Hundreds of Ghana opposition members took to the streets of the capital, Accra, to demonstrate against a government decision to allow a USA military base in the West African nation.
"It is good for us to tell the American Congress that we are not interested in the deal that their government sent to Ghana and therefore they must revisit it". The police established their presence in the capital to ensure security throughout the march.
A controversial pact, in which the United States military wants to invest $20 million and get access to Ghana's runways and communications, set off rallies in the West African nation, with people chanting their country is "not for sale". "He is the president of Ghana". As part of the agreement, Washington would allocate around $20 million to train the Ghanaian military, carrying out joint exercises and using the nation's radio channels and runways, the New York Times reported.
"Having partaken in the struggle and fight towards our independence, we can never sit unconcerned when it comes to an agreement which has the tendency of compromising our sovereignty and integrity", said National Union of Ghana Students President Frank Amoako Hene, who joined the protesters Wednesday.

Dr Kobby Mensah agrees with the majority of Ghanaians who believe the deal which gives access to the United States military to undertake some exercises among others in Ghana, puts the security of the country in jeopardy.
The Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, explained that the document is a "defence cooperation agreement" between the two countries for joint training which involves the use of two building at the Kotoka International Airport.
Some of the provisions, like legal immunity, would be reciprocal for Ghanaian troops attending military training overseas in the US, embassy officials told the Times.
Joint exercises were planned for this year "which require access to Ghanaian bases by U.S. participants and those from other nations when included", according to the embassy. "We refer all questions to the government of Ghana", the USA embassy added.
