CVM Urges Government to Lift Ban on Churches

The President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo has done tremendously well in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

A lot of measures have been put in place to curtail the spread of the Coronavirus including a ban on Public and Social gatherings for religious activities, funerals, Schools, marriage ceremonies etc.

However, we are appealing to President Akufo-Addo to lift the ban on Public and Social Gatherings. Over reliance on Science and Medical Experts in dealing with the COVID-19 would not help matters. Science and Medical Experts have their own limitations and deficiencies.

The prolonged ban on Public and Social gatherings would have dire consequences on the other Sectors of the Economy, creating unnecessary fear and panic for the population thereby delaying the socio-economic progress of the country

Life needs to return to normalcy in Ghana. Churches need to re-open with strict adherence to safety protocols. The hospitals, schools and other facilities established by the Christian Community are largely financed by the Churches themselves. Therefore Prolonged ban on the Churches would have a very serious repercussions for the Christian Community.

Malaria, Accidents and other infectious diseases killed us more than this COVID-19, so why all these unnecessary worries?

Ghana's demographics is totally different from the Western World and Glory be to God our Positivity and Death Rates are very low compared to that of Europe and America. Let's adopt an innovative approach to sensitize and protect the aged and those with underlying health issues since most of the deaths recorded under Ghana's COVID-19 are from this bracket of the population.

We are respectfully urging the Government to lift the ban on Public and Social Gatherings so that collectively and individually we can overcome the fear, panic and psychological warfare created by this COVID-19.

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...
