Tweaa DCE

 

After making the word ‘Twea’ so popular and even claiming that his absurd utterance has made him more famous, DCE Twea (real name Gabriel Barima) from Ahafo Ano South has been SACKED…

Now that DCE Gabriel has been sacked, how are we going to find the person who said Tweaa? I guess the question of the century that will remain unanswered is; who said Tweaaa?

line

According RadioXYZ;

The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South in the Ashanti Region, Gabriel Barima who has made the word “tweaa” popular has been dismissed.

A statement signed the Executive Secretary to the President; Dr. Raymong Atuguba said “the president acting on the Local Government Act section 204 has dismissed the DCE for Ahafo Ano South, Gabriel Barima with immediate effect.”

The statement added that the Ashanti Regional Minister has been directed to act until a substantive DCE is appointed.

Akua Donkor Says ‘I’ll Sue Nana Addo, He’s A Thief, He Stole My Free SHS Education Policy’

Akua Donkor

 

Politics in Ghana gets funny sometimes—and I guess we need that to kill off the tension. With NPP screaming for the past week that the NDC has somehow stolen their FREE SHS Educational Policy/Campaign promise, and the NDC saying otherwise, things have taken a different turn.

Madam Akua Donkor has jumped into the debate to label Nana Akufo Addo a thief, claiming that the latter stole her FREE SHS Educational policy…

line

According to PeaceFm;

The Founder and leader of Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Akua Donkor has labeled the 2012 Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) a “thief”.

According to her, the ‘Free SHS Education’ policy which some NPP members including their 2012 flagbearer have claimed ownership was exclusively introduced by her though she did not get the nod from the Electoral Commission (EC) to pursue that dream as a Presidential candidate in the 2012 polls.

Stressing on her policy, she said the ‘Free SHS Education’ was boldly written on her posters during the 2012 election campaign and everyone saw it but because she did not meet the requirements of the EC, it was ‘stolen’ by the NPP.

Full Transcript of President Mahama’s 2014 State Of The Nation Address

John Mahama

 

 

Yesterday, Ghana’s president John Dramani Mahama gathered courage in spite of the economic hardship to address the nation—and interestingly, he sort of gave hope for a better Ghana, to come…

We’ve heard so much of the better Ghana to come, what we now need is for things to start happening.

Right Honourable Speaker,

Your Excellency, the Vice President, Your Ladyship, the Chief Justice, Honourable Members of Parliament,

Since the start of the Fourth Republic, every President, in fulfillment of Article 67 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, has stood before this august house each year to address the state of our nation. It is my privilege, as President, to also stand before you today to present a message on the state of the nation.

I am pleased to be addressing the full house today, and I wish to thank all my parliamentary colleagues for the cooperation you have continually extended to me since I was sworn in as President.

Kwesi Pratt Jnr. Says ‘I Pity President Mahama’ | Do You Pity Him too?

John Mahama

 

 

We’ve been told the cedi is gradually stabilizing against the dollar but is that our only worry as a country?

Things are hard, an occasional saying has become a national anthem and without the right team on board to bring in the needed change, hope is lost for many Ghanaians.

Do you pity the President of Ghana-John Dramani Mahama for his attempt and will to help but his inability to make an impact due to the people on his team?

line

According to PeaceFm;

“Sometimes I sit down and I pity the President. A very sincere young man, he wants to do something but I look at his team and I say to myself; my brother is in big trouble.Is this the team?” queries Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper.

Commenting on the performance of government and its Presidential appointees as well as members of the communication team, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. bemoaned the lack of alacrity and seriousness in discharging their duties.

Fall Of The Cedi Is Due To Juju, Dwarfs Says NDC National Women’s Organiser-Anita Desooso

Cedi
Cedi

Are we serious as a nation?

Our inability to dispose off some of the absurd superstitions as Africans does not sit well with the current state of globalization. We cannot even face the truth and work hard to uplift our own economy without invoking God—and now we are blaming Juju and some poor Dwarfs who are probably hungry, looking for bananas to eat…

What a mess!

line

According to AdomFm;

The National Women’s Organiser of the governing National Democratic Congress has blamed the steep depreciation of the cedi against the dollar and other major trading currencies to black magic or juju.

Anita Desooso, speaking on Adom FM on Monday February 10, 2014 said the activities of magicians, who conjure up money as part of their stock in trade, have a direct effect on the cedi, which is witnessing unprecedented depreciation in recent times.

Citing the activities of black marketers, currency speculators and other people she describes as “saboteurs”, Ms Desooso, who was recently appointed a deputy National Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), claimed the juju men, who use dwarfs, stole such monies from banks and other financial institutions and inadvertently affected their stability.

Kofi Wayo

The leader and chairman of the United Renaissance Party (URP), Eric Charles Kofi Wayo, popularly known as Kofi Wayo, has declared that Ghana as a country has collapsed long time ago.

He made this assertion in connection with the economic situation of the country when he spoke on Accra based Okay Fm this evening. He suggested the President meet with critical thinkers like Scientists, Engineers, Businessmen, etc. and seek their ideas to help him govern the country to enable him deal with the economic crisis rather than paying attention to pastors in the country.

Kofi Wayo was speaking in relation to news that broke out recently about Archbishop Duncan Williams spiritually commanding the official currency (Cedi) of the country to rise.

I Feel Sorry For President Mahama And Ghana-Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom Writes

Paa Kwesi-Nduom
Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom Writes

Things have always been hard in Ghana but it is exceedingly hard and getting harder under President Mahama’s leadership—forcing people like Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams to spiritually “command” the falling cedi to “rise”.

Without any hope of things getting better, most Ghanaians are frustrated and are tired of complaining.

What is sad is that, the Government seems not to accept that the economy is heading for disaster—and seems not to have any hopeful plan of restoration.

Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom has taken to his facebook page to pour out his frustration;

line

I really felt sorry for a President John Dramani Mahama and Ghana when I heard two members of his administration and NDC political party on an Accra radio station this past Saturday.

I wondered, “…are we safe?” These two are senior members of the Mahama Administration gave us all ample reasons why we are where we are with a “see-saw” economy and a suffering people.

According to one of them, high rise buildings, mansions for a few, the Pokuase road among others are “good” reasons for the fiscal deficits Ghana is facing and the depreciation of the cedi. With “experts” like these in government, who needs reality?

Prayer Alone Won’t Take Ghana Anywhere Says Kwesi Pratt

Driving In Ghana (2)
Ghana

Believe me or not, there are certain people in Ghana who refuse to go to the hospital when sick, rather they run to the church. Similarly, there are people who expect to be fed the way the Israelis were fed straight from heaven and there are those who leave everything to God while doing nothing…

It is great that most Ghanaians are God fearing but without engaging in what will bring productivity ( which prayers can’t bring), our country will continue to struggle.

We must know when to leave God alone and take up the mantle…

line

According to PeaceFM;

Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper has bemoaned the country’s inability to improve on the economy despite its vast resources.

Speaking to the issue of the downward trend of the economy, Kwesi Pratt Jnr told Suhiyini Alhassan of Radio Gold that the decline in the economy can be based on two factors: low levels of productivity, and the lack of control of the country’s resources.

Low levels of productivity

During the time of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s First President, the country produced lots of items which brought development into the country, according to Kwesi Pratt.

Pratt Joins Many Ghanaians To Warn Gov’t Against Sponsoring Anyone To Brazil 2014 World Cup

World Cup 2014
World Cup 2014

If paying huge sums of money as wages to men kicking balls around a field is not enough waste of resource, a struggling country like Ghana paying further huge sums of money to sponsors people to go and watch these men should definitely be seen as a waste, even by the fanatics.

In line with on-going economic hardship in Ghana, Kwesi Pratty and New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Asokwa-Maxwell Kofi Jumah have joined the many Ghanaians who are calling on the Government not to waste state resource on sponsoring people to 2014 WorldCup, to be held in Brazil.

If anyone wants to go to Brazil to watch the Black stars play, they can surely go but why must the Government foot the bill when we could channel that money towards fixing some of the many problems we have in Ghana?

The truth is that, the real football supporters are never sponsored to attend such tournaments. The Government in power’s party supporters are those who benefit from the sponsorship.

line

According to PeaceFm;

Football is obviously one of the country’s biggest sports. Imagine the spectacle without fans. Would it be the same? The answer obviously is a “BIG NO”.

Watching live FIFA World cup is an expensive business, and it gets more expensive every four years. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa, quite a colossal amount of money was used by government to airlift soccer fanatics to South Africa; a decision which later became a major issue of discussion.

The joy that accompanied Ghana’s qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is yet to die down with most football fans dreaming of going to Brazil to be part of the fiesta.

President Mahama Says He Is Being Forced To SACK Finance Minister-Seth Terkper

John Mahama

 

I do not think sacking the Finance Minister will change anything in Ghana—probably sacking the entire Government may make a difference. The compounding problems of Ghana is not being caused by the dealings of one person-the Finance Minister.

According to President John Dramani Mahama, extensive pressure is being mounted on him from within to sack Finance Minister-Seth Terkper for doing what the president sees to be right for the economy, though, bad for politics…

line

According to Radio XYZ;

President John Mahama says there’s pressure mounting on him from within his own government to sack his finance Minister.

He said certain reforms being engineered by Seth Terkper to tweak the economy to not only break the cycle of ills inherent within it but also fix certain fiscal weaknesses through some reforms, have got tongues wagging in the government, thus the pressure for his dismissal.

Ken Agyapong Is Not NPP Financier, Says Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey

Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey

 

Hon. Ken Agyepong has on countless platforms made claims that the NPP owes him huge sums of money and to certain people, without the financial help of Ken Agyepong, the NPP as a party cannot operate…

Though many of us sitting afar believe that Ken Agyepong has somehow been financially instrumental in the various NPP’s election campaigns,  the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey has emphatically stated that, Ken Agyepong has never given the party any money—to the best of his knowledge.

National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, has stated that the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong is not a “key financier” of the party.

J. J. Rawlings Says Acheampong, Utuka & Others Needed To Die

J J Rawlings

 

It will be hypocrisy on my apart to suddenly claim that no one has the right to take away the life of another, because life is a God given gift—on the grounds that I don’t even believe in the existence of such a God.

However, even with the absence of objective moral values (as some people argue), right to life is a basic right, inherent, and until a Court of a land through fair trail has ordered so, it becomes illegal to take the life of another—-no matter the justification you can buy from somewhere…

Without a fair trail as we will all accept, J. J Rawlings had no legal right to kill or order the killing of any of the people he did. It is therefore unfortunate that even as at today, he still thinks his actions are justified and proper.

line

According to RadioXYZ;

Former President Jerry Rawlings says the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council necessarily needed to have executed Generals Afrifa, Acheampong, Utaka and other senior Military Officers in 1979 to save the country from implosion.

“We had no choice. We thought let two go. Acheampong and a certain Utuka, very corrupt Generals. They were sacrificed. It was not enough. Ladies and gentlemen, 10 days later, we had to sacrifice another 6 and some of the Commanders were innocent good people but it had to be done because the rage in the country was too high, too much”, the former Military leader told students in the Volta region where he spoke as the Guest of honour at the closing ceremony of the regional camp of the International Youth Fellowship at the Adidome Senior High School.
