Twifo Atti-Morkwa District: "One Hot Meal" Turns Two Per A Day At Twifo Kayireku-Ashire


Twifo Atti-Morkwa District: "One Hot Meal" Turns Two Per A Day At Twifo Kayireku-Ashire


Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his 15th briefing on the covid-19 pandemic on August 16, disclosed that the final year students who are preparing to write their exit examination including the teaching staff would be given one hot meal a day from 24th August, 2020. 


The story is conspicuously different in the Kayireku-Ashire electoral area in the Twifo Atti-morkwa district of the central region. There are five Junior High Schools in the electoral area which include Kayireku D/A JHS, Nkohunuho D/A JHS, Dorkordorkor Victory preparatory school, Otukrom D/A JHS and Ashire D/A JHS respectively. 


Except for Kayireku D/A JHS which enjoyed the full fulfilment of the President's promise, the other four schools did not receive their share of the one hot meal on the day one of the implementation.


However, all the five schools in the electoral area have been graciously receiving two hot meals on daily basis since the Wednesday 26th of August. 


Two matrons have been appointed to prepare and supply the food to the various schools in the area whereby each of them has been assigned to a particular jurisdiction but the compliance has been the shortcoming.


The two matrons are madam Christiana Asamoah who is assigned to prepare and supply food to the schools without the school feeding programme in the kayireku-Ashire electoral area and madam Angelina Nyarkoah, the zonal school feeding programme coordinator doubles as the Twifo Attimorkwa constituency women organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who is also assigned to prepare and supply food to the schools with the feeding programme but she has chosen to serve both jurisdictions.

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...

AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
