Assin Akropong Market Committee Vindicate Frank Asante Over Constituency Chairman's Fraud Allegations

The Committee running affairs of the market has been notified of a circulating news which we see as a serious allegation and a complete defamation.

It has come to our notice that Mr. Attakora Amaniampong, the Assin Central Constituency Chairman (NPP) in an interview on Nap Fm at Assin Fosu audaciously said Mr Frank Asante who happens to be the project coordinator for Assin Akropong Youth Association is a fraudster and that he and his counterparts are extorting an amount of two hundred cedis (200.00 cedis) from the market women which is a false allegation.

We want to make it clear to Mr. Attakora Amaniampong that, Assin Akropong Youth Association is not the same as Akotiman and Frank Asante is also not part of the committee and therefore not close to our finances.

Finally the Assin Akropong Youth Association is only pushing the agenda for the market to function properly and they have donated an amount of fifteen thousand Ghana cedis (¢15,000.00) which was disbursed as such to build a urinal for the market, renovate the market including the painting of the place, printed T-shirts which was shared for some of the market women and others will respectively receive theirs during the up coming occasion.

Mr Attakora also, stated that the market was built by honourable Kennedy Agyapong, the Assin Central Member of Parliament and we are failing to acknowledge his initiative which is surprising and the Assin Akropong Youth Association are taking the glory for the work they have not done.

He added that, they are campaigning for the market to be opened without the consent of the Assembly which is a blatant lie because the market committee consist of Assembly members and the association is working in collaboration with the Assembly before any decision is taken.

To our best of knowledge, the Assin Akropong Youth Association is a vibrant group contributing immensely to the development of Akropong and they are going extra mile to make life better in terms of socio-economic development for the natives and we appreciate them a lot for their initiatives.

We will therefore, not tolerate these unnecessary allegations which would retrogress development because tarnishing the people's image will not encourage them to continue to assist in the diverse way they are helping as patriotic citizens. Hence, we call on Mr Attakora, Assin Central Constituency Chairman (NPP) to retract his statements and apologize for defamation else, a drastic action would be taken against him.

Signed

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...
