One Million Dollar Per Constituency Not Meant To Put Money On The Table Of MMDCEs.... Twifo Ati-Morkwa DCE

In line with the mandate of Coastal Development Authority (CODA) to alleviate poverty and empower the vulnerable in society, CODA has completed a well furnished six-unit class room block at Twifo Morkwa (Morkwa basic school) in the Twifo Ati-Morkwa District of the Central Region.

The project is being funded through the one-million-dollar one constituency program through the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP) under the Ministry of Special Development Initiatives (MSDI).

During a mini ceremony to Commission the project, the District Chief Executive of Twifo Ati-Morkwa Hon. Robert Agyemang Nyantakyi said the initiative was not meant to put money on the table of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies but to enable them to benefit in the form of developmental projects.

Hon Nyantakyi cited a 1,000 metric tonnes warehouse located in the district, CHPS Compounds, a number of mechanize boreholes across the District and ongoing and completed markets centres in District, schools among others as some projects that have been funded from the initiative.

The DCE addressing the media thanked the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his continuous support for the people of Ghana. He explained that through the one-million-dollar one constituency initiative, the Twifo Ati-Morkwa Constituency has benefited their share of the national cake. He also thanked the Chiefs and people for honoring the invitation and also expressed his satisfaction for their unending support towards all developmental projects within the District.

Addressing the chiefs and people of the Twifo Morkwa, the CEO of CODA, Lawyer Jerry Ahmed Shaib said the President in 2016 promised Ghanaians that when he is voted into office, he will allocate one million dollars per constituency to help in socio-economic development in every constituency in the country. According to him, the President has fulfilled his promise by bringing development to the doorstep of the people.

He affirmed that several developmental projects has been undertaken by CODA including an astroturfs, classroom blocks, market centres, mechanize boreholes, roads among others across the country.

He finally thanked the chiefs and people for their support and prayed that they will ensure that they will keep supporting the good works in order to bring development to people. He also thanked the media for their collaboration and advised them to be circumspect with their reportage since some propagandist wants to make one million dollar per constituency initiative unpopular.

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.

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...
