Choose Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu As The Running Mate In Order To Restore Peace And Unity In Ashanti Region – APN-D Appeals to NPP

The Asante Patriotic Network-Diaspora is a pro-New Patriotic Party group which champions the interests of Asanteman through the NPP. As our name explains itself, we are based in the diaspora, particularly the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Korea, Japan and Europe. We usually prefer to operate on the quiet, but we have gotten to a point where we find it necessary to come public with some concerns. But before we cut to the chase, APN-D would want to seize this chance to commend the NPP Government for the good job done so far although the Global…

Ahwois Paying Mahama Back For His Role In The Demise Of Mills? Ernest Owusu-Bempah Wants To Know

Ahwois Paying Mahama Back For His Role In The Demise Of Mills? Ernest Owusu-Bempah Wants To Know

“Cowards die many times before their deaths: The valiant never taste of death but once”. On 16 December 1977, the imprisoned Nelson Mandela signed his name beside these lines from Julius Caesar in the hidden copy of Shakespeare’s works that was known as the ‘Robben Island Bible.’ That the play spoke to the Elizabethan audience of 1599 – animated by rebellion, political turbulence and the question of royal succession – is no surprise. More striking is its endurance as a text for subsequent ages, and a guidebook to power and its exercise in our own times. To an almost uncanny…

The New FORCE: A New Force Or An Old Shallowness

The New FORCE: A New Force Or An Old Shallowness

Nana Kwame Bediako (aka Freedom Jacob Ceasar or Cheddar) recently announced that he wants to extend the sea from the coast of Ghana to the Ashanti region. He said this as part of his political tour of the Ashanti region, where he wants to listen to Ghanaians ahead of this year’s (2024) elections. While the promise to extend the sea from the coast of Ghana to the landlocked region of the Ashanti Region is ambitious, the real question is the feasibility of such a venture in the face of other alternatives and Ghana’s current economic woes. Before addressing feasibility and…

CELEBRATING VERANDAH BOYS IN GOVERNANCE-  A Piece By Prof Kwesi Yankah

CELEBRATING VERANDAH BOYS IN GOVERNANCE- A Piece By Prof Kwesi Yankah

I have been a silent student of ‘language in governance’ for a while now, beginning from the revolutionary period when Rawlings’ PNDC formed a blend of elites and grassroots in a Consultative Assembly to draft the 1992 constitution. The proposed constitution framers included non-literates, butchers, market-women, lawyers, dress makers, farmers. In 1991, I was inspired to do an essay for my media column entitled, ‘Butchers and the Constitution.’ I interviewed ‘fitters,’ butchers, etc. on their new assignment, and tracked their participation at the consultative forum. My interest in semi-literates in governance peaked in the mid 2000s, when as my contribution…

Kwadwo N. Poku Writes: Strong Leadership And Innovative Ideas At NPA Are Set To Lower The Cost Of LPG And Enable CRM

Kwadwo N. Poku Writes: Strong Leadership And Innovative Ideas At NPA Are Set To Lower The Cost Of LPG And Enable CRM

Following the gas explosion at Atomic Junction in 2017, the government made the implementation of the LPG Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) a top priority. A key challenge has been finding ways to implement this capital-intensive policy while ensuring that LPG remains affordable for the average household. Under the CRM, customers are no longer required to purchase gas cylinders, as they do not own them. Instead, cylinders of various sizes are already filled with LPG, and customers exchange their empty cylinders for filled ones. Led by Dr. Mustapha Hamid, the NPA management has introduced an international tender for LPG importation. This…

Mahama Keeps Justifying Why Ghanaians Shouldn’t Vote For Him- PK Sarpong

Dear John Mahama! You never disappoint! You keep on justifying why Ghanaians should never make the mistake of voting for you as the next president. When you were at helm of affairs, you made a mess of the economy. The poverty of thinking to generate ideas for the betterment of the masses was so glaring that you ended up being voted out with about a million votes margin. The economy was plunged into an abyss never experienced before in our history. Your dumsor legacy still gives us jitters whenever you speak today. Unemployment was at its apogee when you were…
