Politicians, Religious Leaders and Chiefs listed among top 5 People destroying Ghana’s development

Ghana officially the Republic of Ghana, is a country located along the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean, in the subregion of West Africa. Spanning a land mass of 238,535 km2 (92,099 sq mi), Ghana is bordered by the Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, Togo in the east, and the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean in the south. Ghana means “Warrior King” in the Soninke language.

Ghana’s population in 2010 was 24,200,000 and the 2020 population census is estimated at 31,072,940.

Ghana is a country blessed with natural and human resources. A country that is suppose to be developed is still crawling to stand the test of time.

One important ingredient that spice a country is Peace and Ghana if not the best in Africa, is among the first three(3).

But unfortunately Ghana is at war with development all because of the following people.

1.THE POLITICIAN

Unfortunately the politics that built countries we are copying from has been given a different meaning by our politicians.

The politician retards development in his /her area and few months to elections start a project and finish all just to win power again.

The politician uses the power given him/her to enslave the electorate. Imagine if our politicians could fulfill 60% of their campaign promises rather than travelling out the country while poverty slaps the electorate every second.

2.THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS.

Today in Ghana we have different types of churches and leaders that are supposed to build a good morals of development in us.

But “AMA GHANA” is weeping because they have rather destroyed the country.

Pastors don’t practice what they preach but rather dupe the innocent people of their little income in the name of blessings and miracles.

This is day light robbery using the Bible as the master chef but my country Ghana is silent.

During this covid-19 pandemic we all saw how the virus exposed majority of them.

3.THE COURT

Laws are meant to be interpreted by the judges or judiciary arm of government.

In Ghana my motherland justice is a word not a practice.

Today we hypocritically celebrate the death of others in the diaspora living our very own.

Our prisons are filled with innocent people all because they can’t afford a good lawyer or pay bribe to be rescued.

Defending yourself by mouth and paper evidence in my motherland is waste of time.

4.THE CHIEFS

As the custodians of the land, chiefs play a very important role in nation development but to what extent do they hold leaders accountable?

Politicians come to make fake promises each election year yet our Chiefs sit aloof without questioning their previous promises.

Some chiefs to some extent prevents developmental projects from coming into their Communities because they want to sell the land not give it out for free.

6.THE GHANAIANS

We ourselves in general are the major cause of why this country is in shambles.

We have refuse to do the needful but always claim we know all.

We pay attention to where “FREE THINGS” come from and ones you endorse poverty as your friend you become a slave to it.

Imagine all fellow Ghanaians can keep the environment clean, respect laws of the land, hold people in authority accountable etc and not give off their rights to be enslaved by money.

Ghana belongs to all of us, this pandemic have really shown us how far we have been asleep and daydreaming but it’s unfortunate even in the mist of the pandemic our conscience and eyes are tired to greed and power rather than life’s.

I encourage you to start giving Ghana a face lights up in your local area and together we can move this country forward.

JUST IN: Time and date of Akuffo Addo’s alleged secret call to Chief Justice over EC,NDC Court Case exposed

Investigative Journalist and host of With All Due Respect, Mr. Kevin Taylor has dropped yet another bombshell saying President Akufo-Addo actually called the Chief Justice of Ghana, Justice Anim Yeboah for 37 munites prior to the Supreme Court case hearing between the NDC and the Electoral Commission.

Mr. Taylor said Justice Anim Yeboah was on a call with the President for which he was instructed by the President that he must outrightly rule the case in favor of the Electoral Commission as that might go a long way to give credence to NDC’s claim that he [Justice Anim] was appointed to the office of the Chief Justice solely to do the bidding of the President.

Given specifics, Mr. Taylor said that the call between the President and the Chief Justice started at 9:23pm. According to him, if the President will be arresting journalists because they are getting leaked information from the Jubilee House, then the President to be ready to know that he [Kevin Taylor] knows more that is happening at the Jubilee House behind the scene than he thinks.

“I’m given time because I listen to that call. If they say metal cuts metal, you must understand that if you think you have a defense, another before also has more defense”

Mr. Taylor said, there is no way the NDC will win the Supreme Court case against the EC unless Jesus Christ come to down to “date a lady at Anloga”

He said the case the is clear for the Supreme Court to decide even based on judicial precedence but because of the plan by the President, the Supreme Court decided to give the EC four days to come back to the Court to lie to them so they can accept the lies of the EC.

NPP focuses on message but NDC only interested in insulting their own – Koku Anyidoho

A former Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has registered his displeasure over his party’s strategy ahead of the 2020 general elections.

According to him, the party is only interested in tarnishing the reputation of its party members who hold contrary views rather than selling the ideals of the party.

Speaking at the commemoration of the June 4 uprising on Thursday, Koku Anyidoho revealed how bigwigs within the party fund such nefarious acts.

“Me, I’m insulted. People are paid: ‘Go and insult him, call him names.’ On the other side, they have the airtime; they propagate what they want to propagate. We have airtime and it is to cast aspersions at our own, call them names: traitors, whatever,” a ‘livid’ Koku Anyidoho said.

He, therefore, admonished the party to use the 41st Anniversary of the June 4 uprising to mark a new beginning as far as the direction of the party is concerned and called on the current leadership of the party to take charge of whatever transpires in the party since they are responsible for either the woes or gains.

The founder and Chief Executive Officer of Atta Mills Institute noted that “Well, the flame has been lit. Today, we are celebrating the anniversary. It’s up to the leadership. There’s the desire, there’s the passion but if you don’t lead and lead well, don’t blame anybody for your woes. Every team coach decides the players who will play on the team. If you are not even in the reserve, you dare not wear a jersey and go on the pitch – it’s against the rules.”

“Coaches should choose their teams and be responsible for the results of the games that they encounter,” he stressed.

The revenue loss followed the closure of the country’s borders to human traffic, a measure taken by the government to prevent the importation of the virus.

Mrs Barbara Oteng Gyasi, the Minister of Tourism, Creative Arts and Culture, made this known at a media briefing to provide details of the easing of restrictions on the tourism sector, in Accra.

She put the total revenue from tourist arrivals, in the year 2019, at US$3.312 billion. In all, 1.13 million foreign tourists visited the country.

A survey conducted by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) showed that each tourist spent not less than US$2,931 on accommodation, car rental services, food and attendance of entertainment events or concerts during the ‘Year of Return’.

She announced the allocation of US$4 million dollars towards the development of tourism sites and information, this year, alongside US$5 million for tourism enterprise support.

Mrs Oteng Gyasi said, operators in the tourism and hospitality industry, could apply for support from the GHS600 million COVID-19 Alleviation Programme, meant for micro, small and medium scale enterprises, and is disbursed by the National Business for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI).

Mahama’s “so-called unprecedented infrastructure” was “Green Book fantasy” – Akufo-Addo

Mahama’s “so-called unprecedented infrastructure” was “Green Book fantasy” – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Akufo-Addo has described claims by the Mahama administration that it undertook unprecedented infrastructural development, including roads, as a mere fantasy that was contained in the Green Book of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

 

“We made a pledge to the Ghanaian people to expand and improve the road network while closing the missing links in the network. We had to make this pledge because we know that the so-called unprecedented infrastructure development of the Mahama administration was fantasy; existing in the Green Book and not on the ground,” President Akufo-Addo said when he inaugurated the $57-million Tema Motorway Interchange project that is being financed by the government of Japan through the Japanese International Cooperation Agreement (JICA).

“We know that the provision of quality road infrastructure is an important tool for the socio-economic development of our country and government will ensure the even spread of such projects across the country”, the President said, adding: “That is why we are determined to complete major road projects like the Pokuase Interchange, the Eastern Corridor Roads, the Bolgatanga-Pulimakum road, the Tamale Interchange, the Tema-Bomaa road, Obuasi town roads, the Atebubu-Kwame Danso road, the Twifo Praso-Assin Fosu road, LEKMA road, Suhum-Asamankese road …”

“The government has secured funding for them and virtually all of them are going to be completed before the end of this year”, he promised.

The President also said the completion of the Tema Motorway Interchange will bring immense economic benefits to Ghana.

“The economic benefits of this and other trunk roads being undertaken by the Ghana Highways Authority, the department of urban roads and the department of feeder roads will be immersed”.

“Government is committed to the successful completion of all projects and I urge the Ministry of Roads and Highways to see to their expeditious completion”.

“As we talk about the upgraded conditions of our highways, we, as Ghanaians, need to be mindful of our responsibilities in the use of our roads”, President Akufo-Addo said.

He noted that: “Although the necessary safeguards have been put in place, the severity and frequency of accidents on our highways due to over-speeding and indiscipline are a great reproach to all of us”.

“Motorists must be extra careful and disciplined on the highways and resist the temptation of over speeding. Better roads should be a catalyst for national development and not instruments of death and pain”.

“Let us use this superior road network responsibly and productively”, President Akufo-Addo added.

Roads Minister

The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Attah, in his statement, charged the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) to ensure that all the ancillary works required under the first phase of the project are undertaken for the successful take-off of the second phase.

“I urge Heads of MMDA’S within the project catchment area to ensure that indiscriminate erection of bill boards, pasting of posters on footbridges, kerbs etc., are avoided. Planting of trees should be embarked upon to protect the environment from exhaust pollution”, the Minister said.

Project Overview

The Tema Motorway Roundabout was a 5-leg roundabout where traffic from Accra and Tema Pot, Akosombo, Aflao and Tema Community 9 converge, causing heavy traffic congestion during the rush hours. The congestion at the roundabout became an impediment to smooth and sate movement of people and goods which adversely affected productivity and economic activities, especially in the environs of the Industrial City of Tema.

The increase in the volume of cargo at the port after the completion of the expansion works also contributed to the significant increase of truck traffic at the roundabout.

In compliance with the National Transport Policy of expanding and upgrading the international corridors to achieve integrated, efficient, and sustainable transport system and help achieve the objective of the transport hub of the West African sub region, the Government of Ghana (GOG) in 2013 made a request to the Government of Japan (GOJ) for a Grant Aid Assistance to implement “The Preparatory Survey for the Project for the Improvement of the Tema Motorway Roundabout”.

In March 2017, the Exchange of notes/ Grant agreement for the survey and design under the Project name “The Project for Improvement of Ghanaian International Corridors (Grade Separation of Tema Intersection in Tema) was signed.

It is expected that the opening of the roads to motorists will greatly improve the capacity of the Tema intersection as well as enhance safety and efficiency of the transport and freight. It will also provide uninterrupted traffic flow to facilitate trade and transit in the West African Sub-Region, contribute to the economic development of Tema and its environs, and minimize the negative effect on the environment from vehicle emissions.

Project Cost and Executing Companies Messrs CTI Engineering International Co. Ltd was the supervising Consultant with the works executed by Messrs Shimizu-Dai Nippon JV. The project duration was 28 calendar months, that is, from 7th February 2018 to 6th June 2020. The project cost was about 57 million United States dollars.

EC declines to appear before Parliament on June 9

The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has shot down an invitation by the Parliament of Ghana to appear before the house on June 9 to brief the legislature on its plans for the upcoming December polls.

The minority in parliament has since April 30 been mounting pressure to have the EC summoned before the house but that has not happened yet though majority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah has indicated there are still ongoing engagement.

 

However, he said an earlier planned June 9 date has failed because the EC will be out in some districts for other assignments which will end on June 14, thus a new date has being fixed on June 16 for them to appear before the house.

“The EC has assured they will be here on the 16th, I was trying to pull them to be here on the 9th of June, that is this Tuesday. That had been my own stand… they have indicated to me they have to fan out to various places in the districts to pursue a cause and that they will be coming back the Sunday leading to the 16”, he said.

He added that while the engagements were ongoing “a few issues came up”, some of which he mentioned the order by the Supreme Court for the EC to file the legal basis for which they want to exclude the old voters ID cards in the compilation of the new voters register.

 

The EC is expected to update the house on how it is going about the electoral processes in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

What would sport be like without black people for a day? – Kevin-Prince Boateng asks

What would sport be like without black people for a day? – Kevin-Prince Boateng asks

Kevin-Prince Boateng has spoken out following the death of George Floyd at the hands of four police officers in the United States and thinks that black professionals should go a day without work to show their worth.

Floyd’s killing sparked protests and riots all over the world and the former Barcelona forward stands in support of those sending a message.

“Do one thing,” Boateng told Sky Sports, “take every black person out of sports and every black actor out of the movies and how is it going to be? Boring.”I want to get a day that no black player goes to work, maybe on George Floyd’s birthday. Not because we don’t want to work or disrespect our club but to honour our black community.”

The idea was just one that Boateng, who is currently on loan at Besiktas from Fiorentina, had as he continued to call on people to do something to combat racism.”Of course,” he responded when asked if others could get involved with such a movement.”Imagine what a message it would be if white people stick with us, if they said,

‘I won’t go to practice’ or ‘I won’t go to work’ or ‘I won’t play’.”Imagine it’s on a Saturday, the day of a game, that would be a big message.”I’m trying to think of answers – putting cameras and speakers inside the stadium so you can point out who is that person. I’m trying to do something because nothing is happening.” There’s always just something tragic happening – and then it’s too late.”

Boateng previously walked off the pitch during a friendly match with AC Milan as he was the victim of racist abuse from the stands but he knows that others are fearful of doing the same thing.

“It was a powerful image and still is now,” he said.”But I think even now people are scared they are going to get sanctioned.”There’s always a little chain – we have to start to believe in what we are doing.”People say it was a friendly game, but I didn’t care in that moment because it was something bigger inside of me. It wasn’t about the game. Even if it was a Champions League game I would have walked off.”It’s not a discussion, it’s just if we’re strong enough, if we really want to change something, we have to take big measures.

When asked if society as a whole was doing enough, Boateng recognised that although some recent efforts were appreciated, more needs to be done.”Of course not,” he said.

“We have to talk; we have to be louder. We have to use social media, today it is the biggest platform.”People might say I only have 100 followers, well maybe you can influence 50 of them. Even showing you as a white person are with us, that gives us so much power. We believe you are with us so we can go forward with a bigger chest.”No one is doing enough. #BlackOutTuesday is not enough, it’s too easy. Because people are scared to stand for something, to say something because of sponsors or large followings. A black picture is way too easy.”It’s a beautiful message but I’m mad because people have it so easy.”If you ever point a finger at them, they’ll say ‘but I posted that picture’. The picture [alone] does not mean anything to me.”
