It said President Nana Akufo-Addo revealed during his address to the United Nations 72nd General Assembly on Thursday, September 21, 2017 that: “Three weeks ago, highly-enriched uranium was flown out of Ghana back to China, signalling the end of the removal of all such material from the country.”

[contextly_sidebar id=”CrVY39ahLzAfnGEBW9HpXzACCbqQcYnj”]“Our nuclear reactor has subsequently been converted to use low-enriched fuel for power generation. A world, free of nuclear weapons, must be in all our collective interest.”

The Minority made the request in a statement signed by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament and Ranking Member, Committee on Foreign Affairs and copied to the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday.

It said: “Considering the recent Supreme Court decision in the GITMO 2 case when interpreting Article 75 of the Constitution of Ghana, it is clear that this arrangement, which has been shrouded in utmost secrecy ought to have received Parliamentary ratification at the very least before handing over our highly-enriched uranium to the Chinese if that is the path we consider to be in our strategic national interest.”

The statement reminded the Government of its obligations to several other agreements yet to be ratified by Parliament, and that “the Minority shall be pursuing this very important development in the spirit of transparency and good governance consistent with the view taken by the apex court of the land.”

Arsenal v Manchester City (kickoff at 5:30pm)

The big game Citi Sports will broadcast on the day.

If momentum is anything to go by then the outcome of Arsenal’s meeting with Manchester City on Saturday is a foregone conclusion.

Coming into the clash at the Emirates Stadium, the two teams could hardly have experienced weeks of greater contrast.

For City, it was a few days that it would have been difficult to imagine going any better. After a 5-0 cruise against Fulham last weekend, they then went to the famous home of their illustrious neighbors and brushed them aside by scoring a further three goals and extending their run of clean sheets in the league to five.

Three points off the Premier League summit but with two games in hand, Manuel Pellegrini’s side are now very much favorites to claim the title.

Just seven days ago, Arsenal had realistic hopes of lifting that same trophy in May. Not so now. Their confidence shattered by a 6-0 defeat to Chelsea, Arsenal then conceded a last minute own goal to cost them all three points against Swansea.

This Saturday, it’s another #CitiSports EPL Roadshow from the @ChampsGHAccra Sports Bar. Be there! pic.twitter.com/umnlqTUw6q

Manchester United v Aston Villa (kickoff at 12:30pm)

The Red Devils need to bounce back quickly from Tuesday’s derby defeat, while Villa are sure to be smarting from their 4-1 loss at home to Stoke last Sunday. The Villans’ inconsistency has hampered their season – in the previous week, they inflicted a rare defeat on title-chasing Chelsea.

Robin van Persie is absent for a few more weeks because of a sprained knee, but while defenders Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling missed the derby through injury, Nemanja Vidic is available again after a two-match suspension.

In their last meeting, Villa were clinically swept aside in December, with two goals from Danny Welbeck within three first-half minutes giving United a comfortable cushion before Tom Cleverley pounced just after half-time to effectively end the game as a contest.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea (kickoff at 3pm)

Palace welcome Premier League leaders Chelsea to Selhurst Park on Saturday and Pulis, who was appointed as Ian Holloway’s replacement in November, is looking to become the first man to keep a Crystal Palace side in the Premier League beyond a single season.

After his side went down to a closely-fought 2-1 loss at Stamford Bridge in December, former Stoke boss Pulis is hoping to get his own back on Blues manager Mourinho, who he holds in high regard having only come up against him for the first time last year

With three wins in his first six league games in charge at Selhurst Park, Pulis’ approach gave Palace fresh impetus following his initial appointment.

Be there!
