Administration, and Honorable Ben Fofana, Unity Party Vice Chairman for Governmental Affairs & International Relations, signed for the Unity Party.
