Kwaku Baako calls for ‘serious’ punishment for MPs involved in scuffle

Seasoned Journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako said the misconduct of the Members of Parliament with regard to the controversial e-levy should not go unaccounted for.

Tension in the House on Monday, December 20, escalated into fisticuffs between the MPs as they threw punches at one another during proceedings.

Similarly, in January this year before the formation of the 8th Parliament, some members violently misbehaved in the Legislative House which saw the Tema West Member of Parliament, Carlos Ahenkorah plundering ballot papers in an attempt to abscond but was met with fierce fight from the Minority members.

Another similar scene was captured on Wednesday, December 1, where some Minority members further attempted to pull the Speaker’s seat, also resulting in a near-brawl.

This according to Kweku Baako is becoming too much and it will only be cut off if the MP’s involved are punished.

According to him, those sparking chaos in Parliament must be singled out and appropriate punitive actions were taken against them.

Baako registered his displeasure with the MPs saying, “I’m worried. Yeah, I’m worried; I’m even angry that the incidents happening in Parliament are disturbing, particularly the 8th Parliament”.

“It is very useful and it’s a matter of principle that the specific individuals that showed misconduct in the August House of Parliament should be identified.”

“They should be identified and the appropriate action was taken against them within the context of parliamentary standing orders as well as the national constitution and the laws of this country.”

“Perhaps, I’m now convinced that that is the best way forward in curing this mischief, especially because of the repetition . . . I’m so disappointed. I’m so worried. I’m angry. I’m actually angry,” he fumed.

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...
