Hoax projects further deepen wounds of "skirt and blouse" Sekyere Kumawu DCE

 


A/R Press Statement By Youth Caucus of NPP Sekyere Kumawu District

Hoax projects further deepen wounds of "skirt and blouse" Sekyere Kumawu DCE.


Some aggrieved ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) members, sympathizers and citizens of Sekyere Kumawu district in Ashanti region of Ghana who called its self, "Youth Caucus of NPP Sekyere Kumawu" are calling for the removal of their district chief executive (DCE), Samuel Addai Agyekum, for having "woefully failed" as a government representative.

Dazed by revelations of his pro-opposition acts that cost the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) unprecedented number of votes in the December 07, 2020 general elections, district chief executive (DCE) for Sekyere Kumawu in Ashanti region of Ghana, Samuel Addai Agyekum, has further irritated the good people of the NPP stronghold with his trumpeting of nonexistent completed projects.

With 95% of the assembly's share of the District Assembly Common Fund going to the office of the DCE, the discerning masses in the district feel disappointed by the eyesore state of the principal streets of the district capital, Kumawu, the historic Bodomase market, the armed robbers threatened traders, and the various electoral areas that have kept faith with the NPP from time immemorial.

"So can't the media houses hosting him to trumpet lies come and see the reality on the ground? So who awarded this disloyal DCE as we saw in a newspaper? My goodness! What do you want to tell an over sixty-year market woman who was raped on the road by an armed robber whereas DCE Agyekum dismisses our heartbreaking accounts? Why do we have an enemy within this DCE? What have we done to deserve these, Nana Addo? Please, put your eyes and ears on the ground before the district deteriorates? Journalists, come again on Friday to see the plight of market women who have rallied behind the NPP candidates to retain power," dejected traders to the media Sunday afternoon.

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...
