My women ministers have more substance than Akufo-Addo’s ‘substandards’- Mahama

Former President John Mahama has extoled the competence and delivery of former women appointees of his erstwhile government comparing them to the ‘super-incompetent’ women NPP and Akufo-Addo has appointed.

MyNewsGH.com covered Mr Mahama on the trail during his tour of Accra where he had droves of people and chiefs welcome him to their areas. He called out the current Fisheries Minister for incompetence as he revealed fisher folks in the Central Region were begging him to bring back Madam Sherry Ayittey because since she left the ministry, Pre-Mix Fuel has been a headache for them.

“When were in government the last time we promised at least 30% women representation in government, we achieved it we did 33% and some of our hardest working ministers were women. Remember Sherry Ayittey at Fisheries Ministry, very brilliant minister. After she left she left the fishermen are all crying.” Mr Mahama said.

John Mahama compared the performance of his women appointees to the performance of the current Akufo-Addo women team one by one- calling out Akufo-Addo’s replacement for Marrietta Brew Appiah-Opong, Nana Oye Lithur and Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang.

“We had Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang at Education, one of the best Education Ministers we have ever had. We had Nana Oye Lithur at Gender, one of one of the best Gender Ministers Ghana has ever had.  We had Marietta Brew Appiah – Opong, Attorney General, fantastic Attorney General everybody will say.”

Mr. Mahama promised to increase the number of women if he gets the chance again, saying women must do well when we are all doing well.

“So the women are doing as well as we are doing…so when we win we are going to increase the number of women because we must go along with our women. Any society that has its women lagging behind will not make some progress. There is a place for women alongside with us in the new NDC government.” He continued.

“The last time I went to  Central Region one of the fishing communities…oh President Mahama where is Aunty Sherry? We miss her, we don’t get premix.” Mahama revealed. This comes after it was alleged that the Fisheries Minister had awarded a Premix fuel supply monopoly contract to her brother, one Botwe, who was finding it difficult to meet supply.

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...
