Abstract:
While The New Republic Of Ghana is continuing with the second five-year
development plan adopted in 1959, The United Africa Company is energetically
making its own contribution to the country's advancement
"That the powers of Government spring from the will of the people
and should be exercised in accordance therewith;
"That freedom and justice should be honored and maintained;
"That the union of Arica should be striven for by every lawful means
and, when attained, should be faithfully preserved;
"That the Independence of Ghana should not be surrendered or
diminished on any grounds other than the furtherance of African unity;
"That no person should suffer discrimination on grounds of sex, race,
tribe, religion or political belief;
"That Chieftaincy in Ghana should be guaranteed and-preserved;
"That every citizen of Ghana should receive his fair share of the produce
yielded by the development of the country;
"That ' subject to such restrictions as may be necessary for preserving
public order, morality or health, no person should be deprived
of freedom of religion or speech, of the right to move and assemble
without hindrance or of the right of access to courts of law; and
"That no person should be deprived of his property save in accordance
with law, and that no law should be made by which a person is
deprived of his property without adequate compensation other than
a law imposing taxation or prescribing penalties for offences or
giving restitution for civil wrongs or protecting health or property."
