The Minority Caucus in Parliament has declared its intention to join Ghana First Patriotic Front and National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) on Wednesday March 28, 2018 in Accra to protest against the US military pact.
The minority in a statement signed by the Ranking Member, Communications Committee, Parliament Alhaji A.B.A. Fuseini, it said their resistance to this betrayal does not end with their walk-out in Parliament when the NPP abused its majority.
‘We continue to explore many democratic options not limited to demonstrations, public fora, picketing, court actions and the notice we have served that a future NDC Government will urgently review this obnoxious agreement,’ the statement said.
Parliament on Friday March 24, 2018 ratified the Ghana – US military defense cooperation agreement which gives the US access to set up a base in Ghana with their equipment being tax free.

MINORITY DECLARES SUPPORT FOR AND PARTICIPATION IN GHANA FIRST DEMONSTRATION
The Minority Caucus in Parliament wishes to confirm that it has unanimously and without reservation resolved to support and join Ghanaians who will be demonstrating tomorrow morning in Accra against the Akufo-Addo Government’s betrayal of the Ghanaian people by surrendering our sovereignty and threatening the peace and stability of Ghana under the now infamous Ghana – US Military Base Agreement.
Minority Members of Parliament will join forces with the Ghana First Patriotic Front (GFPF) and all other groups who have so far registered their displeasure by expressing their unflinching support and participation in tomorrow’s march of destiny.
As we have stated time without number, the resistance to this betrayal does not end with our walk-out in Parliament when the NPP abused its majority.
We continue to explore many democratic options not limited to demonstrations, public fora, picketing, court actions and the notice we have served that a future NDC Government will urgently review this obnoxious agreement.
It must be stressed that this is a principled position and that any other country which brings a similar agreement for Ghana’s ratification will attract and face the same level of resistance.
Indeed, Ghana First! Signed, Alhaji A.B.A. Fuseini Ranking Member, Communications Committee, Parliament.
