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 interacting with Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Neat FM's ‘Me Man Nti’ programme said "since he says he’s not following the rot in the system and he only watches national geography, I would have been grateful if Pastor Otabil was still preaching about the rot in the system.”

Government can’t afford to reduce taxes on fuel; we’ll lose GH¢4bn revenue –Prez Akufo-Addo.

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has dismissed calls on the government to reduce taxes on petroleum products. He said taking such an action will significantly affect the government’s revenues. Addressing the 2022 May Day parade at the Independence Square in Accra, he said the government risks losing about GH¢4 billion if it makes any such move. He added that it is even more untenable because the government is rather looking for more avenues to raise money. “Removing taxes on petroleum products will reduce government revenues by some GH¢4 billion. At this time, when we are determined to expand government revenues in order to increase our capacity to finance our own development, can we afford to reduce tax revenues by GH¢4 billion?” he quizzed. Fuel prices in Ghana have risen sharply in Ghana in the last six months, although they have stayed the same for almost a month. Amidst the numerous complaints from consumers that the situation is causing a strain on their finances as th...
