The money Jubilee House gave me was ‘transport’, not ‘bribe’ – NUGS President

President of the National Union Of Ghana Students (NUGS) Isaac Jay Hyde has admitted on live TV that the Jubilee House gave him some money when he led a delegation there but the money was “transport money” not bribe, MyNewsGh.com reports.

The NUGS President led leaders of student unions across the country to honour an invitation by the President to the Jubilee House on Friday, 24th April, 2020 where NUGS conferred “Global Icon” status on president Akufo-Addo for doing well in Covid-19 fight.

Mr.Isaac who appeared on Pan African TV monitored by MyNewsGh.com following backlash from some allied student groups admitted he took an amount of money from the presidency, but quickly clarified that “it was meant for transport”.

According to him, however, the money did not influence the decision to praise Akufo-Addo as a global icon in the fight against Covid-19.
 
He expressed regret that some student groups are accusing him of “accepting bribe” when it was “only transportation”.

The National Union of Ghana Students last week lauded President Nana Akufo-Addo for his leadership during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking on behalf of the union, its President, Isaac J. Hyde said NUGS having monitored Akufo-Addo from afar, it wishes to commend him and are proud to be associated with him.

“The student movement has closely monitored and learnt a lot from your passion and temerity to able to rid the nation and Africa of this Coronavirus. The student union wishes to commend your efforts; your bold, decisive and extraordinary leadership in these difficult times. We are even more proud to associate with your leadership, because, in 3 years, you have become an African and global icon.” the NUGS President said.

After the meeting, some students who heard of the money from the presidency to the NUGS leader believe that was what influenced his decision to heap praises on Akufo-Addo. But the NUGS President says that cannot be true. It was “transport money”.

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.

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.
