Assin Akropong Youth Association Rubbishes Fraud Allegations By Constituency Chairman

The leadership of a vibrant socio-developmental group at Assin Akropong in the Assin Central Constituency of the Central Region called Assin Akropong Youth Association, has dismissed claims by Mr. Attakora Amaniampong the Assin Central Constituency NPP Chairman who is allegedly to be the campaign manager for one of the Npp parliamentary Aspirants (Obed Kumi Awuah) that, the project coordinator for Assin Akropong Youth Association Mr Frank Asante has initiated a fraudulent agenda to extort money from the market women in Assin Akropong in the name of commissioning an abandoned market center in the aforementioned town.

Mr. Attakora in an interview on Assin Fosu based radio station Nap fm, boldly said, Mr Frank Asante is a fraudster and a corrupt being who has managed to influenced the market women in Assin Akropong to pay an amount of ¢200.00 each to be used to commission the market built by Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) in the town, and so therefore called on anyone who has paid any amount to go for his or her money.

According to Mr Attakora, the Association has no power/right to carry out such activity because the market was built by Hon. Ken.

But the association in a statement debunked the allegations.

According to the statement, the Association was only trying to help the petty traders in the town to have a place to undertake their business and since the said place has been abandoned for so many years and some parts needed to be renovated.

The Association has taken upon itself to offer free cements and sum amount of money to foster that exercise but never asked any beneficiary to pay any amount.

It said, the Association did not charge anyone to pay such an amount nor has taken anything from anyone as alleged by the chairman.

It therefore called on Mr Attakora Amaniampong, the Assin Central Constituency NPP Chairman to come out with an immediate effect to retract or else the battle line will be drawn between the Association and him (Mr Attakora) and his alleged favorite Candidate Obed.

Long live AYA.....

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. 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 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...
