Dr. Richmond Atuahene, a renowned Banking and Financial Analyst, has emphatically urged the Flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to prioritize agriculture in his 2024 NPP manifesto. Speaking on Think TV's political talk show , "SE NO PEI," Dr. Atuahene stressed that agriculture should be the cornerstone of the Vice President's agenda if he seeks to transform Ghana's economy and uplift the lives of its citizens. "Ghana used to be a significant exporter of agricultural products, but today, we are importing rice at a cost of $1.2 billion and cocoa at $1.3 billion annually" "Meanwhile, countries like Nigeria are growing their own rice, and it's only recently that they started importing. This is a shame," Dr. Atuahene lamented. He argued that if Dr. Bawumia's entire manifesto were centered on agriculture, it would be a significant step toward revitalizing the economy. "A hungry man does not care about digitalization. Agriculture is what will make Ghana's economy bounce back. Prioritize agriculture over digitalization," he asserted, adding that while digitalization is essential, it should not overshadow the critical role of agriculture in national development. Dr. Atuahene called for the development of value chains in agriculture, emphasizing the need to support farmers with incentives and resources to enhance production. "We should make the farmers happy. Incentives should be given to them. Our galamsey lands should be turned into agricultural lands for farming. We are even importing maize. It is a shame." He urged Dr. Bawumia to be serious about agriculture and not just make empty promises. "He has the vision, but he needs to operationalize it and ensure things work. Seek agriculture first, and all other things will be added." On the issue of Affirmative Action, Dr. Atuahene highlighted the importance of pushing more women into higher positions, noting that women and girls are vital to the nation's progress. "In Africa and Ghana, we joke with women. Women suffer but they end up making things go well. We should push more women to reach higher heights." Addressing financial matters, Dr. Atuahene suggested that the Bank of Ghana should develop software to attract fintech businesses, which could reduce reliance on external support such as the IMF. He also touched on the controversial e-levy, noting that while Dr. Bawumia had previously expressed dissatisfaction with the levy, its removal must be carefully considered given the country's debt obligations. Dr. Atuahene concluded by appealing to Dr. Bawumia to ensure that agriculture remains the focal point of his manifesto, as it holds the key to Ghana's economic revival.

Priest Assisting at the St. Andrew Anglican Church, Abossey-Okai, Rev'd Fr. Ken Ashong has challenged church members to reflect on their daily prayer habits. Speaking at the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity in Accra on Sunday, the anointed man of God posed a critical question; 'How much time have you dedicated to pray to the Lord?' Drawing from the biblical encounter between Solomon and God, as narrated in 1 Kings, Rev'd Fr. Ashong emphasized the importance of prayer in the life of a believer. He noted that after King David's death, his son Solomon took over the throne and, like his father, offered sacrifices to the Lord. He stressed that it was during this time that God appeared to Solomon in a dream, asking him what he desired. Fr. Ashong highlighted three key lessons from Solomon's experience. First, he pointed out that God desires us to ask Him for what we need, even though He already knows our requests, as stated in Isaiah 65:24. "God knows our needs, but He wants us to commune with Him through prayer," Fr. Ashong said. Secondly, he stressed the importance of humility in prayer, as demonstrated by Solomon, who acknowledged his limitations and sought wisdom from God to govern his people. "We must admit our limitations and rely on God for strength," Fr. Ashong urged, reminding the congregation that true prayer is rooted in recognizing our own inadequacies. Lastly, Fr. Ashong warned against prayers motivated by material desires or the downfall of others, urging instead for prayers that align with God's will. "God is pleased when our prayers are focused on positive, spiritual growth rather than material gain," he remarked. Rev'd Fr. Ashong called on the congregation to reassess their prayer lives, encouraging them to devote more time to seeking God's guidance and wisdom daily. "May we pray strategically for the Lord to come through for us, just as He did for Solomon," he prayed, invoking the blessings of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, over the weekend, took a subtle swipe at the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, contrasting Mahama's perceived disregard for the intelligence of the Ghanaian people with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's deep respect for the citizenry. President Akufo-Addo made these remarks while speaking at the NPP Manifesto launch held at GSTS, Takoradi in the Western Region over the weekend. He said "This is a man who has respect for the people of Ghana. This is not a man who is going to tell the Ghanaian people that you have short memory," President Akufo-Addo stated, clearly referencing Mahama's controversial "short memory" comment that has lingered in the minds of many Ghanaians. The President's remarks were seen as a sharp criticism of Mahama's leadership style, subtly suggesting that Bawumia's approach, characterized by respect and consideration for the people, stands in stark contrast to the former President's alleged tendency to undermine the intelligence of the electorate. As the political atmosphere heats up ahead of the upcoming elections, Akufo-Addo's comments are likely to fuel further debate about the character and leadership qualities of those vying for the highest offices in the land. The President's endorsement of Bawumia's respectful demeanor may be a strategic move to bolster the Vice President's image while casting doubt on Mahama's suitability to lead the nation once again.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on the Running-mate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, to demonstrate unwavering loyalty if he aspires to be an excellent Vice President, akin to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. President Akufo-Addo made these remarks while speaking at NPP Manifesto launch at GSTS, Takoradi in the Western Region over the weekend. President Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of loyalty in leadership. He praised Vice President Bawumia for his dedication and commitment, which have been instrumental in their administration's success. The President advised Napo that in order to excel in a potential vice-presidential role, he must embody the same level of loyalty and service that Bawumia has consistently shown. "If he has even half of the loyalty that Bawumia has shown to me, he is going to be an excellent Vice President," President Akufo-Addo stated, underscoring the importance of loyalty in leadership. This statement is seen as a significant endorsement of Bawumia's qualities and a clear message to aspiring leaders within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) about the values that are essential for leadership excellence. As the NPP gears up for future elections, loyalty and unity are being highlighted as key attributes for those seeking higher office. Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

At the recently held New Patriotic Party (NPP) Manifesto Launch, the party's Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, unveiled a significant initiative aimed at bolstering sports in Ghana. Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at the Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) in Takoradi over the weekend, Dr. Bawumia pledged to provide each Premier League club in Ghana with a brand-new bus if he is elected President in the upcoming 2024 elections. This announcement has sparked widespread excitement and discussions within the football community, as it marks a potential game-changer for the country's top-flight football clubs. The provision of buses, a critical logistical support often lacking in the Ghana Premier League, would alleviate the transportation challenges faced by many clubs, especially those operating with limited resources. Dr. Bawumia emphasized that this promise is part of a broader strategy to elevate the standard of sports in Ghana. He acknowledged the vital role that football plays in uniting Ghanaians and fostering national pride. According to the NPP Flagbearer, ensuring that clubs are well-equipped and supported is essential to unlocking the full potential of Ghanaian football on both domestic and international stages. "Football is not just a sport in Ghana; it’s a passion that binds us together as a nation. We must ensure that our clubs, the very bedrock of this sport, are given the necessary tools to thrive. By providing every Premier League club with a bus, we are not only easing their logistical challenges but also empowering them to focus more on developing their talents and achieving excellence," Dr. Bawumia stated. The prospect of receiving new buses has been met with optimism by various stakeholders in the football fraternity. For many clubs, the cost of transportation for away games is a significant financial burden. The potential relief offered by this promise could enhance the competitive balance in the league, as all clubs, regardless of their financial strength, would have reliable transportation. Football analysts have also noted that this move could improve the overall experience for players, coaches, and fans alike. Teams would be able to travel more comfortably and punctually, which could positively affect their performance on the field. Additionally, the initiative aligns with the NPP’s broader agenda of infrastructural development and support for local industries, as the buses would likely be sourced from Ghanaian manufacturers, creating jobs and supporting the local economy. This is not the first time Dr. Bawumia has made commitments to the sports sector. Over the years, he has been an advocate for using sports as a tool for national development, often highlighting the potential of sports to contribute to economic growth and youth empowerment. His latest promise is seen as a continuation of this vision, with a clear focus on practical interventions that directly impact the lives of those involved in sports. As the 2024 elections approach, Dr. Bawumia’s promise is likely to resonate with many voters, especially within the sports community. It remains to be seen how this pledge will influence the overall political landscape, but it is clear that the NPP Flagbearer is positioning himself as a champion of sports development in Ghana. The pledge to provide buses to Premier League clubs adds another layer to the already competitive race for the presidency, and the coming months will reveal how this and other promises will shape the discourse leading up to the elections. Football fans and stakeholders across the country will undoubtedly be watching closely as they consider the potential impact of this promise on the future of Ghanaian football Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s commitment to supporting Premier League clubs with new buses, if elected, has set the stage for an engaging dialogue on sports development in Ghana. His promise underscores the importance of practical support for the growth of football in the country, positioning him as a candidate with a keen interest in advancing Ghana’s sports sector. As the campaign season unfolds, this pledge is sure to be a focal point in discussions about the future of football and sports infrastructure in Ghana. Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

Raymond Edem Tamakloe, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team, has emphasized that former President John Dramani Mahama should be recognized as a nation builder rather than merely a problem fixer . Speaking on Think Tv's political talk show, SE NO PEI, Mr. Tamakloe argued that Mahama’s leadership transcended the immediate challenges he inherited, showcasing a visionary approach that laid the foundation for long-term national development. “When you elect someone into the office of leadership, the expectation is that they will rise to the occasion, finding solutions to the problems that arise, no matter how unexpected. Leadership is not about offering excuses or claiming unpreparedness; it’s about innovatively addressing the challenges at hand,” Tamakloe stated. He reflected on the challenges Mahama faced during his presidency, particularly the power crisis known as "Dumsor." Mr. Tamakloe acknowledged that dumsor was a longstanding issue that predated Mahama’s tenure, even persisting during Former President Kufuor’s administration. He pointed out that Former President Kufuor's government approach involved assembling pastors to pray at Akosombo, a solution that did little to resolve the underlying issues. “In contrast, when President Mahama came into office, he committed to finding a long-lasting solution to the power crisis. He didn’t just promise; he delivered. He invested massively in the energy sector, bringing in Karpowerships, the Ameri Plant, and, crucially, developing the Atuabo Gas Plant" "This plant alone generates revenue of around 300 million dollars annually. Mahama’s approach wasn’t just about fixing Dumsor; it was about strengthening the nation’s energy infrastructure for the future,” Tamakloe emphasized. Mr. Tamakloe also highlighted the economic challenges Mahama faced, particularly the plummeting prices of Ghana’s key exports—gold, cocoa, and oil—on the international market. These exogenous factors severely impacted the nation’s revenue, slashing expected incomes in half. Yet, according to Tamakloe, Mahama did not shy away from these challenges. He didn’t return to the Ghanaian people with excuses or scaled-back promises. Instead, he sought innovative solutions to mitigate the impact of these economic downturns. “Despite these financial constraints, President Mahama’s administration made significant investments in infrastructure. He didn’t just focus on immediate fixes but worked towards building a robust foundation for future development" "The infrastructural projects initiated during his tenure were unprecedented in scale and impact,” Tamakloe noted. He went on to argue that Mahama’s legacy should be viewed through the lens of nation-building. His efforts were not just about addressing the crises of the moment but about laying the groundwork for sustained national growth. According to Tamakloe, Mahama’s leadership demonstrated a commitment to the long-term development of Ghana, ensuring that future generations would benefit from the infrastructure and systems he put in place. “John Dramani Mahama is not just a fixer; he is a nation builder. His vision extended beyond solving immediate problems" "He worked tirelessly to position Ghana on a path of sustained progress, and that is the hallmark of true leadership,” Tamakloe concluded. This narrative underscores Mahama’s role as a transformative leader, whose contributions to Ghana’s development went beyond temporary solutions, focusing instead on building a stronger, more resilient nation.

Raymond Edem Tamakloe, a member of the NDC Communications Team, has voiced strong support for the betting industry, arguing that it offers a more constructive alternative to criminal activities amidst Ghana's high unemployment rate s. Speaking on Think Tv's political talk show, SE NO PEI , Mr. Tamakloe addressed concerns over the morality and legality of betting, emphasizing its role as a preferable option compared to criminal behavior. He argued that with unemployment in Ghana reaching 14.7%, there is a pressing need to consider the benefits of alternative forms of economic engagement for the youth. “Instead of engaging in illicit activities, it is far better for young people to participate in the betting industry,” Tamakloe stated. “The government’s justification for regulating betting as a preventive measure against terrorism and criminality overlooks a critical aspect: betting provides a legitimate means of income for many young Ghanaians.” Mr. Tamakloe highlighted a credible correlation between high unemployment rates and increased crime, noting that unemployed youth often resort to social vices as a survival mechanism. He asserted that betting, despite its controversies, serves as a productive avenue for economic participation. “The argument that betting should be curtailed for moral reasons is flawed,” Tamakloe continued. “In reality, it is a less harmful alternative compared to engaging in criminal activities" "Furthermore, the government itself benefits financially from the betting industry through taxation. This raises questions about the morality of opposing an industry that contributes to national revenue while providing employment opportunities.” He emphasized that while there are valid concerns about the potential negative aspects of betting, the industry’s role in offering legitimate financial opportunities cannot be ignored. “We must weigh the options carefully,” Tamakloe concluded. “Betting is not a crime, and it should be seen as a viable alternative to criminal behavior, which ultimately poses a greater threat to national security and social stability.” Mr. Tamakloe’s comments underscore a growing debate on the role of the betting industry in Ghana, highlighting the need for balanced perspectives on its impact on society and the economy.

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed strong disapproval of the Opposition National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) recent stance on the peace declaration accord for the upcoming 2024 general elections. The NPP has labeled the NDC’s position as “unfortunate” and “incendiary,” raising concerns about the potential impact on national stability. This development follows a controversial statement made by the NDC National Chairman, Asiedu Nketiah, while speaking on an Accra-based television station. Mr. Nketiah announced that the NDC would not sign the peace declaration, a customary accord aimed at ensuring peaceful elections in Ghana. His remarks have since ignited a wave of outrage, with the NPP accusing the NDC of "beating the drums of war" and priming their supporters to reject the outcome of the forthcoming elections. In a statement issued by Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the NPP, the party expressed its deep concern over Nketiah’s comments, condemning them for their “worrying and incendiary nature.” “The NPP finds the comment by the NDC National Chairman very unfortunate and condemns it in no uncertain terms, given the worrying and incendiary nature of the statement,” Frimpong stated. Frimpong further emphasized the NPP’s commitment to upholding peace and stability in the lead-up to, during, and after the 2024 elections, urging the NDC to reconsider its position. “We wish to reiterate our firm assurance to Ghanaians that the NPP remains solemnly committed, in words and in deeds, to maintaining the peace and stability of this country… and will accept its outcome in good faith,” he added. J. K. Frimpong highlighted the NPP’s history of honoring the peace accord, even during periods of electoral disputes. He pointed out that since 2008, the NPP has consistently signed the peace declaration, both as the governing party and as the opposition, even when it had reservations about the electoral process. “The NPP has a history of committing to the peace accord, even when they have had concerns about the electoral process. Since 2008, the NPP has always committed to signing the Peace Accord, either in government or opposition… despite challenging the outcome of the 2012 general elections results in court,” Frimpong noted. In light of the NDC’s current stance, the NPP has called on key stakeholders, including the National Peace Council, Civil Society Organizations, Religious and Traditional Authorities, and all well-meaning Ghanaians, to join in condemning the NDC’s decision. The NPP urged the NDC to use appropriate legal and democratic channels to address any grievances they may have regarding the election process. Asiedu Nketiah’s statement has cast doubts on the NDC’s commitment to the peace and stability of the nation, with critics questioning the party’s true intentions. Lawyer Frimpong underscored the inconsistency of the NDC’s actions, noting that despite their refusal to sign the peace declaration, the party continues to participate in other peace-building forums. “Ironically, despite the NDC’s stated stance, they continue to be represented at the Peace Council, IPAC, and national Security meetings. Why are they unable to maintain a principled stance to the peace and stability of Ghana?” Frimpong queried. Nevertheless, the NPP sought to reassure Ghanaians that the country would not be plunged into chaos regardless of the election outcome. The party affirmed that Ghana’s peace-loving nature and the will of the people would prevail. “Ghanaians are peace-loving people, and by the grace of God, Ghana will not experience any war… The will of the Ghanaians will always prevail,” the statement concluded.

The Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute has revealed ambitious plans to launch a rocket into space, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s scientific and technological advancement. This announcement, made during the 2024 International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly in Cape Town, South Africa, highlights Ghana’s aspirations to join the global space exploration community. However, the institute acknowledged that realizing this goal will require substantial investments and strategic partnerships with other member states of the IAU. The 2024 IAU General Assembly, a historic event for Africa, is being held on the continent for the first time in the Union’s 105-year history. This gathering is a landmark moment for both the IAU and South Africa, underscoring the region's growing influence in the field of astronomy. The IAU General Assembly is the world’s largest platform for astronomers, scientists, and researchers to discuss the latest advancements in astronomical research and foster international collaboration. This year’s event has attracted over 2,000 experts from 82 countries, positioning Cape Town as a vital hub for scientific discourse and innovation. Speaking to JoyNews’ Blessed Sogah at the sidelines of the event, Dr. Naomi Asabre Frimpong, a Research Scientist at the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute, shared insights into Ghana’s space ambitions. “Ghana does plan to go to space,” she confirmed. “However, we will need a lot of investment in space technology, in space engineering communication, and research because our infrastructure right now does not support going to space as far as the international space station.” Addressing concerns about Ghana’s technological capabilities, particularly in satellite technology, Dr. Naomi expressed confidence in the country’s potential. “Ghanaians are really brilliant; we have a lot of potential and are able to achieve a lot with the limited infrastructure we have,” she noted. She emphasized the importance of government support, public backing, and enhanced research facilities to enable Ghana to make significant contributions to the international scientific community. “We should not underestimate our scientists. We can achieve more with additional support,” she added. The 2024 IAU General Assembly, hosted by South Africa, also presents an opportunity for collaboration between African nations. South Africa, which has positioned itself as a leader in global astronomy, has expressed its readiness to partner with countries like Ghana to bolster their contributions to the global astronomy community. Thoko Modise, General Manager for Communications at Brand South Africa, the official marketing agency of South Africa, expressed excitement about the collaboration. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the International Astronomical Union for the 2024 General Assembly,” she said. “Hosting this prestigious event in Cape Town not only highlights South Africa’s role as a significant player in the global astronomy community but also reflects our commitment to supporting international collaboration and innovation.” The assembly serves as a platform for South African scientists to showcase advancements in astronomy, particularly through their involvement in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project. This ambitious international effort aims to construct the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope, with components located in South Africa’s Karoo desert and Western Australia’s Murchison region. The SKA project is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe, offering unprecedented insights through its scale and sensitivity. Presentations at the assembly will cover a wide range of topics, including the impact of the James Webb Space Telescope on our understanding of the universe, innovative techniques for discovering exoplanets, initiatives to combat light pollution, and the role of astronomy in global development. The event will also feature prominent figures in the field, including Dr. Sian Proctor, the first African American woman to pilot a spacecraft on the all-civilian Inspiration4 mission, and Dr. Brian Schmidt, the 2011 Nobel Prize winner in Physics for his work on the accelerating expansion of the universe. Public events will include appearances by Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space, and a live radio link with the International Space Station involving ten Cape Town learners and NASA astronaut Sunitha Williams. As Ghana looks towards the stars, the nation’s space ambitions symbolize a bold step forward in its scientific journey, with hopes of contributing meaningfully to the global astronomical community.
