  The Accra Circuit Court 4 has ordered the release of mobile phones belonging to Shatta Wale and his teammates, which are still in police possession.  Lawyer for both the dancehall artiste and his team members, Jerry Avenorgbo, told judge Emmanuel Essandor that the items were confiscated upon his clients’ arrest and have since not been released.

  The Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to take immediate steps to halt the wanton dissipation of the country’s resources by politicians and their cronies for personal gains. The president of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference, Most Rev. Philip Naameh, who made the call at this year’s plenary assembly of the association in Wa, said the practice has led to high perceived corruption and corruptible practices among the ruling class which is taking a toll on the national economy and worsening the poverty situation in the country. Though poverty stares us in the face, it appears lost to those with power. The expressed commitment of the president of the republic to protect the public purse, a promise that citizens welcomed, seems to be an illusion now. Are those managing the public purse not concerned about waste and misapplication of resources that belong to all Ghanaians? Can this be referred to as irresponsible use of power or the lac

It said the Speaker’s handling of the case, which is troubling, was a shift away from what his predecessors had done in similar cases in the past. But the Minority, in a statement on Thursday, disagreed with the Majority’s claims, insisting that the Speaker was only trying to ensure that the Police follows standard procedures in inviting the MP for questioning.

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.

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.
