You’ve been a joke; you can’t mobilize your MPs to pass your E-Levy – Ofosu Kwakye to NPP

Former Deputy Minister of Communications and prominent Member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Felix Kwakye Ofosu has said that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been a joke for failing to fully mobilize its Members of Parliament (MPs) to pass the controversial E-Levy after engaging in bluster and throwing tantrums about following the NDC’s fierce opposition to the bill.

After failing to pass the E-Levy, the Government led by the finance minister has deferred laying the bill before Parliament in order to do further consultations with stakeholders and educate the public on the need for the levy.

But for Mr Kwakye Ofosu, the party is scrambling to get all its MPs to be able to pass the bill.

“The NPP has been a joke on this E Levy matter.

After their bluster and tantrums, they are simply unable to organize their members to have sufficient numbers in Parliament to pass the E Levy. They then keep the whole nation waiting as they scramble to assemble their members from around the world at extra cost to the taxpayer.

What a shambles this government has become!” He lashed out on social media.

Meanwhile, the Majority Group in Parliament 137 NPP MPs and one independent MP – is set to introduce the bill later today, January 28, 2022, so that it could be passed into law.

The Minority Group – 137 NDC MPs – has maintained that it is opposed to the bill despite the Finance Minister’s concession to reduce the rate from 1.75% to 1.5% after meeting with the Minority Group.

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. 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...

Chile, the last few weeks have been filled with the ongoing relationship drama involving “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” stars Ray J and his wife Princess Love. Everyday there seems to be a new development—but this latest one could mean that all the messiness is over. #Roommates, by now you already know that during the recent Soul Train Awards where Ray J was a co-host on the red carpet, his wife Princess Love accused him of leaving her and their daughter Melody stranded with no way home.

Earlier this week, things seemed to have settled a little when Ray J was finally reunited with his daughter after not seeing her for a bit. He posted a video of little Melody asleep on his chest and referred to her as his “heart.” Well, the latest social media activity by Ray J appears to me...
