Under the agreement, the government will allow the US military unrestrained access to some facilities close to the Kotoka International Airport. The facilities will be a base where military equipment will be stored for exclusive use by the US military. Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Okudzeto Ablakwa believes the agreement favours the U.S. and undermines Ghana's sovereignty. He asked Ghanaians to look at issues bothering on security with a national eye and devoid of partisan views.
