The Parliament of Ghana has a flag:
http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2009/07/obamas-tough-love-for-africa.php.
It is white with circular seal, consisting of a horizontally divided red/green
ring charged with 12 different white symbols, enclosing a gold disc with an
eagle perched on what I guess is the Parliament building, all over the words
PARLIAMENT OF GHANA in black all-capital letters.

The flag seal differs from the large metal seal behind the president. The
building is quite different, and on the flag version there may not be an eagle
atop it. Also there are 13 symbols on the flag; 7 on top, 6 on the bottom, all
symmetrical vertically. On the metal seal the lower semicircle of symbols is
replaced by the text "PARLIAMENT OF GHANA", which is moved there from the inner
part of the seal on the flag.

A clearer view of both seals could be seen at http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//090711/ids_photos_wl/r4113193625.jpg
(no longer available).
I think the metal plaque is merely a simpler
version of the seal shown on the flag. Both have the eagle atop some kind of
mace or staff, and the "building" in the metal seal looks like just a pediment,
probably part of the full parliament building as shown on the flag's seal.
