We're satisfied with Mills' autopsy, stop act of 'drunkenness' - Family

Family of the late President John Atta Mills has asked politicians and the general public to respect the family and the late Professor and allow him to Rest In Peace. According to them, they are worried about the way some politicians are taking advantage of the death of their brother for their own parochial self- interest. Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Member of Parliament (MP) for Komenda/Edina/Eguaafo/Abirem, Hon. Samuel Atta Mills recalled that, he was with his brother on the day of his death as they were scheduled to travel on the same day. " . . an autopsy has been conducted, and I was present when it was done. The family is satisfied and we have not complained about the cause of his death," he said. A furious Samuel Atta Mills sounded a word of caution to all those trying to score cheap political points with his death to desist from such act of 'drunkenness'.

Sam George takes a swipe at Mensa Otabil

Head pastor of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr. Mensa Otabil has been asked to stop watching the national geography channel and rather concentrate on national issues. Pastor Otabil in 2018 said it was depressing to listen to Ghanaian media and that he would rather watch a channel that is less depressing.   “It is very depressing. It will contaminate your soul... I don’t watch Ghanaian TV much. I watch a little... one, two, three, and I say Oh nothing has changed, go back. I will watch animals. I’ll watch cheetah, I’ll watch lion, I’ll watch antelope anytime... I’ll watch giraffes anytime because at least they’ll tell me how to hunt, how to get to your goal, how to avoid being eaten. I’ll learn that from an antelope. At least I’d come back and say: nobody will eat me," he said.  Two years down and Sam George says it is time for Otabil to stop 'watching animals' and address the 'rot' in the country.  The Ningo Prampram MP who was interact

Joseph Yammin 'fights' Kennedy Agyapong over murder plot

Joseph Yammin, a top member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a stalwart in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), are set to engage in a legal battle in court soon. The NDC kingpin insists that Mr. Agyapong, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central Constituency in the Central Region, has defamed him in public by labelling him (Yammin) as a ‘killer’. Yammin, a former Deputy Sports Minister, has, therefore, vowed to drag Mr. Agyapong to court, so that he could file charges against him in order to clear his name and also make ‘big’ money out of the case. Kennedy’s Allegations Kennedy Agyapong, in a purported audio recording, accused Yammin of plotting to kill some expatriates in Kumasi ahead of the 2020 polls to make the country seem unstable to the international community. In the audio, which was played on “Nhyira FM” in Kumasi on Monday morning, a voice purported to be that of Mr. Agyapong was also heard accusing Yammin of planning to torch some mar

Stop attempts to gag your employees – Minority to GRIDCo

Stop attempts to gag your employees – Minority to GRIDCo The Minority in Parliament has condemned an alleged move by GRIDCo to get its employees to sign a fresh Oath of Secrecy which will bar them from speaking on issues affecting the company. “This attempt is dangerous, it is inimical to the growth of the company and affront to the Right to Information Act,” the Minority said in a statement signed by Adam Mutawakilu, MP for Damongo and Ranking Member of the Mines and Energy Committee. The statement said as part of conditions of service of employees of GRIDCo, no employee is expected to speak to or release any such sensitive or classified information from the company to the general public and this is strictly applied and adhered to by employees “but the recent attempt to introduce the signing of an oath of secrecy is alien to the conditions of service and the conventions as practised in the company over the years.” The Minority noted that it suspects that as election 2020 dra

Adwoa Safo trades blows with Mike Oquaye Jnr for Dome Kwabenya NPP slot There appears to be a bloody fight between incumbent Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa-Safo and her contender for the NPP parliamentary ticket, Mike Oquaye Jnr. Adwoa Safo in a media report had purportedly issued a public plea to the  New Patriotic Party  (NPP) national executive to step into an ongoing fracas that has engulfed the Constituency ahead of the parliamentary primary. “The national party, the MP warned, need to call for an order before the chaos that has erupted in the constituency leads to fatalities”, media reports had quoted. Sarah Adwoa Safo, who is facing stiff competition from Ghana’s High Commissioner to India is lamenting that her life is in danger. She accordingly stated that an attempt on her person last week backfired when assailants who thought she was in the Constituency Chairman’s residence, launched an assault on the house.

The former manager of Keche in a post sighted by Zionfelix.net on Facebook said it would be imperative for them to fight against the system that hinders the growth of musicians in the country rather than fighting among themselves.

Thomas Partey to take coronavirus test on Wednesday Dutch second-tier side FC Dordrecht terminated the loan deal of Manchester City-owned Aminu Mohammed after just TWO months because they were not convinced about his artistry, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report. The club took the decision in November 2019 to prematurely end his stay because the 18-year-old did not meet their expectations after all the hype surrounding the former WAFA SC talisman. Mohammed was sent out to the Eerste Divisie side at the end of August to gain first team experience but had to wait for a month to join them due to visa problems. He could not fit in at the club and made the match day squad just once in the home game against Helmond Sport. FC Dordrecht head coach Claudio Braga confirmed Aminu's departure after 1-1 draw with TOP Oss. ''In the end, Aminu turned out not to be the sort of player we were looking for," he said. "Then it was not good for us to continue together.&qu

One district, One factory is a scam - Chief Biney

One district, One factory is a scam - Chief Biney The Deputy National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney has asserted that the NPP ‘s One District, One Factory (1D1F) flagship program is a deception to the country. In an exclusive interview with Kwame Afrifa Mensah on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ show aired on Happy 98.9 FM, he divulged that the incumbent government is only presenting existing factories as projects under the 1D1F. “One district one factory is a scam. They only visit existing factories and claim they have built factories”, he said. He believed that the number of factories built as propounded by the Government was false. In his submission, he admitted that his district, Ekumfi had benefited from the One District, One Factory project. However, he declared that just one project could not account for the factories in every district in the country. However, a story published by Graphic Online on May 7th 2019 stated otherwise.
