  \"\" The Wenchi Municipal Assembly has commemorated the 67th Independence Day Anniversary Celebration under the theme “Our Democracy, Our Pride” with a clarion call on Ghanaian citizens to protect and promote the country’s democracy as it was not won on a silver platter but through the struggle, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, toils, blood and sweat of our fore bearers.<\/div>\n
