Agric Minister Dr Afriyie Akoto holds NPP’s key to breaking the 8 – Kwame Pianim

The success of the current New Patriotic Party(NPP) in winning the 2024 elections largely depends on Agric Minister, Hon.  Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto

His ancestral contribution to Ghana’s democracy   and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has impacted lives of people both present and past times according to renowned Economist Kwame Pianim.

“For one and two of the four pillars of the party that his father worked so hard to help us establish, that will help this party break the jinx of the two terms. Of the eight elections that we’ve had, NDC has won four and NPP has also won four. The Minister for Food and Agriculture must be able to mechanise, rejuvenate and rehabilitate agriculture to increase output and remove the yield deficit. We realise that of everything we produce in Ghana, we only attain 50% of the attainable world yield; maize, rice, cocoa, just name it. If we are able to improve and overcome that yield deficit and the one district one factory [initiative] gets the output to process in the districts where the young people live and stay, they will be able to have good-paying jobs to stay in the districts so that they don’t come to the towns to burden the already overtasked social infrastructure.”

“The other two pillars are free Senior High School, to improve the quality of our manpower for development and the fourth one is helping to put a stop to bribery and corruption that has been holding us back for all these years. So the Agric Minister is responsible for two and if he is able to do that, we will be able to break the jinx to continue to establish what Akoto Baffour fought for,” he added.

According to Mr. Kwame Pianim, Economist and a leading member of NPP, the late Baffour Osei Akoto, father of the current Agric Minister, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto promoted Agric business before the international community as being done under this government currently.

“The significance of the role of his father Baffour Osei Akoto and hence his legacy in chieftaincy affairs can only be appreciated in the context of Asante in Ghana and West Africa”, Mr. Kwame Pianim observed.

Speaking at the Re-Akoto Memorial Lectures held at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) the Chairman of the program commended Agric Minister for spearheading and successful implementation of the government’s Planting for Food program.

 “Like his late father, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto deserves more in government. He is doing a lot to improve our agricultural sector in Ghana”, Mr. Kwame Pianim pointed out.

Hon. Dr. Owusu Akoto Afriyie who also delivered a speech highlighted his late father’s achievements to the then National Liberation Movement (NLM) which become a very formidable alternative political party to the then ruling New People’s Party..

“I should emphasis that, amongst the prime purposes of Baffour Akoto in politics was  to prevent dictatorship in Ghana. He was anxious that if people who loved freedom sat on fence, Ghana would one day become one party state”, Hon. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto revealed.

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...
