*Otumfuo and NLA Collaborate to Raise Funds to Support Development of Asanteman

Otumfuo and NLA Collaborate to Raise Funds to Support Development  of Asanteman


The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in collaboration with the National Lottery Authority (NLA) is set to organize Otumfuo Lottery Game in the form of Raffles and Scratch Cards to raise funds to support the various socio-economic development initiatives in the Ashanti Kingdom.


A Working Committee has been put in place to ensure the successful implementation of the Otumfuo Lottery Game. 


Soon the Working Committee together with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Board and Management of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) will officially launch the Otumfuo Lottery Game in Kumasi. The terms, conditions and modalities of the Otumfuo Lottery Game will also be announced by the Working Committee.


The expansion of the socio-economic development of Asanteman culminated in the establishment of the Otumfuo Charity Foundation. The Charity Foundation seeks to improve on the lives of Ghanaians through the implementation of the values, vision and ideas of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.


The Otumfuo Lottery Game is aimed at raising substantial funds to support the Otumfuo Charity Foundation to undertake development initiatives in the area of:

1. Infrastructure


2. Education especially the Otumfuo Mobile Learning Project (OMLP) which served as a stopgap measure in providing access to the less fortunate children in deprived communities and rural areas across Ghana.


3. Quality Healthcare Delivery


4. Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage.


The Asante Monarch has also fully embraced the laudable NLA-Private Sector led Solar-powered E-kiosk Project. The E-kiosk Concept will be implemented in all the Electoral Areas, Districts and Polling Stations in the Ashanti Kingdom hopefully by the end of this year.


The Solar-powered E-kiosks will create jobs for the people of Asanteman, improve accessibility to Internet Connectivity, and with the help of the Solar give light to the people in the Ashanti Kingdom, thereby reducing the pressure on the national grid.


The National Lottery Authority (NLA) is fully committed to contributing its quota to the  socio-economic development and sustenance of Ghana and Asanteman. The master key to the development of Asanteman and Ghana is the more creative and innovative Solar-powered E-kiosks.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP. In res...

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah

  Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah The Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and renowned economist, Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, has cautioned the government to exercise restraint in addressing illegal mining activities, popularly known as "galamsey." Dr. Mensah warned that hasty actions, driven by calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), could lead to substantial judgement debts. "Many Ghanaians are advocating for drastic measures, including 'shoot and kill' operations and burning excavators at galamsey sites, under the guise of executive directives, which lack legal backing," Dr. Mensah said. While acknowledging the need to stop illegal mining, Dr. Mensah emphasized that such actions must be grounded in law to achieve their intended purpose. "The government must not forget that foreign and local mining firms with prospective mining licenses from the Ministry o...
