Hon Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that on this day in 1957 Ghana gained its independence from Britain;
2) further notes that the people of Ghana, under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah were the first African people's to gain independence from a colonial power;
3) acknowledges that throughout the continent strived and continue to strive for their total liberation;
4) further acknowledges that in the 20th the people of Africa achieved political freedom through struggle, sweat, blood and sacrifice;
5) recognises that political freedom means little without economic freedom and for our country, we still have a long way to go in realising the total liberation of the continent;
6) further recognises that we are inspired by the people of Ghana as it embarks on generational struggle of economic freedom; and
7) call the council to congratulates the people of Ghana on their historic anniversary.
I thank you.
