Bawumia lied on electricity extension in Bole District – MP

The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bole- Bamboi Constituency Alhaji Yusif Sulemana has said that it is not true that there is an “ongoing Extension of Electricity at Chibrinyoa in Bole District” of the Savannah Region as said by the Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Dr Dawumia made the assertion during his lecture last week to outdoor government’s infrastructure record and as well outdoor a website which captures government’s infrastructure projects across the country and their state of completion.

Speaking on the morning show of Bole based Nkilgi FM on 27th August,2020 the Bole MP said; “The Minister of Energy Mr John Peter Amewu in answering my question on the extension of electricity to Chibriyoa and its surrounding communities was categorical. He said no any ongoing electrification works at Chibriyoa. Dr. Bawumia now comes to tell us there is an ongoing electrification works at Chibriyoa and so it is another big lie”.

The MP for Bole-Bamboi Constituency said he has supported his comments on the issue with a video of proceedings on the floor of Ghana’s Parliament on 6th August, 2020 when the Minister of Energy was asked when the national electricity grid will be extended to Babato, Chibrinyoa Dugli, Bampewa, Agbadago and Tambang all in the Bole District.

The MP said the Minister answered the question and stated; “The communities

Babato, Chibrinyoa Dugli, Bampewa, Agbadago and Tambang do not form part of any of the ongoing projects currently being executed by the Ministry of Energy”.

According to the MP the Energy minister further said; the “Communities have been noted and would be considered in subsequent face of the electrification project.

Giving further details of the issue, the Bole MP said the electricification project at Chibriyoa and other communities on the Bamboi to Babato road started in 2007 by the NPP government under JA Kufour and was continued by the NDC government under John Evan Atta Mills and that the main lines were extended to as far as Babato which ends the communities on that stretch of road.

Alhaji Yusif Sulemana said for some reasons the contactor left site and some of the main poles got burnt and that the Contactor returned to site but wanted government to recost the project.

Alhaji Yusif said the MP he succeeded assisted with poles for the project to continue but the project was not completed when NDC left power.

“As the sitting MP I took it up, went to the ministry several times and was promised the work will be completed. It was at my last visit that I was told the ministry has no plans to complete the work. I decided to bring this to public notice henced asked the minister a question on the floor of parliament on when the project will be completed; the MP said on Nkilgi FM.

The Bole MP also said the answer of the Minister on 6th August, 2020 was emphatic that there is no any ongoing electrification works at Chibriyoa.

“Surprisingly, Dr. Bawumia two weeks later reported to the whole world that work was on going at Chibriyoa. I called the assemblyman to verify Dr. Bawumia’s claim and it turned out that no such work is on going”; Alhaji Yusif disclosed.

Kwesi Amoako Attah, Minister of Roads and Highways, has cut sod for the rehabilitation of the 7.2 kilometer Tema Industrial Area to Kpone link road.

Government to set up Kente Village

Government is considering the idea of setting up a Kente Craft Village to boost the production of the Ghanaian indigenous cloth for both local and international markets.

The proposal, put together by the Royal Kente Weavers and Sellers Association, was presented to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo by the group’s representatives at the Jubilee House, Accra on Wednesday.

The plan, which targeted high kente production in the Western, Ahafo, Oti, Central and Eastern regions, aimed at training some 5,200 persons between the ages 15 to 24 on art of kente weaving to sustain the Kente tradition and its allied industry and to help promote it as part of Ghanaian cultural heritage.

Receiving the proposal from the group, President Akufo-Addo Addo said the Kente cloth embodied the rich identity of Ghana, and had over decades become visible on the world stage, particularly among people of black descent in the diaspora where it had become a symbol of connection to Africa.

He cited the adornment of kente vestments by the members of United States Senate and Congress as they solidarised with a black man whose life was taken unlawfully, saying the Kente cloth was a source of pride and dignity beyond Ghana.

The President said the proposal was noteworthy and would be given the needed attention by government.

He assured the group that government would lend support to help raise the level of Kente production.

Kwami Nyami, leader of the association who expressed appreciation for the audience granted the group by the President, appealed to government to give the needed attention to the kente weaving industry as it could create jobs for the teeming youth of Ghana.

Tell Ghanaians you won’t repeat past mistakes – Asantehene to Mahama

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has admonished NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama to assure Ghanaians that the mistakes that happened under his tenure as President will not be repeated if he is re-elected in the upcoming December polls.

The Asantehene made the comments during a visit by the former President to introduce his running mate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang to him on Wednesday at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.

According to the king, it is important for Mahama to do an introspection and explain to Ghanaians the mistakes of the past and how he has corrected those mistakes to warrant a second chance.

“You have been a President before and you want to return again as President. I have spoken to you a lot and I have said that if you want to come back, let Ghanaians know what went wrong yesterday. Also let Ghanaians know that the mistakes won’t be repeated.

“When you lost the election, I said that Ghanaians voted against you out of disappointment and anger. And when you were re-elected as flagbearer and you informed me, I asked you whether you have looked at your mistakes in the past and how you can convince Ghanaians how you will correct those mistakes.”

The Asantehene added “the sitting President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wants to be re elected for another 4 years and he has been going round explaining to Ghanaians what he has done. You have just told me what you did when you were President, and what you want to do if you get another chance. What you have to do is to tell Ghanaians the wrongs of the past and how you will correct those wongs.”

EC is overburdened, can’t regulate political parties – CHRAJ boss

Commissioner for Human Rights and Administrative Justice, Joseph Whittal, has said he backs suggestions that a new independent body should be established to take over the Electoral Commission’s role of regulating political parties.

According to Mr Whittal, the EC already has its hands full with conducting elections and referenda to take other roles like ensuring that political parties adhere to the rules on financial audits.

“The Electoral Commission is certainly overburdened with all public elections and referenda and so to add a regulator of political parties or as we call them ‘Registrar of Political Parties’, as we call them in other countries, I think it is an over-kill,” the CHRAJ Commissioner said at an event to launch the Citizens’ Anti-Corruption Manifesto in Accra.

Mr Whittal was responding to concerns that the EC has reneged on its mandate to audit the finances of political parties in Ghana, which some have said fuels corruption since there is no transparency in the financing of the parties.

The CHRAJ Commissioner said Ghana can adopt the system in other African countries where there is an independent Political Party Registrar responsible for ensuring registration of political parties granting certificates, going through their audits and their statement of accounts.

“If the evidence shows that the EC has not been able to activate that aspect of this law, we must be thinking of hacking it off and giving it to an independent body that can handle that aspect…and making sure that the outstanding issues of monitoring political party financing are addressed,” he stressed.

The citizens’ manifesto is a project that seeks to inform strategic policy direction for the political parties before they are elected into office.

The project is funded by STAR-Ghana Foundation with support from UKAid and European Union.

It is titled, “Making All Voices Count in the 2020 Anti-Corruption Agenda of Political Parties’ Manifestoes” and reveals, among other things that, citizens want legislative reforms to prioritise stronger sanctions against proceeds against criminal activity.

On the administrative fronts, citizens proposed that there should be an introduction of anti-corruption and integrity curricula in schools.

”It is about leadership, it’s about transforming Ghana and that is what we have achieved. Give him four more years to do more so Ghana’s transformation will continue. Ghana can transform like abroad but its take good leadership for this to happen. We need leadership that can give direction, dedication, courage, commitment so that the transformation will continue.”

The Gambaga/Nalerigu MP further added that releases to the various assemblies from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) have sharply increased from ¢461 million in 2016 to ¢967 million in 2019 by the government.

After Praying And Helping NPP Win, They Have Tagged Me ‘NDC’ & Never Have Appreciated My Efforts – Opambour

The General Overseer of Ebenezer Miracle Worship Centre, Rev Opambour Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, has lashed out at the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for relegating him to the background after they won the elections in 2016.

According to the popular Kumasi-based preacher, the executives of the NPP thronged to his church on countless occasions to seek spiritual assistance in their frantic bid to win power in 2016.

In a televised sermon, Opambour said his decision to speak the truth about the current government has resulted in he being tagged as a sympathizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“I should have enjoying all ther goodies the big men in governemnt are currently having because of my contribution to the party which helped them win the elections in 2016
The NPP executives used to visit my church for spiritual assistanace but after they won the elections, they have decided to abandoned me and my role. I am now seen as an NDC member.”

Opambour added that he should have received a Land Cruiser by now for his pivotal role to the success of the party.

“The NPP should have brought us a land-cruiser by this time. They should have even helped us laid pavement blocks here to make our church premises look good

Prophet Nigel Gaisie Drops Five Political Prophecies; Predicts A Win For Mahama In The December Polls
Founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Church, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, has dropped five new political prophecies ahead of a very volatile election period in Ghana.

His prophecy also announces a win for Former President Mahama who is seeking a come back to the presidency.

In a Facebook post, Prophet Nigel Gaisie who has been in the news in recent times for all the wrong reasons said, amongst other things, there is a political plot to terminate his life because he has been deemed as a thorn in the flesh of the governing party.

Below Are The Five Prophecies Prophet Nigel Gaisie Put Forth:
1. 1. I saw a SERIOUS ATTACK ON A VICE RUNNING MATE, let them PRAY
2. 2. Ghana Will PROSPER, I SAW IT FROM 2021, MIDYEAR
3. 3. I saw a hatched plan against my person and my church thus they will CRASH MY CAR AND KILL ME BECAUSE I HAVE BECOME TORN IN THEIR FLESH BUT BE ASSURED THE LORD SEETH ALL THINGS AHEAD OF THEM AND REVEALS IT TO HIS Servants.
4. 4. I saw an attack on Burkina Faso
5. 5. I sense a GREAT WIND BLOW ON THE NATION OF AMERICA
Prophet Nigel Gaisie is part of a crop of pastors who many describe as “politically-biased preachers who allow their affiliation to political parties to determine the angle of their so-called prophecies.”

Also, recent controversies surrounding the dealings of the pastor has eroded his reputation in the eyes of the public who believe there may be something up his sleeves. There has been a breakdown in the trust the people used to repose in him and others based on their conduct and attitude.

As the election period draws closer, prophecies upon prophecies would Ghanaians be bombarded with. Each preacher or prophet will claim he or she has heard from God concerning the outcome of the elections in a subtle bid to court the attention and admiration of the citizenry when these prophecies somehow materialize.
