He was not exactly enthused with the habitual absenteeism and has urged members to make it a point to always be present for the business of the House. The Majority Leader was confirming concerns raised by the First deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu, who described as “embarrassing” the act where Members of Parliament come in to sign and go back without taking part in parliamentary duties in the chamber. According to Mr Osei Owusu, when MPs didn’t have offices, they would come early, sit at the coffee shop and wait for proceedings to begin. He observed that since they were provided offices, they come in to sign and go back to sit in their offices.‘Becoming unbecoming’The First Deputy Speaker was reacting to concerns raised MP for Lambussie Karni Constituency, Edw

Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide The Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper has warned detractors that he will fight off any attempt to destroy him and his partner Anas Aremeyaw Anas. Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr was responding to allegations of crime and corruption levelled against him and the investigative journalist by an outspoken legislator for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong. Starting with the claims that Anas’ company has been evading tax, Mr Baako said the audited accounts of Finance Pharma Limited from 2011-2016 does not show any such circumvention. The veteran journalist told Peace FM’s Kokrokoo host Kwame Sefa Kayi that tax clearance from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) does not show any evasion. Mr Agyapong also sought to know the source of Anas’ wealth arguing that working only as a journalist should not allow him to obtain certain properties in the capital. But Mr Baako scoffed at the claims saying, the Ghanaian Const

While you were out celebrating the unofficial start of summer, President Donald Trump was tweeting. From Friday morning until Tuesday morning, Trump sent out 14 — yes, 14! — tweets focused on the ongoing Russia probe. The tweets — ranging from quotes of supportive voices from Fox News Channel to references to the”13 Angry Democrats” on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team to allegations of election meddling — illustrate Trump’s near-complete obsessions with the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and its impact on his presidency. What’s remarkable about the tweets — other than the pure number of them — is the similarities between them. Here’s one from Saturday: “This whole Russia Probe is Rigged. Just an excuse as to why the Dems and Crooked Hillary lost the Election and States that haven’t been lost in decades. 13 Angry Democrats, and all Dems if you include the people who worked for Obama for 8 years. #SPYGATE & CONFLICTS OF INTEREST!” And, here’s

An estimated 4,645 people died in Hurricane Maria and its aftermath in Puerto Rico, according to an academic report published Tuesday in a prestigious medical journal. That figure dwarfs Puerto Rico’s official death toll of 64, which the article’s authors called a”substantial underestimate” of Hurricane Maria’s death toll. “These numbers … underscore the inattention of the US government to the frail infrastructure of Puerto Rico,” authors from Harvard University and other institutions wrote in the New England Journalof Medicine. The official death toll in Puerto Rico has been the subject of substantial controversy since Hurricane Maria hit this island, a US territory, on September 20. CNN and other news outlets have used government statistics and extensive interviews with families of the deceased and funeral home directors to question the Puerto Rican government’s official tally of deaths. Previous estimates suggested Maria contributed to about 1,000 deaths. The team from Harvard

To begin with, I wish to draw the attention of the said group which claims to be proficient media men that my write-up captioned ‘SUHUM MP DISTRIBUTES OVER 1,800 MATH SETS TO 2018 BECE CANDIDATES……….’ was not a press statement but a story. As seasoned journalists that they wish us to believe, they shouldn’t be oblivious of the difference between the two. Now to the substantive issue, I will like to give a breakdown of the number of mathematical sets distributed by the MP of Suhum to clear the dus

Many of Ghana’s premier league teams have been caught in various match-fixing deals. This is captured as part of the grand undercover corruption exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas. The yet-to-be-released video shows the teams conniving to pre-determine the outcome of games they are involved in for their various interests. Although citinewsroom.com’s source did not name the clubs, the source said some top referees were also involved in some of the deals. Ghanaians are anticipating the screening of the investigative piece, dubbed “Number12” next month.

According to Ayensu Stephen, the Media Aide for Suhum MP, this gesture is the third of its kind from the lawmaker. The maiden edition of this kind gesture from the generous MP happened two years ago, thus 2016 which was an election year.

With the third edition this year, many constituents are now convinced that it is a move that has come to stay to help improve the academic performance and basic examination results in the municipality. The Suhum legislature, Hon Frederick Opare-Ansah is currently ou

No wonder they are confused with dates. The one year achievements chalked by the Suhum Municipal Chief Executive, Hon Margaret Darko Darkwah and the Assembly seems to be a heavy blow to the NDC in Suhum as their eight years in power has no good story to tell to the people in the constituency. The exercise conducted by the “Suhum Development Agenda” identifying the developmental projects within the past one year was not done in a vacuum and for that matter extended consultation was considered both from the Assembly and the Commun

President Nana Akufo-Addo has said that the so-called unprecedented projects, especially roads, which former President John Dramani Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC) government spoke about are nowhere to be found.

Dr Clement Apaak, Member of Parliament for Builsa Southhas called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his government to tell Ghanaians the cost incurred in printing the 2017 and 2018 presidential dairies. According to him, it would be better for NPP government to come clean on the matter as a way of ensuring transparency for the country. Dr Apaak made the called during an interaction with the media in Parliament after the House adjourned sitting for the day.Nana Akufo-Addo, then flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2015 alleged at an International Conference of the NPP at the NH Grand in Amsterdam that President John Mahama’s administration had spent$10 million on printing presidential diaries.

According to Dr Bawumia, the Nana Akufo-Addo ticket hasfulfilled a large portion of the social contract it signed with the Ghanaian people after 16 months in office, and the government is working assiduously to ensure the fulfilment of the remainder to ensure improvements in the wellbeing of ordinary citizens. “We made a number of promises to Ghanaians, and we are working day and night to fulfil them. Some of them wehave already fulfilled. For instance, we promised Free Senior High School Education and true to our word, we have started. Today, finance is no longer a barrier to access to education for Junior High School graduates. That is a great burden lifted off the shoulders of parents by Nana Akufo-Addo’s government.” The Vice President, w

A political science lecturer has warned the National Democratic Congress will jeopardise its chances of winning the 2020 elections should it elect former president John Mahama as its flagbearer. In the analysis of Dr. Osei Bonsu of the Methodist University, nothing has changed from the events and factors that led to the “miserable” defeat of Mahama in the 2016 presidential election for him to make a comeback. Even though Mahama has since losing the election remained tight-lipped over calls by some party members for him to declare to once again run for the party’s flagbearership, he on Saturday responded favourably to the calls.“To you the teeming supporters and sympathizers calling and requesting me to declare my intentions for the future, I wish to assure you today, that as a servant-leader, I have listened to your calls and reflected. “I will not disappoint you even as we await the publication of the party’s guidelines for selecting a new leader,” he indirectly declared to contest

The zeal and determination of the average sympathizer ofour great party is greater and miles ahead of what it was after the December 2016 Elections. We need to keep up with the momentum generated and follow the published timelines.

Former Miss Ambassador for Peace, Beauty Istifanus, has said in a chat with Vanguard that the issue of domestic  violence has continued to be on the increase mainly because more women have refused to submit to their men.  The beauty queen also buttressed her belief that women are inferior to men and that gender equality is impossible. “Gender equality is not possible in this part of the world because men are superior to women. This is my own opinion and I’m unapologetic about it. The major cause of domestic violence in homes today is the unwillingness of the wife to be submissive to her husband, thereby bringing friction between them. My advice to women is that they should be submissive to their husbands and in return they will be respected.”  she said

The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says his government is going to use oil revenues to create assets for the country, and not waste it on consumption. According to President Akufo-Addo, as a relatively new entrant in the league of oil-producing countries, Ghana is not going to treat her oil like she has done with gold, and allow it to be exported in its raw material form as crude. Ghana’s oil, President Akufo-Addo explained, presents the country with the perfect opportunity to transform the structure of Ghanaian economy through industrialization and value-added commercial activities. “Our oilfields provide us with the perfect opportunity to create a petrochemical industry in Ghana. We have begun the processes leading to the setting up of a gas feedstock industrial estate in the Western Region of the country,” he said. The President indicated further that “we intend to convert our petrochemicals into hundreds of industrial and consumer products produced in G

Former President John Kufuor has attributed Ghana’s slow pace of development to failed leadership. Mr. Kufuor believes a mineral-rich country like Ghana should have been better developed than currently is the case. The former president said most of the country’s leaders across sectors are performing poorly because they were forced into those positions. He was speaking at the launch of an endowment fund for the John Agyekum Kufuor Foundation in Accra. The problem of unprepared leaders is not limited to Ghana, it pervasive in much of Africa, he said.But “I don’t blame the leaders because many of them wereforced into leadership positions; they were not prepared;…you cannot give leadership in any sector [to anybody] without they being prepared in terms of knowledge and experience and exposure,” he stressed. Mr. Kufour wants the process of preparing the country’s leaders to be focused on the youth, who form the foundation for Ghana’s leap to prosperity. He said businesses in a develop

Although he is yet to declare his political future, Mr Mahama told the NDC’s maiden Conference of Ex-MMDCEs on Saturday that with their help at the grassroots level, the party would surely return to the reins of government after the 2020 elections. “We count on you to help us at the lower level, the grassroots level to make sure that things go very well”, Mr Mahama charged the ex-MMDCes, adding: “We have the ability to capture more than 50 seats back from the NPP in the next elections if we handle ourselves well and if we’re to handle ourselves well and make this reorganisation effective, then you cannot exclude the role of DCEs at the grassroots level and I’m sure that with the zeal and the passion that I’ve seen in you today, nothing makes me doubt that by the grace of God, Insha Allah, we’ll win 2020 and come back into government”. If he decides to run
