- The Original “Kume Preko” Demo And The Reloaded: The Return Of 1995
The famous "Kume Preko," to wit, "You may as well kill me now" demonstration in 1995 was and is still described as the biggest ever to have been witnessed by any "non-performing" government in history. The protest has been replicated by a section of Ghanaians, led by Mr. Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, today, Saturday, November 5, 2022. Then vibrant, outspoken, and fearless Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, now President of the Republic, together with his other frontiers—Dr Charles Wreko Brobbey, Kwesi Kwaku Baako, Akoto Ampaw, Victor Newman, Kwaku Opoku, Napoleon Abdulai, Pratt Jnr., Dr Nayarko Tamakloe, and Abdul Malik coined the 1995 protest. Reportedly joined by some 100,000 Ghanaians on some streets of Accra, the anti-government demonstration was mainly to protest the Value Added Tax (VAT) initiative, which was introduced under the Jerry John Rawlings administration. Reports also have it that that period was a period in which several hardworking citizens could not afford one decent meal a day. It was also said to be one of the most notorious periods of corruption in Ghana’s history, along with the late President Rawlings's dictatorial rule. Many have likened the 1995 experience to President Nana Akufo-Addo’s regime as taxes such as the electronic transaction levy (E-Levy) and petroleum taxes introduced by government have been pinching Ghanaians deep in pains.S Situations such as the frequent depreciation of the cedi, the frequent rises in food prices, general inflation rates, and hikes in the prices of commodities have inflicted so many hardships on the citizens. Some citizens have lamented of not being able to afford three square meals a day, similar to the situation in 1995. Also, the protesters claim the President has been a dictator as he has refused to sack his Finance Minister, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, whom many, including NPP MPs, believe has failed. The protesters demand the resignation of President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo and his Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, for a new government to be instituted to lead them out of the current economic quagmire. The reloaded protesters held placards that read "impeach the president," "boo the president," "we voted for service, not opulence," "greedy bofrot," "Cedi devaluation = Agyapa deal," "fly out on a luxury jet, as usual, and never return; go into exile," "enough of the lies and deception," and several others.

- 'Kume Preko Demo Reloaded' Slated For November 5
Private Legal Practitioner, Lawyer Martin Kpebu has called on Ghanaians to join the ‘Kume Preko Demo Reloaded’ to mount pressure on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to resign. Addressing a press conference in Accra on Friday, November 4, the Lawyer who has now taken up activism said it is necessary for the President to leave office after plunging the country into an economic crisis. “Because of reckless borrowing and other forms of misgovernance by President Akufo-Addo we are dying. Citizens are dying, citizens cannot afford food, citizens are starving all because of misgovernance by President Akufo-Addo" “It’s never happened that you will have a president in office and every time that the country borrows the president’s family becomes richer. How? This can’t continue. Ghana doesn’t belong to President Akufo-Addo’s family, we can’t borrow all the time and have Data Bank becoming richer all the time. The country becomes poorer and Data bank becomes richer. This is sufficient for President Akufo-Addo to resign,” Lawyer Martin Kpebu told the media. The private legal practitioner continued, “Based on Article 35 of our Constitution which asks for probity, and accountability, citizens have a duty as stated in Article 41 to ask the president to resign" “Where we are as at how the situation is so dire that the best thing is for President Akufo-Addo to take responsibility and resign with his Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.” Lawyer Kpebu will on Saturday, November 5, lead his 'Kume Preko demo Reloaded’ in Accra.

- Food And Agric Minister Unveils Plans By Ministry To Sell Foodstuffs At Cheaper Prices In Accra
The Food and Agric Ministry has unveiled plans to help deal with the rising cost of foodstuffs in the capital city and beyond. According to the Minister, Dr Owusu Akoto Afriyie, the ministry will begin selling the foodstuffs within its premises to serve the public. Interacting with farmers in Sefwi Wiawso in the Western North Region, Dr Akoto Afriyie said the ministry is taking the initiative of making life easy for the ordinary Ghanaian. Explaining further, he said the ministry would link up directly with the farm gate to reduce the price build-up on the items. He said the relevant arrangements had been put in place to ensure the setting up of kiosks on compounds at the ministry to receive and sell the food to the general public. The intervention of the ministry follows an almost weekly and sometimes daily increment of prices of foodstuffs contributing to the food inflation for September 2022, hovering around 37.8 per cent. President Akufo-Addo And Agric Minister Descend Heavily On 'Greedy' Ghanaian Traders Ghanaians have been left lamenting the resultant hardships in the country, which has led to the Minister describing the traders as greedy. In his Sunday night televised address to the country, President Nana Akufo-Addo also appealed to traders to be measured in the profit margins they seek on their goods. He said traders who slap huge margins on the prices of their goods end up doing the nation a great disservice. Source: YEN.com.gh
- At Least 42 Killed As Storm Lashes Southern Philippines
Landslides and flooding killed at least 42 people as heavy rain from an approaching storm lashed the southern Philippines, a disaster official said Friday. The storm unleashed flash floods carrying uprooted trees, rocks and mud overnight in nine mostly rural towns around Cotabato, a city of 300,000 people on Mindanao island. Many residents were caught by surprise as floodwaters rose rapidly before dawn, Naguib Sinarimbo, the spokesman and civil defence chief for the regional government, told AFP. Sinarimbo said 27 died in the town of Datu Odin Sinsuat, including 11 from a mountain village buried in mud, while 10 died in Datu Blah Sinsuat town and five were killed in Upi town. Teams in rubber boats had rescued residents from rooftops in some towns, Sinarimbo said, adding that 16 people were missing in the region. In recent years, flash floods with mud and debris from largely deforested mountainsides have been among the deadliest hazards posed by typhoons on Philippine communities. Mindanao is rarely hit by the 20 or so typhoons that strike the Philippines each year and kill hundreds of people. But those that do tend to be deadlier than those that hit Luzon, the main island. A long mountain range walls off most of Luzon from the Pacific, where most storms are spawned, helping to absorb the blow, the state weather service said. Local filmmaker Remar Pablo told AFP he was shooting a beauty pageant in Upi when the floodwaters suddenly came in after midnight and forced audience members to flee. A row of cars sat half-submerged on the street outside, his clips showed.“We were stranded inside,” said Pablo, who eventually waded through the water to get home. Rescuers carried a baby in a plastic tub as they navigated chest-deep water, a photo posted by the provincial police showed.– ‘It was a shock’ –Floodwaters have receded in several areas, but Cotabato remained almost entirely waterlogged. Sinarimbo said there could be more flooding over the next few hours because of heavy rain over mountains surrounding the Cotabato river basin. “Our focus at this time is rescue as well as setting up community kitchens for the survivors,” he said. The army deployed its trucks to collect stranded residents in Cotabato and nearby towns, provincial civil defence chief Nasrullah Imam said. "It was a shock to see municipalities which had never flooded getting hit this time,” Imam said, adding that some families were swept away when the waters hit their homes. The heavy rainfall began late Thursday in the impoverished region, which is under Muslim self-rule after decades of separatist armed rebellion. The state weather office in Manila said the downpours were partly caused by Tropical Storm Nalgae, which it expects to strengthen at landfall overnight Friday. Nalgae was heading northwest with maximum winds of 85 kilometres (53 miles) an hour and could hit Samar island late Friday or the Bicol peninsula on the southern tip of Luzon early Saturday. Nearly 5,000 people were evacuated from flood- and landslide-prone communities in these areas, the civil defence office said. The coast guard also suspended ferry services in much of the archipelago nation where tens of thousands of people board boats each day. Scientists have warned that storms, which also kill livestock and destroy farms, houses, roads and bridges, are becoming more powerful as the world gets warmer because of climate change. Credit: AFP
- A.M.A Sanitation Task Force Arrests 16 People In Okaikoi South For Open Defecation
Public Health Officers from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) have arrested sixteen (16) persons for defecating in the open. The 16 persons were arrested during the early hours of Wednesday, when the Sanitation Task Force of the Assembly, led by Environmental Health Officers embarked on a special operation within the Okaikoi South Sub-Metropolitan District as part of continuing efforts to curb open defecation in the metropolis to ensure a clean and hygienic environment. They are Annan Tackie, Prince Nana Addo, Kwesi Agyei, Vincent Kumakpata, Kwame Eric, Shadrack Compaore, Atta Sackey, Kwaku Samuel, James Akumeah, Atta Kwei, Joseph Anele, Albert Makole, Kwaku Owusu Oduro, David Amoak, Amorbiri Ayariga and Osman Abubakari. Head of Public Affairs, Gilbert Nii Ankrah in an interview with the media said the culprits were either arrested for defecating in the open or dumping faecal matter into drains adding that they would be given the option to pay a spot fine and cautioned to refrain from such practices or face prosecution. He noted that as the Assembly was working assiduously to declare some communities’ open defecation free some unscrupulous individuals were also fighting to prevent its efforts and reiterated the AMA’s commitment to keeping the metropolis clean and safe to avoid the spread of diseases. “The Public Health Department, of the Assembly had mapped out some hot spots within the metropolis and had intensified its enforcement exercises to address the challenge…The operations have started and I can assure you that our Public Health Officers led by Madam Florence Kuukyi will be hard on them in accordance with the Assembly’s bye-laws,” he said. "It’s is unacceptable for anyone to defecate or urinate in the open or defecate in a bracket or chamber pot and pour in a drain… The 2017 Sanitation bye-law of the AMA states clearly that it is an offence to defecate in the open, drains, or one’s compound, or discharge effluent into the open, drains, a compound or the environment… Anyone found culpable is liable on summary conviction to a fine, not more than one hundred penalty units or a term of imprisonment of not less than thirty days and not more than six months or both; and in case of a continuing offence, is liable to a fine of not more than one penalty unit for each day that the offence continues, ” he added. He used the opportunity to urge residents without proper places of convenience to contact the Assembly for assistance or construct one to help eradicated open defecation in the metropolis and for people to see a reason to stop the practice.

- "Free Koku Anyidoho To Vote If It Makes Sense To Reinstate 'Mole' Ahmed Tahiru" — Asiedu Nketia told
The leadership of NDC's Young Democrats has joined some members of the National Democratic Congress to petition the party leadership over the reinstatement of the sacked Ayawaso North Constituency Chairman, Baba Ahmed Tahiru. Ahmed Tahiru, who used to be H.E. Alhaji Said Sinare’s driver, was suspended by the party after allegedly lying to the police that his former boss and the current National Vice Chairman had given guns to some of the party’s youths to engage in violence in the strongholds of the NPP prior to the 2020 election. As a result, Alhaji Said Sinare was apprehended and charged with conspiracy to commit crime and unlawful possession of firearms. The group stated that, "Here’s a man who went to lie about a party national vice chairman, that he has armed people to resort to pandemonium, a charge that could have landed our national vice chairman in prison for many years, and the party. The general secretary, writes a letter reinstating him and allowing him to contest elections again?" It’s unimaginable, to say the least."They added, "Are we waiting for him to lie about the party’s flagbearer before we realize the gravity of his action as a party? A furious member of the party’s National Executive asked this question, urging the party’s FEC to amend their decision." "Coming events, they say, cast their shadows beforehand, and for this reason it is politically wrong to reinstate the embattled Ayawaso North Constituency Chairman, who blackmailed his boss, who happened to be a stalwart of the great National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a current Vice Chairman of the party." "If the letter we have cited from the office of the general secretary of the NDC is anything to go by, then Baba Tahiru's suspension as a member of the NDC should be upheld and not reversed."We are sure this would instill and enhance discipline in the party and ensure members are guided and reminded of existing structures," they told the media. "How would the general secretary feel if this were to have happened to him? that a constituency secretary who is his boy has blackmailed him over a frivolous allegation that has the capability of sending him to prison." "What an embarrassing situation not only against Alhaji Said Sinare but the party at large just a few days before a crucial national elections."Party members like Tahiru don’t have the interests of the party at heart and could be used by our opponents to diminish our fortunes in future elections," they asserted. The group stressed that, the NDC is moving forward, and any attempt to allow a selfish, greedy, and undisciplined blackmailer like Tahiru to get his position back would be counterproductive. The petitioners continue to add that "we see that Ahmed Tahiru's heinous and deliberate crime against the hardworking national vice chairman, and for that matter, the party, is far more disastrous and grievous than what led to the suspension of the former deputy secretary, Koku Anyidoho.So if the party through the general secretary can disrespects their National vice chairman by reinstating and clearing Baba Ahmed Tahiru to even contest a constituency election, then the former National Deputy Secretary, Mr. Koku Anyidoho should also be reinstated and clear to vote in the upcoming National elections." Read full petition below: November 1, 2022,Reinstall Koku Anyidoho if you can free a mole who lied against our national vice chairmen. We are, by this release, appealing to the National Executive Committee, the highest decision-making body of the great NDC, to reinstate Koku Anyidoho, who has been suspended for anti-party conduct and misbehavior. Our call is in line with the unilateral decision taken by the outgoing general secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, who re-instated the constituency chairman for Ayawaso North despite being suspended on October 29, 2020, by the National Executive Committee following a vile allegation and a report to the police against the highly reputable national vice chairman, H.E. Alhaji Said Sinare, of possessing firearms to cause mayhem ahead of the 2020 general elections, which was later found to be false. We see that Ahmed Tahiru's heinous and deliberate crime against the hardworking national vice chairman, and for that matter, the party, is far more disastrous and grievous than what led to the suspension of the former deputy secretary, Koku Anyidoho. We, therefore, call on the highest decision-making body of our party, the NEC, to, as a matter of urgency, re-instate Koku Anyidoho as a full member of the NDC or expel Mr. Baba Ahmed Tahiru from the party.Thank you.

Disability is not Inability”, she reiterated.

The Minister noted that government was working assiduously to promote digital inclusion bearing in mind the benefits ICT provides to both the individuals and the entire country. “We are in the process of establishing regional innovation centers to provide citizens with access to these ICT facilities”, she said. Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful said the Ministry, through GIFEC, had established Community Information Centers (CICs) in all districts with the aim to support access to ICT tools as part of the sustainability measures for digital training. According to her, the various interventions that have been undertaken by the Ministry and its Agencies was to narrow the gender digital divide. The Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC) also conducts digital skills training for people in unserved and underserved communities to address the digital skills gap.
