NDC administration never cancelled Teacher and Trainee Nurses allowances – Jane Opoku Agyemang

Running mate of NDC Flagbearer, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, says providing the youth of the country with requisite skills to fit into the job market is one of the issues the NDC Government will give attention to when voted into office.

Speaking on GBC-URA Radio’s Sunrise Morning show in Bolgatanga, as part of her two-day tour of the Upper East Region, Prof Opoku Agyemang refuted claims that the NDC Government cancelled the Book and Research Allowance for University Lecturers. She said the NDC never cancelled the Teacher and Trainee Nurses allowances either.

Prof. Opoku Agyemang explained that, as the then Minister of Education, Government gave a one-year prior notice to the students to be on loans as the allowances will be withdrawn.

This was to increase Student enrolment into the training colleges and abolish quota admissions.

She accused the NPP of changing the system by bringing back the allowances and reducing the number of student enrolment into the country’s Training Colleges.

National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has sparked controversy on social media platform; twitter, following comments he made on same.

Sammy Gyamfi posted a video of President Akufo-Addo, with the caption,

“Greetings to “Papano”, who is famed for groping women, has slept with more than half of his female appointees and has rewarded them with juicy appointments.” In his concluding tweet, he tagged Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah as gay.

“Mr Speaker, I want to encourage my colleagues on the other side. I want to encourage my good friend who just spoke (John Jinapor). In my hometown, we will say, ‘Papa no.’ ‘Papa no.’ I want to encourage ‘Papa no’ to take some time and follow the structure of this conversation and support,” the Ofoase Ayirebi MP told the House, a comment which sparked drama among members.

“Mr. Speaker, in line with order 47, of the standing orders of this house, that says that the proceedings of parliament shall ordinarily be conducted in the English language but a member, may exercise the option to address the house in either Akan, Nzema, Ga, Ewe, Hausa Dagbani or any other language provided provision exists in the house for its interpretation. Mid-way into my submissions, I said I wanted to encourage my colleague whom we will refer to in my language as Papa no who just spoke.”

The comments attracted reactions from the minority members who expressed gross displeasure.

Drama in Parliament as Oppong Nkrumah calls John Jinapor ‘Papa No’

The Minority in Parliament on Friday expressed its displeasure after Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah addressed former Deputy Energy Minister John Jinapor as “Papa no.”

The tag ‘Papa no’ has become popular on social media after actress Tracey Boakye and musician Mzbel’s mystery man affair controversy.

The phrase brought the drama in parliament late Friday night as the house approved the Agyapa Royalties Limited agreement.

“Mr Speaker, I want to encourage my colleagues on the other side. I want to encourage my good friend who just spoke (John Jinapor). In my hometown, we will say, ‘Papa no.’ ‘Papa no.’ I want to encourage ‘Papa no’ to take some time and follow the structure of this conversation and support,” the Ofoase Ayirebi MP told the House.

Reacting to the ‘Papa No’ phrase, minority leader Haruna Iddrisu said his side of the house will seize recognising Kojo Oppong as minister if he does not withdraw the comment and referred to him as ‘Maame no’.

“You come to parliament to employ those words used on social media, we take strong objection to it. If you don’t withdraw, we won’t recognise you today as a minister. We will not. Do what you will do,” Haruna Iddrisu said.

“From today, we won’t recognise you as minister of this republic. And we will not accord you any respect as a minister. Let’s throw it to the dogs. What do you take us for? So, ‘Papa no’ accepted. But from today, we will not.

“We will give you a name. We will give you a name. And we are serving notice, he was elected just like you. And his constituents respect him. Because you people use ‘Papa no’ on social media. We know what it means. We will match you. You have lost my respect as Minority leader from today. We will match with you. We too, we will call you ‘Maame no,” Mr. Iddrisu added.

The phrase managed to throw parliament into chaos as minority MPs banged the table whilst Majority MPs shouted ‘Papa no’ in the background as the debate continued.

First deputy Speaker of Parliament Joe Osei Owusu requested the house to look beyond the drama.

“The honourable minority leader’s anger, I pretended to overlook it because I think it’s in the spur of the moment. And knowing this house, tomorrow, we will get over it. But some insist on making an issue over it.

“I don’t think we will gain anything as a house by pretending this is new. And the threats don’t come to anything. So, the house will proceed,” he said.

The debate on the deal continued as the Minority in Parliament walked out in protest of the deal. But the majority went ahead to approve it.

Toshiba is officially out of the laptop business

Toshiba quietly exited the laptop business once and for all last week, ending a 35-year run by transferring its remaining minority stake in its PC business to Sharp. Two years ago, Toshiba sold an 80.1 percent stake of its PC business to Sharp for $36 million, and Sharp renamed the division Dynabook. Sharp exercised its right to buy the remaining 19.1 per cent of shares back in June, and Toshiba released a statement August 4th that the deal was completed

“As a result of this transfer, Dynabook has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sharp,” Toshiba said in a statement.

The company made the first PC laptop in 1985: The T1100 boasted internal rechargeable batteries, a 3.5-inch floppy drive, and 256K of memory. ComputerWorld’s 20-year retrospective of the T1100 notes that Toshiba executives were unsure about the portable computer, but eventually came around, and began selling the T1100 for around $2,000.

During the 1990s and early 2000s, Toshiba was among the top PC manufacturers, but as more players crowded into the market and with fewer unique features to offer, Toshiba’s laptops waned in popularity. By the time it sold its stake to Sharp, Toshiba’s share of the PC market had dwindled from its 2011 peak of 17.7 million PCs sold to about 1.4 million in 2017, according to Reuters.

Tracey Boakye blocked my chances with Julius Debrah – Gloria Kani

The failed actress now turned Evangelist Gloria Kani has indicated that things were going on smoothly between her and former Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah until Tracey Boakye blocked her chances.

According to her, she was getting along pretty well with the man but because of something Tracey told Julius, he never heard from him again.

” Tracey called me to tell me that Vivian Jill ended my chances with Julius Debrah. She [Tracey] is evil she blocked my chances with Julius and later came to tell me that it’s Vivian Jill.”

The actress made this known in a Livestream on Instagram to pour out her frustration since she was friends with Tracey Boakye.

Gloria Kani said although she was the one who made them get access to John Dramani Mahama, it got to a time that Mahama stopped talking to her and she could only talk to him through Tracey Boakye’s phone because she told the man not to call her directly.

The Evangelist in a Livestream session made several startling revelations about how Tracey Boakye orders John Dramani Mahama around just because the man doesn’t want the world to know that he’s having an affair with her.

She put to rest the perception that Tracey’s baby is for either John Mahama and Julius Debrah because the actress is promiscuous.

I’ll be disappointed in God If I meet a politician in heaven – Oboy Siki

Kumawood actor, Oboy Siki says he will be disappointed in God if he gets to heaven and meets any Politician there.

According to him, politicians are the most wicked people we have on earth who will do anything to suit their interests and not that of the masses.

Oboy Siki said although the bible frowns on stealing, these politicians are really good at it and will always siphon cash to better their lives.

Apart from stealing, he noted that politicians are also killers and will always give the go-ahead for people to be killed only if it will suit their interests.

Oboy Siki recalled that there was a regime in Ghana where people were killed and the human skull was always found on the street so for him, if God accepts a Politician into his abode, he will be very disappointed in him.

“If I see a politician in heaven, I will be disappointed in God. In politics, the young insults the old, and the old insults their counterparts. They also steal money that the bible is against. They kill people. We got to a point where were saw human head on the street of Ghana. When a Politician goes to the juju man and he asks for human blood, there is no way he/ she will say no, they will give the go-ahead. So If I meet even one politician in heaven, I will be disappointed.”

He cautioned Tracey Boakye and the others to desist from bringing Politicians in their issues and be careful with their lives because Politicians are wicked people and will stop at nothing to bring their lives to a halt.

Opoku Prempeh ‘not sure’ having fully recovered from Covid-19

Minister of Education and Member of Parliament for Manhyia South Constituency Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh says he is not so sure whether he has fully recovered from the coronavirus infection he contracted or not.

He, however, believes he has recovered enough to resume work.

Dr Opoku Prempeh was one of the high profile ministers to have contracted the disease.

 

He was admitted at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC), where his case was managed.

Sharing his experience on TV3‘s Covid-19 360 with Berla Mundi on Thursday, August 13, Dr Opoku Prempeh described his situation as “horrible”.

“It was an experience I have said repeatedly that I don’t even wish for my enemy.”

He said it was after he experienced the disease that he came to the reality that, indeed, coronavirus “is here with us”.

For him, Ghanaians must take all the safety protocols seriously as “it is not a situation I would want anybody to get into”.

He recounts that despite feeling a little bit of malaise about 10 days before he was hospitalised, he got tested for the virus upon advice from close associates but the result came out negative.

But he said after returning from his acclamation as the Manhyia South Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he decided to voluntarily take some tests at the UGMC, having gone there to visit a relative admitted for Covid-19.

It was on his way back that the doctors told him that one of the tests taken, a CT scan, was “bad enough” for him to stay home.

He said the doctor told him that “even though you don’t have so-called symptoms of COVID, your CT test is bad enough that we will need to admit you”.

“And your CT looked like COVID even though your test is negative.”

He said he was hesitant initially but he would have died if he had not gone.

 

“I was breathing like crazy. So, we escaped death in seconds. It would have been fatal.”

He said he was there for two weeks, during which same period he heard about the death of the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie.

Dr Opoku Prempeh confessed that he had the belief that he would survive after that close shave with death.
