The aide-de-camp is a military or naval officer who serves as a confidential assistant and secretary to a high-ranking person.
The term "aide-de-camp" comes from the French phrase camp assistant.
President Akufo-Addo's aide-de-camp is a Brigadier General in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
The incident briefly interrupted the President's address but he resumed his presentation after a few minutes, after the ADC had been aided to walk out of the chamber.
