Rev Manu Commends New NDC Government's Fresh Approach to National Challenges Rev. Isaac Manu, Leader of the Presidential Watchtower and Member of Assin North Communication Team has penned a statement acknowledging the new approach by the NDC Government, led by President Mahama, in tackling Ghana's pressing issues, including the fight against illegal mining, also known as galamsey. According to Rev. Manu, the NDC Government has made a 120-day contract with Ghanaians, and it is essential to measure their progress without disruptions. He emphasized that the previous NPP Government's approach to combating galamsey was ineffective and even exacerbated the problem, necessitating a declaration of a state of emergency. In contrast, the NDC Administration has adopted a different strategy to address the issue, which Rev. Manu believes will yield better results. He stressed that the galamsey fight requires a comprehensive government machinery approach and that more actions will be tak...

  NPP 2024 Elections Defeat: Assin Central Presented A Weak Parliamentary Candidate ...Constituents Reveals. The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) staggering defeat in the 2024 general election has prompted a nationwide introspection, as the party seeks to understand the underlying causes of its loss.

The majority of those interviewed attributed the loss to the  unappealing posture of the 2024 NPP candidate for Assin Central, Godfred Nti Anewu, who struggled ...

Give our loyal members the first opportunity in all sectors, recognizing their dedication and hard work without compr...
