Members of Parliament have lauded the visit of President Barack Obama to Ghana on Friday, 10th to Saturday 11th July, saying it will help strengthen the relationship between Ghana and the USA. Apart from serving as a demonstration of American’s recognition of Ghana’s democratic credentials, the MPs noted that President Obama’s visit underlines the need for Ghana not to relax in its forward movement towards democracy.
