Parliament on the night of Friday March 23, 2018, approved the controversial Ghana-US defence cooperation agreement which seeks to provide the United States access into the country to camp its military forces.

The approval was done by only Majority Members of Parliament because the Minority staged a walkout during the debate on the floor of the House.

On Tuesday, 20th March, the Bank of Ghana announced it was taking over uniBank as the bank had failed to come up with a plan of action to correct all deficiencies identified in its operations.

The management of the bank has been handed over to KPMG who has assured clients that the bank is still safe for business.

The Right to Information bill was finally laid before parliament on Friday, 23rd March 2018 before the house went on recess.
