Professor Ransford Gyampo who is a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana has wondered why every ruling party in government seems to defend and support every policy by the Electoral Commission more than the electoral body itself. He remarked “The problem I have with the electoral commission is that it has not been able to ring-fence itself to win itself from the praise singing and support from ruling parties. Why is it that every time the ruling party talks more or seem to understand the electoral process more than the electoral commission itself.” Speaking on Cape Coast-based Kastle FM with Oman Nana monitored by MyNewsGh.com , Professor Gyampo questioned why over the years the Electoral Commission seems not to call the ruling party to order whenever they seem to be doing what they’ve not been mandated to do. He added: “The activities of the electoral commission are well understood and better defended by the ruling party than the electoral commission itself. That sh

Member of Parliament(MP) for the Effiduase-Asokore Constituency, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie has said that he is unperturbed by the attitude of the District Chief Executive(DCE) for Sekyere East, Mary Boatemaa Marfo who was recently caught on tape inciting a “skirt and blouse” vote against him in the upcoming elections. He says though it was unfortunate for the DCE to have done that, he would hold no grudges against her but would rather focus on campaigning and selling his message to the electorate who are clothed with the power to unseat him or give him another four years mandate. In a leaked audio, the DCE was heard in a conversation with a party member threatening to frustrate voters on Election Day which will in turn reduce the votes of the NPP and the MP, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie; which subsequently saw the president revoking her appointment. But days after her dismissal, President Akufo-Addo rescinded his decision to sack Mary Boatemaa Marfo and immediately reinstated her. The action

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says although it will be interesting to have a Presidential Debate, it’s not necessary at this point in time. The Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called for a debate with President Akufo-Addo on comparison of their track records as presidents. He argues that the NDC has a more superior record of providing an equitable distribution of development projects across the country than the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Addressing the chiefs and people of Kwamekrom in the Biakoye constituency recently, Mr Mahama said president Akufo- Addo is at liberty to select the moderators and the institution that he wants to organize the debate, and he will show up to debate the president on any day, at any time and anywhere. But reacting to the call for debate the Vice President on Accra-based Asempa Fm monitored by MyNewsGh.com said it will be interesting to debate the former President ahead of the 2020 election. However,

Musician and Social activist, Kwame A Plus has disclosed that after Socrate Sarfo wept on live radio that he cannot move from station to station to speak on behalf of the government and beg from friends to feed himself and family, the government arranged to give him GHC30,000. However, the money has since gone missing because the individual who was supposed to have delivered the cash is currently nowhere to be found. Movie producer, Socrates Sarfo in September said that after defending Akufo-Addo for almost four years, he still begs friends for money to buy food. According to him, he was getting frustrated defending Akufo-Addo and his government on an empty stomach whiles people who are not doing anything are given huge sums of money. Socrate Sarfo who was speaking on Accra-based Okay FM monitored by  MyNewsGh.com said, “If somebody is listening, they should tell the President that some of us are getting tired.

TSR Shady Species: You know what it is, 2020 just gon’ keep 2020ing. At a zoo in the UK, a group of parrots have been removed after repeating obscene language at visitors. Lincolnshire Wildlife Park received the birds back in August and quarantined them together in the same room, according to Fox News . It sounds like the park’s staff wasn’t prepared for the parrots bringing out the worst in each other. “But, just by coincidence, we took in five in the same week and because they were all quarantined together it meant that one room was just full of swearing birds,” chief executive officer Steve Nichols told the Lincolnshire Live, noting the park employees “always find it very comical when they do swear at you. The more they swear the more you usually laugh which then triggers them to swear again.” After the brief quarantine, the birds were put out for view of guests, assuming the cussing would stop. But it didn’t take long before the birds were yakking it up saying all  kinds of cra

Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has assured of government intervention designed to shore up private schools largely hit by the pandemic. According to him, the Finance Minister has been directed to draw up a programme aimed at mitigating their plight. “I think that there is going to be a discussion, to see how to cushion our private schools.” “The President has already given a directive to the minster to take a look at how we can cushion our private schools and I think some funding is being made available in that direction,” he said at a meeting with public and private school teachers in the Ablekuma Central constituency as part of his tour of the Greater Accra Region.

Afrobeat artiste and a former signee of Stonebwoy’s Burnington Music Group(BMG) has taken to social media to throw fresh shots at the Dancehall artiste and his team. Kelvynboy months ago got his contract with BMG terminated citing reasons of been disrespectful to his boss Stonebwoy and other team members. Things haven’t been good between both parties after they broke up leading to the two parties throwing shades at each other at any given chance. For sometime now, they have stopped shading each other and we thought they might have secretly handled and settled their differences behind closed doors but were making a mistake. In new post from Kelvynboy on social media suggests he has taken a swipe at his former boss again. In one tweet sighted on his handle, Kelvin asked, “Your chairman be smart ?” .

The Executive Director of Ghana Institute of Governance and Security (GIGS), Mr.  David Agbee has described President Akufo-Addo’s long silence on the rebellion by Western Togoland as legendary disappointing “I am totally disappointed about the fact that since this issue happened beginning from 2017, the president of the Republic of Ghana has found it not prudent enough to address the nation as far as this subject is concerned”. Mr. David Agbee said this in an interview with GBC’s radio show “Behind the News” on Monday monitored by MyNewsGH.com . “The silence of the president is so legendary that I cannot understand it”, he added.   It would be recalled that members of the Homeland Study Group, on the early hours of Friday, September 25, 2020 blocked main entry points linking the Volta Region to Accra and the Republic of Togo in an overnight operation, advocating the independence of the people of Western Togoland.

Whoever says he will introduce free primary health does not properly understand the health system in Ghana. Advisor on Health at the Presidency Dr. Antyhony Nsiah Asare has said. Dr. Nsiah Asare’s comments come following a campaign promise made by Former President and flagbearer of the NDC Mr. John Mahama that his next government is going to provide free primary healthcare saying “this will remove cost as a barrier to health care and ensure health for all.” According to Mr. Mahama, “despite the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), some gaps still remained in the delivery of universal healthcare in the country”, hence the new policy would come to address those gapes it is currently facing. He also noted that, “the free primary healthcare plan, which will be available to all patients in CHPS compounds, polyclinics, health centres and district hospitals, would ensure that the common illnesses afflicting Ghanaians were detected and treated early, before compli

The National Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku has acknowledged the retaining power is an uphill task for the party He added that it is the reason why the President and his Vice are campaigning as if they are in opposition fighting for power. He made this known when he was speaking at the official launch of the ‘Aspirants Unite for Victory’, a group made of parliamentary aspirants who lost in the parliamentary primaries of the NPP . The young politician said “for me, fighting for reelection is more difficult than fighting from the opposition and that is why we need everyone on the NPP ship to make sure that we cross the 2020 December 7. “Victory will not come on a silver platter and that is why the President and Vice President are campaigning as if we are in opposition.” To him, the party does not have to leave any stone unturned as it campaigns to retain power because every single vote counts if they will maintain power after the 2020 election.

Advisor on Health at the Presidency, Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare has described Ghana’s Health Insurance scheme as one of the best schemes in the world with few countries practicing the same. “The kind of health insurance Ghana has is a social health insurance scheme. The kind of health insurance system we have in the country is unique. Countries that have similar insurance schemes and have been successful in its implementation are Thailand, Korea among few” Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare told Hello FM in Kumasi in an interview monitored by MyNewsGH.com. According to him, even countries like the United Kingdom (UK) which is far advanced in health care does not have a good system as compared to that of what Ghana is practicing.

The police later uncovered an unregistered pump action gun in his house. Mr Musah was arrested and charged with possessing an unlicensed firearm and alleged stealing and put before the Nalerigu District Court.

Former General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Atik Mohammed has argued that challenges with the voter register which came to light during the recently held voter exhibition exercise are normal challenges that the EC was already taking steps to address. He therefore stated that that they did not warrant the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) putting his campaign on hold to address. He contends that the temporary suspension of the campaign was as a result of NDC’s campaign failures, not the failures of the EC. The NDC held a press conference and called out the EC for challenges with the voter register. It vowed to not accept the results of the upcoming elections if the EC failed to address the challenges. But Atik Mohammed has asserted that the press conference was unnecessary given that the issues were not new or strange such that the NDC needed to cut short the campaign of the flagbearer to address. “Given that all provisional registers produ

Ghanaian singer and songwriter Dada Kwaku Duah popularly known by his stage name as Dada KD has gone hard on DJs saying they have refused to play Highlife music on the radio to promote the genre but surprisingly get the same songs in their cars and enjoy them alone. According to him, most legendary Highlife musicians have gone into hiding because when they produce music which is not in line with that of the current trend, DJs will only play in their cars and not play on air. To him, there are a lot of Highlife musicians in Ghana although a bunch of them are gone, but those still living testify that, the music genre still stands tall. He claimed that, just as any other Highlife musician, he has not stopped doing music and moreover, all their music produced decades ago are still relevant. Dada KD who spoke on Kumasi based radio Akoma FM in an interview monitored by MyNewsGH.com however appreciated the fact that, the music industry today has been so good and easy to make it because

Executives of the party made several allegations against him for including his affluent lifestyle in the District when the grassroot which is the base of the party is suffering and his refusal to visit some communities for reasons best known to him.

Minority leader and Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale South Haruna Iddrisu has called out the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) Mrs Jean Mensa, stressing that she must respect political parties as institutions she has to work.
