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.

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. He stated that musicians and industry players can reach greater heights as a unified body.

As colleagues and mates in the industry, we should have a united front in this fight. We can only win when we are together, divided we fail. #LetsWinTogether #GeorgeBritton.” His ap

Brouhaha over KOD, Jon Germain exiting EIB Report that TV and radio personalities like Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) and John Germain have left EIB Network, the owners of GHOne TV and Starr FM, is generating a lot of controversies. KOD and Jon worked with the EIB in the last five years and were presenters on Starr FM until they announced their exit. Their exit follows earlier claims that several others have left the media organisation over salary allegations. Announcing their exit on Saturday, KOD and Jon were thankful to have worked at EIB and said they’ve parted ways with the company. “After 5 straight years at EIB, we mutually parted company last Thursday. It’s been 5 awesome years with an amazing family.

I’m indebted to the Duffour family

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.

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.

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.
