Mahama gave Ghana’s Bauxite to his brother but Akufo-Addo changed narrative – Samira Bawumia

Second Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Samira Bawumia, has said that President Akufo-Addo has achieved a lot in the four years and lauded him for terminating Ibrahim Mahama’s bauxite deal.

Samira in her campaign, hit out at the John Dramani Mahama government when he compared his administration to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

She explained that President Akufo-Addo’s great contribution to the development of Ghana in the past three years should persuade Ghanaians to give him another term.

Unlike Mahama who awarded Ghana’s bauxite contract to his brother, the Presidential candidate of the NPP didn’t award contracts to his close family members, she said.

“This election is not about an individual, it is about our nation Ghana. It is not for you and me alone, it is about the future of Ghana. For the good job His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and my own Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the kind of work they have done and served Ghana, we have to consolidate our gains.”

Mrs. Bawumia cited the depreciation of the cedi, erratic power supply and economic hardship as some of the things Ghanaians endured under the NDC government.

She said: “God intervened and blessed us by giving us His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. So, we will not make that mistake again. We will not move backwards; we are moving forward.”

“By God’s grace, we are winning and will win again. When a certain President came, he gave all Ghana’s Bauxite to his brother, but President Akufo-Addo changed the narrative and he said he will let all Ghanaians benefit from Ghana’s resources. If you don’t want this, what do you want again? Although we don’t have much of a problem in the Ashanti Region, just like the Regional Women Organizer said, more than 51% of the registered voters are women which means if the women vote, victory will certainly be ours. But we need a 100% turnout to let Nana Akufo-Addo win the elections,” she added.

NDC’s Manifesto is the will of the People -Prof. Naana Opoku Agyemang
The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, says it is high time the will of the people is brought to mainstream governance, hence the NDC’s People’s Manifesto.
She intimates that the times when leaders sat in Accra and drafted manifestos for the people are long gone.
“We must make sure the exact cry of the people are incorporated into policy documents to ensure the people benefit directly”.

She made this known when she took her campaign tour to Kwasiadukrom in the Bodi constituency of the Western North Region.
Addressing chiefs and people of the area, Prof Opoku-Agyemang said the NDC’s yet to be launched manifesto is a document that will address the felt needs of the people towards national development.
She pointed out that ‘The Big Push’ agenda in the manifesto, for instance, when implemented will ensure job creation for many people, adding the youth will be given hands-on skills training and projects started by the NDC government, which have been abandoned by the current government, will be completed.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang specifically called on women to rally behind the John and Jane ticket, especially as issues affecting women and children, are on top of the NDC’s agenda.
“This is our time as women and we must take advantage of the opportunity”, she said.

Breaking: Gov’t Suspends $1bn Agyapa Deal

Breaking: Gov’t Suspends $1bn Agyapa Deal

The government has suspended the controversial Agyapa deal, which leverages Ghana’s mineral resources for $1bn in development finance, for ‘broader consultations.

The decision follows government engagement with civil society organisations, urging government to suspend it, describing the deal as opaque and amounting to ‘elite capture’

In a 15-point statement issued by the Finance Ministry, government said it would be meeting faith-based organisations, traditional leaders, academia and organised labour in the coming days.

The suspension of the Agyapa Royalties deal comes less than four weeks after the bill creating the deal was passed in Parliament – without Minority support.

 

About the deal

Government is looking for cash to finance capital expenditure and wants to leverage the country’s mineral resources to raise $1bn.

In the deal, 75.6% of royalties of at least 16 gold mining companies will go into Agyapa Royalties Ltd.

The company will list on the London Stock Exchange and the Ghana Stock Exchange and float 49% shares valued at $1bn.

It hopes to get investors to buy shares while Agyapa Ltd collects gold royalties from future mineral resources to pay as dividend to shareholders.

Agyapa Royalties Ltd is also incorporated in a tax haven, British channel island, Jersey, where companies don’t pay corporate tax. It means the company will enjoy considerable tax reliefs.

The Finance Ministry has touted the deal as an opportunity for Ghanaians to own a share of the country’s mineral resources and also an inventive way to raise money for development.

CSOs meet government

At a meeting Tuesday, leading CSOs interacted with the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta and requested for further documents to allay their concerns.

The Finance Minister obliged.

Suspension announced

Barely 72 hours after the meeting, the Finance Ministry has announced it was holding on, ceding to the demand by the group.

The statement stressed the deal nonetheless was not shrouded in secrecy and that was done in “the full glare of parliament in the spirit and letter of transparency”

African Cup of Nation’s trophy missing in Egypt

African Cup of Nation’s trophy missing in Egypt

The Africa Cup of Nations trophy retained has reportedly been “stolen” from the Egyptian Football Association headquarters in Cairo.

The Egyptian Football Federation confirmed to

Goal

that the trophy won by the Pharaohs three times in a row has been lost.
Ex-Egyptian Football Association vice-president Ahmed Shobeir earlier revealed that the trophy was discovered missing during preparations to build a museum to house all of the silverware won by the North African nation.

“Officials of the committee which meets every five years and currently manages the Football Association were surprised that the trophy was not available, in light of their desire to create a museum at the federation headquarters, which would feature the trophy and the national team’s kits,” Shobeir said on the

‘On Time Sports’ TV

show.
“However, [they] were surprised to find that the Afcon trophy was lost, and decided to open an investigation.”

It was initially claimed that former captain Ahmed Hassan – who skippered the team to success at the biennial tournament in 2006, 2008, and 2010 – was in possession of the trophy, although he subsequently denied the claim.

“The committee searched for the trophy, but then an employee told them that Ahmed Hassan, the former captain of the Egyptian national team, who won the cup three times in a row, has kept it,” Shobeir added.

Later, ex-Egypt midfielder Abdelghani clarified in a press conference that the trophy had been lost in a fire seven years ago.

“After the burning of the Football Association headquarters, some cups were lost, and the matter was investigated,” the former FA member began, “including the Africa Cup of Nations that we retained.

“Some said that the cup had been with Shawky Gharib, the former general coach of the Egypt national team, and some say it had been with Hassan, the former captain of the Pharaohs.”

After learning of the trophy’s disappearance, Hassan took to social media to express his dismay at the loss.

“I wish I had kept the cup in my house instead of it being lost,” he posted on his @AhmedHassan Twitter handle, “and I am surprised that I’m being questioned about the cup after nine years, despite the presence of two FA boards, and the five-year committee for a year and two months…but they’re only now looking for the cup!

“One of the members of the five-year committee contacted me and told me that they would put a picture of me with the African Nations Cup on the wall inside the federation,” Hassan continued, “and he asked me about the cup.

“I told him that I had delivered it back in 2011, and he said to me: ‘I wish you had not handed it over, as the cup is not at the association now.’”

Egypt are the most successful country in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations, having won the trophy seven times since 1957.

Their trio of consecutive successes between 2006 and 2010 is an unprecedented feat in the history of the African game.

Greed, love for money reason why smaller parties have not merged – Advocate

Social policy advocate Mr. Kojo Addo has opined that the difficulty for the smaller opposition parties to join forces so they could unseat the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) is premised on personal greed and desire for money.

Responding to the question on whether the smaller parties could make any difference should they join their forces, he said all these parties have their ideologies and these ideologies are what has divided these parties.

He believes it would be important for them to streamline their ideologies, come tother and form a coalition so they become a stronger force.

But this will not be easy since these parties all have their own interest and it shows that these parties do not have the interest of Ghanaians at heart but come in for their own selfish interest.

He made reference to the recent brouhaha that hist the Coalition of Independent Presidential Aspirants where Mr. Marricke Kofi Gane resigned from the group due to their differences.

He said the Coalition had planned to form a united front but had differences on the modalities to be used and this shows that people who usually seek political power only think about themselves.

Meanwhile, he has advised politicians to desist from the politics of insults and focus on the issues and policies.

The 2020 polls he added must be issue-based and devoid of vilification and unnecessary attacks on opponents.

We’ll fight Asanko Mining with our blood – Kwabenaso farmers fume over military brutality

Farmers of Kwabenaso and its environs in the Amansie South District in the Ashanti Region have declared war on Asanko Mining over police and military brutality.

Over 1000 farmers including residents in four communities – Kwabenaso, Adubiaso, Abiram, Kaniago – embarked on a demonstration to express their grievances, alleging that they are being intimidated and brutalized by police and military personnel working for Asanko mining firm.

The aggrieved farmers expressing their displeasure in an interview with Pure FM’s Osei Kwadwo claimed they have been brutalized on several occasions on their farms by the security personnel.

“The police and military are working for Asanko Mining and they are preventing us from going to our farm lands. Asanko mining is using illegal means to take away our farm lands from us”.

“We are afraid to visit our farms because of the police and the military brutality. We are starving. Our farmlands have been destroyed by Asanko Mining without compensation,” one of the demonstrators stressed on their points.

The farmers have called on government and the Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah to come to their aid to address their concerns.

Meanwhile, the Adubiaso Chief Linguist Nana Kwame Mensah said brutality from the police and the military on farmers has become a major challenge affecting farming activities in the communities.

“Per the agreement between traditional leaders and the Asanko mining, they promised to employ youth in the communities to help reduce the unemployment rate but they have failed to fulfil their promise. We will not allow Asanko Mining to take us for granted,” Nana Mensah explained.

“We will fight with our blood to save and protect our lands. Brutality from police and the military must stop else we will defend ourselves. They should employ our youth and stop using military and police to chase farmers from their farms”.

Kennedy Agyapong makes u-turn on Anas, praises him for exposing corrupt judges

In what could be his first-ever public declaration of admiration for the ace investigative journalist’s works, Kennedy Agyapong has given Anas Aremeyaw credit for his documentary on the judiciary.

Kennedy Agyapong’s dislike for Anas’ works is well documented and has even resulted in legal battles.

Check This Out:  Keep insulting me and you’ll be in opposition forever – Owusu Bempah to NDC

The MP has always amid wild and unproven allegations held that the highly-respected investigative journalist is a ‘fraudster’.

His incessant attacks on Anas landed him in a defamation suit which he lost and had to make some compensations.

But after being confronted with the reality, Kennedy Agyapong has now made a u-turn on his perception of Anas.

Speaking on Net 2, Kennedy Agyapong commended Anas for exposing what he now thinks is deep-rooted corruption in the judiciary.

A livid Kennedy Agyapong vowed to do ‘worse’ than Anas and expose all judges who he alleges are perpetuating injustice in the system.

He promised to petition the Chief Justice for him to investigate the judges. “Anas was partially right. Judges are also corrupt. I’m going to tell the Chief Justice. I won’t set them up or take bribes but I will disgrace you”.

Journalists in the country were also not left out of Kennedy Agyapong’s criticism.

He asserted that Ghanaian journalists receive bribes under the guise of ‘soli’.

He noted that most journalists have made properties from ‘bribes’ paid them by politicians.

“In Ghana, it is only journalists who take bribes and call it soli. They take bribes more than everyone. All the big journalists, their houses were bought for them by ex-presidents and head of states”.

Keep insulting me and you’ll be in opposition forever – Owusu Bempah to NDC

Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, the leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry has urged flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama to ‘call his boys to order’ or forget about being president again.

Owusu Bempah is fuming over what he claims to be false allegations and insults directed at him by some persons associated with the NDC.

Bempah says some youth who identify with the NDC and its flagbearer have made a habit of attacking him on any platform available to them.

The man of God cautioned those persons against peddling falsehood against him.

Among the allegations which he says have been made against him is a prophecy that Akufo-Addo will die if he does not build a national cathedral.

He asked them to learn from the NPP communicators who in his wisdom speak to issues and not attack personalities.

He warned that failure of the NDC to tame its ‘attack dogs’ will keep them in opposition for eternity.

“They are alleging that I have said that President Akufo-Addo will die if he doesn’t build a national cathedral. I want to say that it is not true and I have never said it anywhere. I don’t know where they heard it from but it is not true”.

“You can’t use politics and say negative things about me. If Mahama thinks Kevin Taylor can help him win the elections, then he should forget. Because that guy’s comment and conduct are not good. Abronye and Ernest Owusu Bempah always discuss issues instead of persons”.

“I can equally insult them but it’s because of my work. I’m not afraid of anyone but I am God’s servant. I’m not God but I want them to know that the more they insult me, the more they will be in opposition” he said on Okay FM.

Agyapa deal: Gabby Otchere-Darko’s law firm pocketed US$103,000 – Kweku Baako

Agyapa deal: Gabby Otchere-Darko’s law firm pocketed US$103,000 – Kweku Baako

Veteran journalist Kweku Baako has dispelled notions that Africa Legal Associates, a law firm owned by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko was paid US$2 million for its work on the Agyapa Royalties Agreement.

The figure has been bandied about by some persons as the amount Gabby and his firm grabbed for their advisory role on the deal.

But Baako claims the quoted amount is way above what was paid the law firm by government.

He clarified that a UK-based law firm was the principal advisors on the deal and Africa Legal Associates worked for the firm.

“It is not true that Gabby’s firm got US$2 million from the deal. It is not true that his firm is a beneficiary of US$2 million. It’s not even up to US$105,000. It is the main transaction advisor that paid Gabby. It is about US$103,000. It is not US$2 million”.

One major issue that has emanated from the brouhaha surrounding the deal is the role of Osafo-Maafo’s son and Gabby Otchere Darko.

Bar the assertions of nepotism, the likelihood of conflict of interest has been brought up by people who are unhappy with the presence of the two individuals around that deal.

Baako, however, thinks that people are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Baako likened it to Ibrahim Mahama’s companies getting contracts during Mahama regime and Nana Konadu Agyemang under the Rawling regime.

“We have to be consistent. We have to be coherent. I don’t expect everybody to agree with me and I expect people who disagree to it vehemently, if they like violently, disagree with me and criticize me”.

 

“The way we’re going around this politics, the so-called conflict of interest relative to political office holders over the period, I see a certain huge area of inconsistency and incoherence and I’m worried about that. This is not going to be the last time this will happen; you bet me!”

Meanwhile, the government has placed the deal on ice to allow further deliberations with Civil Society Organizations.

Mark Agyemang the Technical Manager for the Public Interest and the Accountability Committee (PIAC) says the government is prepared to listen to the CSOs.

Fact Checker: Oko-Boye’s claim that Togo charges €150 for coronavirus test at airport ‘outright lie’
CLAIM: Ghana’s Deputy Health Minister Dr Bernard Okoe-Boye passengers who arrive in Togo pay 150 euros for the PCR COVID-19 test. He also claims that in Zimbabwe persons pay about 210 dollars for the COVID-19 test.

VERDICT: OUTRIGHT LIE

FULL TEXT:

On Sunday, President Akufo Addo addressed the nation on measures taken to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his address, the President announced the re-opening of Ghana’s air borders on September 1 and outlined a number of measures. Among the measures, passengers who enter the country are required to have proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test and are mandated to undergo COVID-19 testing upon arrival at the Kotoka International Airport. The next day, the government convened a press briefing to provide further information about the arrangements.

At that press briefing, deputy health minister Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye justified the 150 dollar cost for the COVID-19 test to be done at the airport by making comparisons with what pertains in other countries. He mentioned a number of countries including Togo and Zimbabwe.

Specifically, the deputy minister said the cost of the PCR test in Togo is 150 euros while in Zimbabwe persons pay 210 dollars for the test

Dr. Oko Boye said: “when you go to a place like Zimbabwe, you will about 210 dollars for the test. Now when you go Togo here, you will pay about 150 euros, not dollars”

VERIFICATION:

Starrfmfactchecker limited the verification of this claim to the specific countries mentioned by the deputy health minister. Before anything, it is important to provide some explanation about COVID-19 testing.

Type of COVID-19 tests around the world:

Tests for COVID-19 are categorized in three types namely PCR test, antigen test and antibody (serology) test. PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction and is a test that looks for bits of the SARS-CoV-2 which is the virus that causes the COVID-19 in the nose and other areas of the respiratory tract. It determines if a person has an active infection.

Antigen test looks for pieces of the protein that constitutes the SARS-CoV-2 virus to determine if a person has an active infection. An antibody test is a serological test that looks for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in the blood to determine if there has been a past infection. Although both PCR and Antigen tests determine if there’s an active infection of the COVID-19, PCR is more expensive and takes more time than the antigen test. Source: https://www.dshs.state.tx.us/coronavirus/docs/COVID19-PCRvsSerologyTesting.pdf

Again PCR tests are typically highly accurate and usually do not need to be repeated. For Antigen tests, positive results are usually highly accurate but negative results may need to be confirmed with a molecular test. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/coronavirus-testing-basics

A number of countries are conducting COVID-19 testing at airports; Iceland, France, Germany, Russia, China among others. https://www.nsmedicaldevices.com/analysis/covid-19-testing-airports/

Ghana’s testing regime:

Travellers arriving into Ghana since the resumption of passenger flights on September 1 are required to present proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken not more than 72 hours before the scheduled departure from countries. On arrival, all passengers will undergo mandatory COVID-19 testing. This test according to deputy health minister Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye should not last more than 30 minutes and will come at a cost of 150 dollars to be borne by the passenger.

The type of testing being done at the Kotoka International Airport is the antigen test. Government officials say the amount of 150 dollars was reached upon a careful analysis of what happens elsewhere in other countries. In defending the price, the deputy health minister mentioned Zimbabwe, China, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Starrfmfactchecker sought to verify the costs for tests in these countries as mentioned by the Deputy Health Minister.

WHAT HAPPENS IN TOGO?

The number of COVID-19 cases: Togo confirmed its first case of the COVID-19 on March 6 2020. As of September 2, 2020, the Africa Center for Disease Control reported that the country had one thousand four hundred and sixteen total confirmed cases, twenty-eight deaths and one thousand and thirty-five recoveries. (https://africacdc.org/covid-19/)

Status of International Travel: The government of Togo announced the closure of all borders with immediate effect on Friday, March 20, 2020. All non-essential inbound and outbound traffic and travel was prohibited per that order with only cargo allowed into the country. https://www.garda.com/crisis24/news-alerts/326281/togo-authorities-shut-borders-put-four-cities-on-lockdown-march-20-update-2 ,    https://www.ippf.org/blogs/covid-19-impact-what-we-know-so-far-togo

International and domestic flights resumed in Togo on August 1, 2020, with the announcement of COVID-19 protocols.

First, all travellers both departing and arriving are mandated to register and fill an online traveller declaration form on the government’s website www.voyage.gouv.tg. Any traveller departing from Lomé must undergo a COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours before departure. A laboratory dedicated to screening passengers departing from Lomé is set up in the enclosure of the old terminal of Gnassingbé Eyadema International Airport (AIGE) for COVID-19 screening tests.

Again any passenger entering Lome has to present a negative PCR test dating less than 5 days before boarding. Upon arrival, the passenger is subjected to another PCR test. Source: https://voyage.gouv.tg/. For this purpose, he must complete the online form available on www.voyage.gouv.tg and pay the cost of the said test before their departure. The on-site PCR test that passengers undergo at the airport upon arrival is CFA 40,000 which is equivalent to 72 US dollars and approximately £55. Source: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/togo/entry-requirements,

https://travelbans.org/africa/togo/

All travellers must install TOGO SAFE. It is a contact tracing application which must be installed upon arrival at the Lomé Airport. It is mandatory for the app to remain activated for at least 30 days. Passengers who do not install the app are quarantined in a containment facility provided by the government for at least 14 days. The cost of the quarantine is borne by the traveller. https://www.balglobal.com/bal-news/togo-covid-19-flights-resume-travel-requirements-announced/ Test results arrive within 24 hours. Those with positive test results will be required to self-isolate either at home or at a government facility until they test negative. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/togo/entry-requirements

From the foregoing facts, the Starrfmfactchecker finds the claim made by Deputy Health Minister that passengers pay 150 euros for the test false. The cost of the on-site PCR test done at Lomé Airport is less than 100 euros.

WHAT HAPPENS IN ZIMBABWE

The number of COVID-19 cases: Zimbabwe reported its first case of the novel coronavirus on 21st March 2020. It now has a cumulative case count of six thousand, five hundred and fifty-nine cases, deaths stand at two hundred and three while two hundred and forty-one persons have recovered from the COVID-19 ( https://africacdc.org/covid-19/)

Status of International Travel: On Monday, March 24, 2020, Zimbabwe’s President Emerson Mnangagwa announced the closure of the country’s borders to all human traffic except for returning residents and cargo. He announced then that returning residents will be subjected to strict screening procedures including a 21-day self-quarantine. Source: https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1183572.shtml

At the moment, Zimbabwe is closed for passenger flights. Only Zimbabwean nationals are allowed into the country. Zimbabwe’s Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa says “the plan is to start with the resumption of domestic flights and then move to international flights” adding that “Government is finalizing on modalities for the reopening of airports to support the resumption of the tourism sector” http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-09/02/c_139336251.htm

Since Zimbabwe’s air borders are still not opened for international flights, protocols only relate to returning citizens. Starrfmfactchecker checked with Zimbabwe’s Health Ministry about COVID-19 arrangements for returning citizens. An official from the Epidemiology and Disease Control(EDC) department told Starr Fm’s correspondent in Zimbabwe that citizens who arrive are to be tested. The official, however, added that government facilities do not have the capacity to test at the moment so persons are referred to private centres to do the test.

The cost of the test is therefore dependent on the institution where the test is done. The Health Ministry says it is not aware that persons are charged 210 US dollars to take the COVID-19 test at these private centres although in the past some persons have taken the test at a cost of 65 US dollars.

The EDC official says travellers can either be quarantined at government institutions or private institutions. Starrfmfactchecker did an online search about private institutions offering COVID-19 packages, below is the one from the Bronte, The Garden Hotel, Harare, Zimbabwe

From the above, it is not true that passengers are made to pay 210 dollars to take the COVID-19 test in Zimbabwe as is being claimed by the Deputy Health Minister. Zimbabwe’s government has not yet made a decision about when to allow international flights. The only persons allowed to enter Zimbabwe currently are citizens who are referred to private facilities to take the test when they enter the country at a cost that is not determined by the government but by the private facilities.

Again Starrfmfactchecker finds the comparisons made by Dr. Bernard Oko Boye to be misleading especially in the case of Togo where the on-site COVID-19 test is done is the Gold standard PCR test known to be more expensive than the antigen test being done at the Kotoka International Airport.

Starrfmfactchecker therefore rates Dr. Bernard Oko Boye’s claim that Passengers who arrive in Togo pay 150 euros for the PCR test and those in Zimbabwe pay 210 dollars as an outright lie. And is given two stars.
