When we look around our neighbourhood, we might be tempted to think that our work is done, but we, Ghanaians, have never been known to settle for mediocrity. We aim for the best in every field. We should compare ourselves with the best that there is, and not settle for anything less. For as long as there is poverty and injustice anywhere in Ghana, our work is not done. _ Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo

SPARE PARTS DEALERS HAIL BAWUMIA'S FLAT RATE TAX

05/02/2024

Kofi Bentil is getting overwhelming fans and support on and off social media simply Because his position on the 2024 Elections makes more sense and his logic is deductive than the rest.

THE JOHN MAHAMA FACT:

1. It is true that John Mahama has been Vice-President before

2. It is true that John Mahama as Vice-President was part of a clueless government who took Ghana 6 steps back in our economic rating ladder from where President Kuffour left us. (this is supported by Data)

3. It is true that in 2012, though the failure of the NDC Government then was glaring, President Mahama asked the people of Ghana to give him an opportunity to be tried as president. You all recall how He and his followers used to lament about the treatment meted out to him as vice president by close aides of the President Mills.

4. It is true that the People of Ghana granted H.E John Mahama his request and was voted as president, Between 2012 - 2016.

5. It is true that the Presidency of H.E John Mahama was terrible and unarguably passes as the worst leadership this country has seen, not just incompetent but the most incoherent leadership this country has seen.

6. It is true that no one has disputed how terrible this country was between 2012-2016.

7. It is true that, John Mahama was a dormant and laid back Vice President. Their own admission of this fact can be deduced from several comments from within their circles and made publicly about how he wasn’t allowed to work and was treated with disdain.

8. It is true that, H.E John Mahama as a vice-President was personally engulfed in several Corruption allegations. Evidence exists on how their own Attorney General and later touted by them as a Citizen Vigilante, Hon. Martin Amidu accuses John Mahama as having collected bribes as a sitting President in the embraer Scandal in the UK. Same Martin Amidu hints of an investigation that was instituted against former President by his Boss Prof. Atta Mills on a corrupt Airline procurement saga. A vice president under investigation set up by the his own President.

7. It is true that, the real data to support how terrible this country was and how Ghanaians felt about is available through the elections results in 2016. Before you dispute how terrible the country was, refer to the electoral results where over 1million Ghanaians passed that verdict. NB: No President has ever lost an election by that margin in our 4th republic history.

8. It is true and supported by the facts and Data, that, the Presidency of John Mahama was a complete disaster

9. Conclusive & Incontrovertible fact is that, John Mahama was given the chance and he FAILED.

THE Bawumia FACT:
1. It is true that the only Poisition Bawumia has ever occupied in this country is the position of the Vice-President of the Republic of Ghana

2. It is incontrovertibly true and disputed by none, that, Bawumia has been the most vibrant, innovative and hardworking Vice-President this country has seen in history.

3. It is true, that, as Vice-President, there is no dispute about the fact that, Bawumia has discharged that role and his duties to the admiration of all, local and globally.

4. It is true that, evidence abounds of specific initiatives which have been acclaimed as landmark projects, geared towards changing the narratives of this country initiated and can be attributed directly to the vice-President Bawumia.

5. It is true that, all stakeholders in this country are in agreement and have no dispute about the intergrity and credibility of Bawumia

6. It is true that, as Vice-President, Bawumia is not corrupt and has never been related with corruption. The unanimity on that is resounding

7. It is true that, Bawumia is touted as the most competent Vice-President this county has seen. (Read this line well and in proper context)

CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO THE NEW PATRIOTIC PARTY FROM PRESIDENT AKUFO-ADDO

The parliamentary primaries of Saturday, 27th January 2024, have effectively marked the completion of the final phase of internal contests in the New Patriotic Party for the general elections of 7th December 2024. Once again, through our conduct, we, in the New Patriotic Party, have demonstrated to the Ghanaian people that we are the Party of democracy and the rule of law.

I extend warm congratulations to the rank and file of the party, and applaud all stakeholders - the national, regional, constituency, electoral area and polling station executives of the party, the Electoral Commission, the security services and the media - for a job well done.

The time-tested, honoured tradition that has kept the NPP as one indissoluble unit demands that the victor receives the unalloyed support of the candidates who were not successful at the polls. If we are to Break the Eight, which I know is very possible, then we must stay true to this tradition, unite firmly behind our excellent presidential candidate and formidable parliamentary candidates, and deliver another resounding victory for the party, and, thereby, continue the process of bringing progress and prosperity to every part of our country, an endeavour on which we are already fully embarked.

We have elected a good blend of experienced and youthful parliamentary candidates, whom I warmly congratulate, and who, I am confident, will help secure a majority for the NPP in the ninth Parliament of the 4th Republic, and help return an NPP presidential candidate into office on 7th January 2025. I appeal to all who lost to remember that, in elections, there are winners and losers, and that today's losers can be tomorrow's winners.

I urge all true-blue party members to recollect, at all times, that the Danquah-Dombo-Busia political tradition is the greatest, most enduring and noblest political tradition in Ghanaian politics. It was founded to fight foreign domination of our country and domestic tyranny of our state, which has, subsequently, emboldened several generations of its activists to defy detentions, exiles, martyrdoms and long periods of opposition, to continue with the project of building a free, democratic and prosperous nation, propelled by individual enterprise and initiative, and by a deep sense of social justice.

Let us stay the course, conduct ourselves well before the Ghanaian people, strengthen our organisation, and win the 2024 elections.

The Elephant is our winning symbol!!

27/01/2024

On behalf of the New Patriotic Party, I congratulate all those who have been elected today by the delegates of our party to participate in the December elections on the ticket of the NPP.

I congratulate also the party parliamentary elections committee, the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the Security services, and the media for their contributions to making today's election a peaceful and successful one.

To those who lost out, I, together with the rank and file of the party, need your support and contributions to ensure that we win majority seats and the Presidency in December 2024.

I urge the unsuccessful aspirants to leave the election behind, consider the supreme interest of the party, and work closely with the elected parliamentary candidates to secure success for the NPP.

With unity of purpose, we will win in December 2024!

DR. MAHAMUDU BAWUMIA Vice President of the Republic of Ghana and NPP Flagbearer

THE RAILWAY STORY;
The first units of 12 modern trains for Ghana Railways to operate both regional and long-distance lines are on their way from Poland. They're due in Ghana by mid February.

The framework contract with the Ghanaian Railways covers 12 diesel multiple units, with 10 vehicles being an option for the ordering party. The vehicle is technically similar to the RegioFox vehicles that Bydgoszcz produces for Czech Railways.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia write:

This morning, I commissioned Ghana's second Fire Service Academy and Training School in Wungu, in the North East Region.

The newly-built training school, which has well-furnished classrooms, a three-storey administration block, dormitories for male and female, a dining hall, and also equipped with modern training equipment, is the 2nd fire service training school in Ghana, since independence, after the only one at James Town, Accra.

The commissioning of the training school, is in fulfillment of our government’s decision to add three more fire service training schools to the only one in the country. Very soon, the third training school in Dua-Yaw Nkwanta will also be commissioned, and the fourth is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Our government’s commitment to increasing the strength and capacity of the Ghana Fire Service, is also underlined by the over 100% increase in personnel, from 7000 to 15,000 in the past 7 years.

President Akufo-Addo Attends World Economic Forum In Davos; Nam Conference In Uganda.


The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at the invitation of the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Prof. Klaus Schwab, left Ghana on Monday, 15th January 2024, to attend the 2024 Edition of the World Economic Forum Annual Meetings being held from Tuesday, 16th January, to Friday, 19th January.

The Davos Meeting has become an iconic global forum, which brings together world leaders in politics, business, finance and academia to deliberate on matters affecting the global community.

The President will leave Davos, Switzerland, for Kampala, Uganda, to participate in the 2024 Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement, which is being held on the theme “"Deepening Cooperation for Shared Global Affluence".

The Non-Aligned Movement has its origins from what has been referred to as the first large-scale Asian–African or Afro–Asian Conference, held on 18th– 24th April, 1955. It is popularly known as the Bandung Conference (taking on the name of the City where it was held – Bandung, Indonesia). The Conference was attended by delegations from twenty-nine (29) governments, mostly from Asia – owing to the fact that most of present-day African states were still under colonial control.

Upon leaving Uganda, President Akufo-Addo will then attend the swearing-in ceremony of the President-elect of the Republic of Liberia, His Excellency Joseph Boakai in Monrovia, Liberia.

The President was accompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchway; Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta; and officials from the Foreign Ministry and the Presidency.

The President will return to Ghana on Monday, 22nd January, 2024, and in his absence, the Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, shall, in accordance with Article 60(8) of the Constitution, act in his stead.

BEAP will address Ghana’s unemployment challenges – YEA CEO

The CEO of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Kofi Baah Agyepong, has said the Business and Employment Assistance Programme (BEAP) will help reduce Ghana’s unemployment rate by giving lifeline for countless young individuals striving to carve out a promising future.

According to him, the initiative seeks to address the financial strains faced by Micro and Small Scale Enterprises (MSMEs) during the tumultuous period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Drawing upon a Ghana Statistical Service survey revealing the hardships faced by businesses, including wage reductions and closures, BEAP emerges as a vital intervention to support these struggling enterprises.

Speaking to journalists in Kumasi on Wednesday (10 January 2024), Mr Agyepong said the BEAP aims to provide a lifeline to MSMEs, offering salary support of GHS 500 per recruited employee, with the employer supplementing the remainder.

Targeting various establishments such as chop bars, pharmacies, schools, and more, BEAP strives to alleviate the financial burden on these enterprises while bolstering employment opportunities for Ghana's workforce, he added.

Highlighting the programme's ambitious goals, Mr Agyepong announced plans to support 10,000 companies, facilitating the employment of approximately 20,000 individuals. He reassured Ghanaians of the YEA's sustainable funding from the Communication Service Tax, emphasising the agency's unwavering commitment to directing these funds solely towards job creation.

Mr Agyepong extended appreciation to the government for its endorsement and support, ensuring the programme's successful launch and initiation.

YEA has been instrumental in partnering with state agencies, offering skills training, and fostering employment opportunities, exemplified by the success stories of several programmes implemented over the past year.

Despite the admitted global economic challenges, he said: “We have been working hard to reduce the rate of unemployment and lessen the burdens of life on young people whiles affording them the opportunity to make ends meet.

Touching on the success story of the agency, Mr Agyepong said in 2022/2023, the government of Ghana through YEA recruited:
• 15,000 Community Protection Assistants working with the Ghana Police Service.
• 6,000 Community Health Workers working with the Ghana Health Service,
• 1,500 Prison Office Assistants working with the Ghana Prisons Service,
• 4,000 workers on the Cocoa Rehabilitation Programme.
• 5,000 Insurance Agents for the National Insurance Commission with base pay.
• 13,000 direct jobs secured through the YEA Job Centre
• 2,000 dressmaking trainees undergoing apprenticeship training with GHC500 monthly support.
• over 30,000 entrepreneurs trained by both the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) and the Ghana Library Board with support for set-ups,
• 2,000 young people trained by the Accra Digital Centre in Basic and Advanced IT skills.
• Currently, YEA is recruiting another 20,000 young people to be trained and set up in 10 different trade areas being – carpentry, masonry, plumbing, hairdressing, beauty care, auto works, General Electricals, Plaster of Paris (POP), Steel Works, Welding and Fabrication and Painting. All arrangements have been made for training to start next week.
• 45,000 Sanitation Module beneficiaries
• financial support to over 500 dress makers and 40 large garment companies

Statistics presented by the CEO illustrated the extensive impact of YEA initiatives, with over 16,000 jobs created in the Ashanti Region alone. Notably, various sectors, including community services, health, entrepreneurship, and vocational training, experienced substantial growth, offering a beacon of hope for Ghanaian youth seeking stable employment and entrepreneurial ventures.

Akim Oda Market unfortunately got burnt and our dear mothers and fathers got displaced and lost their economic means of survival.

Here you are today, Market reconstructed and enhanced… Mothers and families livelihood being restored.

Now if you see these women queueing to vote for the Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in Freedom) , do not think you are smarter than them and assume they know not what they are about.

They have a genuine reason to protect their gains and so it is for several communities across Ghana today. This government inspite of our challenges, just as all governments face in the past, is showing the tenacity to be there for the people at their point of need, to sustain their livelihoods whiles solutions are proffered for the macro-economic challenges.

Don’t forget, Oda Market receives foodstuffs directly from the farmgates and the market women are not hiking the prices. So your Madina created food inflation doesn’t affect the people there. They have a good reason to vote for this government Becos we are truly looking out for them.

This and many more are the things happening accross Ghana, Government interventions which go to directly affect and impact the lives of the people.

Slowly but steadily we shall Rise

PRESIDENCY REJECTS CLAIMS OF ALLEGATIONS OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CHANGES IN THE HIERARCHY OF THE GHANA ARMED FORCES

The Office of the President has taken note of a publication on social media alleging a deliberate attempt by the Presidency to orchestrate politically motivated changes within the hierarchy of the Armed Forces, with the sole aim of using the Military to brutalise citizens during the conduct of the December 7 general elections.

The publication alleges further that a meeting was held at the Presidency on Tuesday, 2nd January 2024, to discuss the so-called politically-motivated changes in the Ghana Armed Forces.

Indeed, the President of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, held a meeting with Heads of Security agencies at
Jubilee House on 2nd January 2024, a meeting which has become an annual feature on the President's calendar at the beginning of the New Year. At these meetings, the Heads of Security agencies call on the President to offer him their best wishes for the coming year, with the President also using the opportunity to express his appreciation to them for their continued commitment to safeguarding the peace and stability of the nation.

Contrary to the allegations made in the publication on social media, no such discussions about changes to the hierarchy of the Armed Forces were held during the meeting.

It is imperative to note that a change in the leadership of the Armed Forces is embarked upon by the President in accordance with the Constitution and well-established conventions, devoid of any political considerations. Any future change made in this regard will not be a new phenomenon that should warrant unfounded speculations.

The Armed Forces is an important institution of State that has, over the years, built an enviable reputation for its professionalism in the conduct of its duties, both at national and international levels. The Akufo-Addo-led administration shall continue to guard earnestly this reputation by ensuring that partisanship is eschewed from the operations of the Ghana Armed Forces.

The President assures Ghanaians that the 2024 general elections will be conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner, devoid of electoral violence. Entities or persons who will attempt to disrupt the elections will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the country.

In the interest of safeguarding the peace and stability of Ghana, the public is urged to disregard such unfounded speculations and publications aimed at triggering agitations within the rank and file of the Armed Forces.

Work is progressing steadily on the construction of four major by-passes on the Accra-Kumasi highway.

The by-passes; the 11.6Km Osino by-pass, the 6.1 Km Anyinam bypass, the 10.6Km Enyiresi by-pass and the 13.5K Konogo by-pass; are part of the ongoing efforts by the government to dualize the Accra-Kumasi highway to reduce vehicular traffic and accidents as well as enhance the free movement of goods and people.

These were revealed when the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Attah toured the project site on Wednesday, 3 January 2024.
