“Fellow countrymen and women. On behalf of the Parliament of Ghana, I extend warm greetings to you all as we celebrate our 66th Independence anniversary.  This is a time for us to reflect on the progress we have made as a nation and to recommit ourselves to the ideals of democracy, freedom and justice for which our forefathers fought.

“We must also remember those who paid the ultimate price for our independence and pledge never to take our freedoms for granted,” Mr. Bagbin wrote on his Facebook to mark the 66th Independence Day Celebration underway at Ho in the Volta region on March 6, 2023. 

He continued: “As this year also marks the 30th anniversary of the Parliament of Ghana under the fourth republican constitution, we must pause and reflect on the journey thus far. Let us work together to build a stronger, more prosperous Ghana that will be a source of pride for all its citizens.

“Happy Independence Day!”
