General News of Friday, 6 April 2018Source: Classfmonline.comDefence deal: Ghana’s sovereignty not sold – BombandeFormer Deputy Foreign Minister, Emmanuel BombandeAlthough there are some defects in the military agreement which Ghana has signed with the United States of America (USA), the sovereignty of the West African country has not been sold, Emmanuel Bombande, a former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in the Mahama administration, has said. Mr Bombande had earlier held the view that the deal was bad for Ghana. He further indicated that the intransigent stance against the deal should not be seen as an anti-US movement. I’ll never be the president that will compromise or sell the sovereignty of our country. I respect deeply the memory of the great patriots who sacrificed and toiled and brought about our independence and freedom.”
