Parliament has received an original copy of the Bond of 1844, a defining document in the country's colonial and constitutional evolution.

The official handover took place in Accra, with Juliette Desplat, Head of International Affairs at the British National Archives, and Keith McMahon, Chargé d'Affaires at the British High Commission, presenting the document to Ghana's Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.

Describing the gesture as significant, Bagbin noted that it was more than a ceremonial gift. "This is a proud moment for Parliament and for all Ghanaians.

The Bond of 1844 is a critical piece of our history," he said.
