There is no need for William Quaittoo to resign as an MP – Prof Emmanuel Asante 

Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante has said there is no need for Hon. William Quaitoo to leave his position as an Member of Parliament after doing a respectable thing by resigning as a Minister and want Ghanaians to  put a closure to the matter.

“If honorable people, think that by their omission and commission they have created a situation that will be difficult for them to continue their work, they have to do the praiseworthy thing to resign which he has done that as a minster. So I think we should put a closure to the mater”. Rev Asante selectively quoted.

The Chairman said this in a wake of an interview on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM on Friday.

On Tuesday evening, it was confirmed that, the Deputy Agric Minister Hon. William Quaitoo had  resigned from his post following pressure from some Ghanaians over comments he made, describing people from the Northern part of the country as “difficult people” while claiming farmers from the north were only interested in extorting money from government.

When asked if it will be better for Hon. William to also resign as an MP since some commentators have requested, Rev. Asante said it was not necessary and that Ghanaian should not go to that extent.

“I don’t think we can go that further, are we also requesting him to denounce his citizenship”? He retorted.

“I think we have gone that far, after we requested the president to dismiss him, even the minister did not wait for that to happen but resigned himself. I think we shouldn’t push the matter further”. He said.

Rev Asante during his 15 minutes interview urged Ghanaians not to engage themselves in tribal wrangling.

“Matters like these should not lead us to tribal wrangling; we have lived together as one nation. Even though we know we are from different ethnic group, we should try as much as possible to live and let other people live”. He stated.

He further noted in the interview that, Ghanaians should not allow such issues to bring conflict.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
