  The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has denied ever being involved in illegal mining activities popularly known as ‘galamsey’ in the country. "My attention has been drawn to some news making rounds on social media linking me with some mining activities including ‘galamsey’ in the country. I categorically refute these allegations, which are baseless, malicious, and unmeritorious,” Mr. Boadu said in a statement.

"He stressed that he has no mining concession anywhere in the country o

Spiritualist Kwaku Bonsam has cautioned Ghanaians to be cautious of people advertising money-doubling schemes by so-called ritualists on television and social media. He explained that there is no such thing as money-doubling in the world adding these self-acclaimed spiritualists who are promising such to victims are fraudsters.

The person who says he will double money for you go and look at their home, some are using bicycles, even corolla and motors.” The traditional priest said that if these men could truly “double money” they would have been rich and could possibly double some money to help government embark on its various developmental projects.

Political activist Kwame Asare Obeng popularly known as A-Plus has described Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah as a very ungrateful politician. Speaking on Starr Chat on Wednesday, A-Plus told host Nana Aba Anamoah that there is no cordial relationship between him and the Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi. “Politicians do not respect and they’re very ungrateful. I do not mince words and if I see Oppong Nkrumah, I’ll tell him to his face that he’s ungrateful.” He added, “when he was campaigning to be MP, I went to Ofoase Ayirebi to campaign for him. When I got there, it was raining but I didn’t want the people to leave so I mounted the stage to campaign for him.” But the controversial musician said he was disappointed that despite his contribution to Oppong Nkrumah’s victory, the Information Minister described him as a disgruntled NPP member on Happy FM after he criticised the NPP and Akufo-Addo. A-Plus also dismissed suggestions that the Information Minister used

Suspended member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) now a social commentator Bernard Allotey Jacobs has advised Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen to withdraw from the NPP flagbearership race or forfeit to become speaker of Ghana’s parliament in 2024. According to Mr Jacobs, it will be very easy for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to lead the NPP to victory in 2024."The NPP should select Vice-President Bawumia as its flagbearer in 2024 for a one-touch victory.” “The only person who can worry Bawumia is Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen but I think Alan should adopt Joe Biden of America’s style. The leadership of the party must quickly set in to talk to him to withdraw from the race. So they appoint him speaker should they break the 8-year chain, or else what happened in 2008 that cost their victory is likely to happen again,” he told Don Kwabena Prah on Happy FM’s Epa Hoa Daben. Meanwhile, other fractions in the NPP are seriously lobbying for Alan Kyeremanten to lead the party in

The spread of highly contagious coronavirus variants is threatening to fuel a "potential fourth surge of cases" in the US, a top health official has warned. The head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said she was concerned by recent Covid-19 data. Dr Rochelle Walensky said about 70,000 new cases a day had been recorded last week - "a very high number". There were nearly 2,000 swaths a day in the same period, she added.Given this, Dr Walensky said she was "really worried" about reports of US states "rolling back the exact public health measures we have recommended to protect people from Covid-19". "We have the ability to stop a potential fourth surge of cases in this country. Please stay strong in your conviction," she said. Please hear me clearly: at this level of cases, with variants spreading, we stand to completely lose the hard-earned ground we have gained," Dr Walensky said. "These vari

According to him “Some of my loved ones said these politicians and  their supporters, hmmm; they are dangerous ohhh! they can do  something against you oo”.

Manchester City head into one of the biggest weeks in their recent history, knowing their reputation, their Champions League place and, possibly, the make-up of their squad are on the line. On Monday, their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) against their two-year ban from European club competition begins. On 14 February, Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB)  banned City  and fined the club 30m euros (£25m) after ruling it had committed “serious breaches” of Uefa’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations between 2012 and 2016. The CFCB also said City had failed to cooperate with the investigation. City immediately signalled their intention to appeal to Cas. They believe the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful of it, partly due to the amount of secretive information the club felt was leaked to the media. They are adamant that what they consider an independent judiciary will clear them. The appeal will be heard by three Cas lawyers, held in private

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

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
