The Member of Parliament(MP) for Bolgatanga Central in the Upper East Region, Isaac Adongo says the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) intends to scrap the worrying double-track system being run by the Free SHS policy because it’s getting young girls pregnant. According to him, the ‘Traffic Light’ system being run which allows students to stay home for some time doing nothing is worrying and needs to be scrapped as a matter of urgency. The Member of Parliament who is seeking another tenure in Parliament said “we will continue the Free SHS but would ensure that every child is able to go to school at once and come home for a few weeks and return and not to stay home for perpetuity which is leading to certain consequences we don’t want” Our children are getting pregnant, our children are becoming truants all as a result of the effect of this so-called traffic light free SHS, the double-track system, that must be eliminated to guarantee our children a better future,” he said while

Former President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama has told the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Samuel Abu Jinapor to rather go to his father’s hometown in Buipe and contest for the seat there since Gonjas inherit from the patrilineal line. According to him, Northerners by tradition do not inherit from their mother’s side but rather from their father’s side so it’s imperative that he goes to the father’s side to contest for the seat. Citing himself as an example, the former President said “When I went to Bole in 1995 to contest as a Parliamentary on the ticket of the NDC they told me Alhaji Gilbert Iddi was the one coming to contest and advised me to go to Damongo where my mother hails from. “I went to Damongo and met the NDC executives and they looked at me in an awkward manner and finally asked me if I don’t know my father’s home and I replied I know.” “So they told me Gonjas don’t inherit from their mothers house but their fathers house”. “I, therefore, went back to my father home of

Former President and leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has slammed Samuel Abu Jinapor for running away from a debate organized by the National Commission for Civic Education(NCCE) in the Damango Constituency. According to him, Abu Jinapor running away from the debate should tell the people of Damango that he has nothing to offer the people in terms of development and ideas to make lives better in the Constituency as compared to Hon Adam Mutawakilu Salifu. To Mahama, he’s not shocked that the NPP candidate run away from a debate because Abu Jinapor is learning from his “father” Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who has tried so hard to avoid from a debate on the economy. He used the opportunity to sing the praises of the Hon Adam Mutawakilu Salifu for his role in ensuring that Sawla- Damongo- Fufulso road was completed under his tenure as President. The NDC leader used the opportunity to call on the people of Damongo to vote massively for the NDC and al

Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has encouraged Security Personnel and all Special Voters to vote massively for him to restore discipline in the Security Services in the country. According to him, under the Akufo-Addo led administration, the Security Service has been politicized which does not speak well for the state institution which is supposed to be independent. For him, he will depoliticize the Security Services in order to allow them operate independently and believes that it will help restore discipline and transparency to raise morale in order to create opportunities for all and not just a few. “As your former Commander-in-Chief, I will continue to respect and cherish your patriotic contributions to our dear nation. I encourage you to hope and vote John Mahama,” he said in a video shared on his social media platforms. Touching on corruption, the former President said even though times are hard, this government has proven to be the most corrupt government in G

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says he will continue to criticize the former President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama although he is his very good friend. According to him, he has nothing personal against the former President but since they belong to different parts of the divide and they do not agree with each other on ideologies, he will continue to criticize him. Dr. Bawumia is of the believe that if he comes up with a policy which is not good, John Mahama will openly criticize him so he has to also criticize him when he comes up with policies that are not in the interest of the people. “I don’t have an issue with him but we are in a world of competitive politics and competitive ideas. There is nothing personal. If he brings a bad policy, I will call him out on it and if I bring a bad policy, I’m sure he will call me out on it. But that doesn’t mean there is animosity. We will criticize one other on political basis but when we meet, we will talk about it and share a good laug

Controversial Ghanaian Comedienne Afia Schwarzenegger has warned trouble causers of a dose of the brutalities that happened in Ayawaso West Wuogon during the recently held by-election. According to her, the country is looking for peace during and after the election and will not condone any form of barbarism and violence during the period. She indicated that when one falls victim and is subjected to beatings, they should not run to the media because their actions caused the beatings. Afia Schwarzenegger who issued these barrage of stern warnings in a video shared on social media said “On the 7th of December, all Ghanaians will be going to their various constituencies and polling stations to vote. If anyone try fooling at the polling station on that day, good luck on that one because the police will deal with you. Bryan Acheampong’s men will beat the hell out of you.

President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party have done very well within the first term in Government, and they have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they deserve another four more years to protect, preserve and continue the good works they have started. It would be unfair, suicidal and a travesty of justice if Ghanaians fail to vote for President Akufo-Addo and NPP Parliamentary Candidates in the 7th December 2020 general elections. A vote against Akufo-Addo and NPP Parliamentary Candidates will be an Ungrateful behaviour against the Free SHS Policy, Planting for Food and Jobs, NABCO, Free Water, Free Electricity, 307 Ambulances, stable supply of electricity(no dumsor), 1 Village 1 Dam, Creation of Six new Regions, Lasting Peace in Dagbon Kingdom etc. 1.

Dr. Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, a lecturer at the Political Science Department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST) has asserted that the University of Ghana (UG) Political Science Department survey on the December 7 general elections is not scientific.

A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Brogya Gyamfi says it will be sacrilegious for Ghanaians to vote for the Akufo-Addo led administration to bury former President Jerry John Rawlings. According to the former NDC Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser, from all indications, the former President will be buried after the December 7 election and should not be allowed to be buried with his principles of probity and accountability. However, if Ghanaians vote for the NPP led by the President he describes as Mother Serpent of Corruption, it will mean that the country will bury the principle of probity and accountability with the President to pave way for various corrupt practices. “Even though we have not yet heard from the family on the burial date for JJR, it is obvious the burial will happen after the elections.

Following his humiliating defeat at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Primaries in the Navrongo Central Constituency, Minister of Aviation Joseph Kofi Adda has literally abandoned the constituency. The hitherto visible lawmaker who was seen in almost every activity in the area, has now taken a back stage and was conspicuously missing in a health walk recently organized by the Parliamentary Candidate Madam Tangoba Abayage. Sources revealed that there have been frantic efforts to bring Mr Kofi Adda on board the campaign but he stood his grounds and refused over reasons yet to be known after he was persuaded by the presidency to drop his idea of running as an independent candidate. It would be recalled that the Minister was humbled at the primaries in June this year having obtained 269 votes, as Hon Abayage clenched 313 votes to secure the spot. But following irreconcilable differences, the former Energy Minister has since been reluctant in involving himself in the vigorous

A political Risk Analyst, Dr. Theo Acheampong is suggesting that words used by the former Special Prosecutor (SP), Mr. Martin Amidu in the latter’s latest epistle draws links to the fact that he is after a fight with the government. “…Using words like ‘lazy lawyers’, ‘government is now being run on autopilot’, ‘former anti-corruption Moses’; I think those words are quite unfortunate and I read it like Amidu is more or less spoiling or looking for a fight,” he explained on Joy FM’s Newsfile monitored by MyNewsGh.com According to him, although Mr. Amidu had every right to defend himself, his choice of words was uncalled for and gives the impression that he was after a fight with the Presidency. “Basically Amidu is claiming that the President has set more or less some attack dogs on him and so he needs to defend his integrity for following the professional work that he did on Agyapa”, Dr. Acheampong pointed out. His comment follows a 27-page response by the former Special Prosecutor
