CLAAG THREATENED MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION OVER ALLEGED MISMANAGEMENT AT NLA. The Concerned Lotto Agents Association of Ghana(CLAAG) has threatened to shake the country with massive demonstration across the country. According to CLAAG, NLA demanded a whooping sum of One Million Ghana Cedis from private lotto operators as registration and licensing fees in a so called Banker to Banker regularization and most of these operators have indeed paid the said fees since April 2018 and are yet to be licensed which NLA promised has failed. The Executive Secretary for CLAAG, Mr. Kwaku Duah Tawiah said, the only way to get government to put a searchlight on the National Lotto Authority (NLA) and its current mismanagement and poor leadership is to demonstrate against the government for not fulfilling its promised.

My attention has been drawn to a false story circulating in social media regarding an allegation made by Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, that *I am a thief for awarding 50 road contracts to myself.*  This news didn't come to me as a surprise because Mr. Kennedy Agyapong wanted his friend to become the regional Minister which he was refused. I wish to categorically state that  since I took over as a regional Minister, the region has not received a road contract more than 30 which he Mr. Kennedy Agyapong is a living testimony. I would want to state with no equivocation that I have not awarded any road contracts to myself as Mr. Kennedy Agyapong has alleged. However, it is Mr. Kennedy Agyapong who is always in the media to threaten our Party leaders for contracts. Mr. Kennedy Agyapong started these allegations when Prof. Kenneth Agyemang Attafuah (The Ag. Executive Secretary of the National Identification A

NO Automatic Replacement for Akufo-Addo-CVM Replies Sir John. According to the opinion of the former General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John, "apart from Veep Dr. Bawumia, any member of the Party who has the ambition of becoming Flagbearer after Akufo-Addo's 8-year reign should jettison that aspiration." It is very important to point out to Sir John that, the New Patriotic Party is not an autocratic and self-imposition Political Party. NPP is a democratic Political Party with the tradition of long term commitment, loyalty and dedication. Sir John must learn how to talk especially in public as a matured politician. It is too early to bring this automatic Bawumia's agenda. If other Party's Members of good standing start similar agendas, it will divide the Party's front and subsequently affect Victory 2020 for President Akufo-Addo and the NPP. Between now and 2023, any  agenda apart from Akufo-Add
