Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu says Ghanaians must be worried that they are being forced to accept Legal Practitioner and Chairman of the Electronic Communications Tribunal, Kissi Agyebeng as the next Special Prosecutor. According to Mr. Amidu, the 43-year-old lawyer is a surrogate of the “ alter ego” of Africa Legal Associates, a firm founded by the President’s cousin, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-outdoors-credit-union-to-support-informal-sector-pictures In a 3-paged write-up sighted by JoyNews, the citizen vigilante accused Mr. Otchere-Darko of using his radio station, Asaase Radio, and other platforms to leak the nomination of Mr. Agyebeng and spread falsehood about him so as to pressure President Akufo-Addo into approving him. “It must, therefore, be worrying to any patriotic Ghanaian not afraid of the culture of silence to see Asaase Radio undertaking political propaganda beginning on 25th April 2021 to 26th April 2021 to prepare the minds of the Ghanaian and international public to accept the surrogate of the alter ego of the Asaase Radio station and Africa Legal Associates as the Special Prosecutor as mandated under section 4(1) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2018 (Act 959),” he added. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/facemask-coda-boss-urges-police-to-enforce-laws The concerns by Mr. Amidu follows the nomination of the lawyer by Attorney-General, Godfred Dame on Tuesday. In his memo addressed to the President, Mr. Dame said the nomination was in line with section 13 (8) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959), which states that “when the position of the SP becomes vacant, the President shall, within six months, appoint another qualified person for that portfolio.” But commenting on this, Mr. Amidu insists that the Attorney-General nominated Mr. Agyebeng due to their personal relationship as friends and former classmates. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-donates-5000-facemasks-150-hand-sanitizers-to-gaam-pictures “Asaase Radio should also have told the Ghanaian and international public that its surrogate and nominee Special Prosecutor in the published letter is a personal friend and classmate of the Attorney General, and the owner of Asaase Radio all of whom attended the University of Ghana’s Faculty of Law and Ghana Law School. “The independence of the Special Prosecutor from the direction or control of any person or authority in the performance of the functions of his office are the operative statutory words for the nomination of an impartial Special Prosecutor! Not a word with an “ism”.

It seems that some people have not learned any lessons about what Captain Major Mahama’s assailants are going through right now. According to credible Sunyani sources, an unknown individual reported a phone theft problem to a single soldier, despite the fact that this was not the proper course of action. The unidentified soldier attempted to communicate with the man who had taken the phone in question, but he received an unfavorable response. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-outdoors-credit-union-to-support-informal-sector-pictures According to an eyewitness, the man who was caught on camera beating the soldier with a piece of wood had a long history of bad behavior in the city, including fathering four children with different women. Two soldiers were involved, but one of them took to his heels and was nearly knocked down by a passing truck. In a critical assessment, the man’s appearance indicates that he is not of sound mind, as he has lost his shirt and has unruly hair. A normal individual does not single-handedly risk the life of military personnel in broad daylight under normal circumstances.

The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Mines and Energy Committee, John Abdulai Jinapor has predicted doom for the economy should the incumbent government fail to address the recent energy challenges. According to him, the “struggling” state of the economy owing to Covid-19 indicates that the Akufo-Addo government cannot afford to be hit by another crisis. “The impact of yet another energy crisis can have dire consequences on the already struggling debt-ridden, Covid-19 economy under President Akufo-Addo,” he said.

The “obnoxious double-track system which has been exported to the power sector” he says is evidence of the government’s inability to resolve the challenge. He, therefore, presented a ten-point recommendation drafted by the Minority to help the incumbent administration address the energy sector challenges. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/facemask-coda-boss-urges-police-to-enforce-laws He pointed government’s interference in the energy sector management as a challenge, hence advised the government to refrain from engaging in political appointments especially within middle management levels when vacancies are declared. Also, the former Deputy Energy Minister entreated the government to inject the needed capital into the power sector and cut down on wasteful expenditure. Still, on financing, he added: “The Ministry of Energy must conduct a comprehensive reconciliation of the total indebtedness of all players including government and its SOEs including (GNPC, GNGC, VRA, GRIDCo, CENIT, ECG, NEDCo) in a transparent manner. “The Ministry of Finance must take steps to utilize the $1 billion sovereign bond borrowed in 2020 to address the financial challenges of the Energy sector.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Amen. Romans 3:23 I had mixed feeling yesterday, when I saw a video of the alleged money doubler or spiritualist popularly called Agradaa giving her life to christ. I almost shouted praise the Lord, But looking at the press conference to declare christ, i relaxed for a moment and asked myself who led her to christ? Should I give praise to the police CID for adding evangelism and soul winning to their job, or you think I should go to "Heblews" ? Sometimes I feel we joke too much in this country . We either fail to punish crime , make a joke of it, bring God in the picture and as we say in the local parlance "then case die". Let me also be cautious and add that, I have no right to judge anyone who has been called by God. The how and the when of salvation depends solely on God. Grace abounds !!! Having said this, I pray the law is not abused for or against anyone. Unlike the MENZGOLD customers, her first test to her call to salvation may be justified like Zacchaeus, who gave back half of his wealth to those he scammed or over taxed !!! I pray her acceptance speech from the call of God doesn't become just as a change of name or a new enterprise of doubling money in the name of God. In Ghana, it appears God works faster than in any other country. Ones God has called her , the package will include prophecy, speaking and interpreting tongues, then the others will follow. Let me be honest, as a Christian who respects other religions, I struggle or feel shy talking about some of these things, but many are already suffering and abused in the name of God and in the hands of spiritualists. I wonder how people keep falling into the hands of scammers? When others are complaining, shouting and fighting, another group are queued in line, waiting for their turn. The wheat and the weeds will continue to grow together until harvest time. Mathew 13:29 Before you start laughing out loud, and shouting religion is the opium of the masses, let me humbly add that, the wheat and the weeds are growing together everywhere. In your work places and in politics. I meet people almost everyday who wants to be politicians, wants to be members of the communication team etc. I asked a few, what new things they are bringing on board, or what is motivating them? Many were solid, ready to raise the grade, while some may have seen the assets register of Eugene Arhin in his divorce brouhaha!!! Sincerely all that glitters is not gold. In as much as there are few who have made serious wealth in politics, many are struggling after serving this nation with all they have. Some communicators you see nicely on your sets, struggle to appear. Not even a Pesewa in their pocket. Many are just convinced with the ideology they believe in and wants to see a change for a better future for all. I wish Agradaa well in the christ she has found , but my caution ones again is that, the law that arrests jujumen, arrests Malams, arrests pastors, arrests fraudsters also arrests media men. I may not be following her exploits in the miracle business but the law must!!! I pray as a nation , that we are able to nip things in the bud before poor and innocent children suffer with their lives, peoples greed to make money. I can only pray for better days ahead.

The Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has reminded staff of Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), the oldest serving state-owned broadcaster, that transformation of their media house will not lie in the hands or mouth of one board chairman or minister. According to him, it will take a collective effort to ensure a perfect transformation. Speaking at a staff durbar at GBC House in Accra, he said "My dear brothers and sisters, transformation of a public entity like GBC will not lie in the hands or mouth on one board chairman or one minister, it takes a collective effort. Let us tell ourselves some truth here, we know that in dealing with GBC in particular, if you are not careful and you get into an entanglement with unions, etc, nothing will be achieved. True or False? I like to be open and clear and straight forward with you here. You will notice that in my last term and even in this term, I have adopted a strategy that state-owned media are independent and a no-go areas for politicians. If I am coming to visit or to engage with you, I will not do so with the National Media Commission at the table" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/eradicating-poverty-coastal-development-authority-unveils-kayayei-empowerment-policy-pictures The Minister also challenged the staff to adopt a certain attitude of working with all stakeholders to improve the system adding that it ought not to be 'we' against 'them'. Mr. Oppong Nkrumah said "We must agree that we are in a difficult situation together. I don't like what I see at GBC. 31-year-old fire raided building still sitting there with doors locked. Whatever reasons, I don't know. You have wooden building on your premises, empty dilapidated, they are health hazards. You have, I dare say squatters even on your premises but you are an independent entity more or less, I can't come in and bulldoze my way in and start making those transformational changes you are looking, you yourselves will go on a demonstration against me, true or false?" The Ofoase Ayirebi MP however hinted that it will be important for government together with leadership and staff of GBC sit together, and agree that they want to transform the media house. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-outdoors-credit-union-to-support-informal-sector-pictures He tasked the yet-to-be set-up committee will agree on what the staff wants to do with the future of GBC and how much it will cost. "I am sure when you see your colleagues at Graphic, you are happy? GBC can even do better than Graphic. With what the Ghana News Agency is putting on the table, if you start seeing a GNA channel on whether DSTV or other platforms, that are leading Economic and Business News like that of CMBC Africa is doing and pushing, I am sure you would want to be better than them. But it takes a certain opening up, and admission that you want to work together to transform the organization and that is the kind of partnership, I am looking for" Ranking Member on Communications In Parliament, A.B.A Fuseini said "I have seen the excruciating conditions under which our colleagues work and so you don't show an indigene the way to his house. So the Communications Committee has been very sympathetic and like the Minister said the fundamental problem is that GBC today, is like a bat, it is not a mammal or even a bird" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/facemask-coda-boss-urges-police-to-enforce-laws Speaking on the budget, he said "The budget is brought from the Ministry after the Ministry and GBC Management have sat down and decided on what goes into the budget" He appealed to the staff and management do their best in making the state-owned media remain the nation's trusted voice. In an exclusive interview with Thinknewsonline.com, Director General of GBC, Professor Aminu Alhassan Ph.D. said "I am optimistic because, I have the backing of the staff, union, management and the board that we are unto something good. So far, the progresses we have chalked, we have started increasing our revenue, we have started investing in our infrastructure, we have acquired new vehicles for the staff, we have invested in studio modernization and we are still doing more." READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-donates-5000-facemasks-150-hand-sanitizers-to-gaam-pictures Professor Alhassan PhD revealed that within the next two weeks, GBC will be commissioning a new studio which has robotic cameras adding that all these and more gives the staff hope. He also admitted that the first few months in GBC were tough, he communicated that to the staff of which they know where the management is taking them to. "I am optimistic that GBC will rise again, GBC will shine. We don't compete with anybody. We are the only public service broadcasting service in the country and we have no competitor" he noted. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/covid-19-coda-donates-ppes-to-ga-traditional-council-ahead-of-homowo-celebrations The Director General also praised the oldest state-owned broadcaster for introducing Ghana Learning two weeks after President Akufo-Addo ordered for the shut-down of schools across the country due to the rise in covid-19 cases. "Two weeks, GBC launched a 24-hour tv station with 100% GES curriculum, no commercials and we are running it till today. The content is provided by GES and GBC just does the transmission. Within two weeks of shutting down schools, we brought the classroom to the tv screens serving kindergarten to senior high school. So this is not the job of a private broadcaster. Today, Ghana Learning radio is across the country on several of our FM stations, we are running Ghana Learning radio for people to learn. It is to support the challenges on our educational system" he noted. Watch the videos below: Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

The Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has challenged the leadership of Ghana News Agency (GNA), a state-owned media outlet to adapt to changes in the market and ensure it maintain its relevance. According to him, the old market place which GNA used its prominence to serve as a bulk distributor of news is no longer the same as the current trend. Addressing Journalists during a tour at GNA head office in Accra, he said "Today, we have a pluralism of media houses in the industry, we have a multiplicity of platforms across the country, over 500 radio stations, 100 television platforms, several online and print platforms and so the old market place which the services of a bulk distributor of news, coming from a government news agency was so prominent but no longer that same market place and this means that state-owned media like that Ghana News Agency has to adapt to the changes in the market and ensure that you will maintain your relevance" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/covid-19-coda-donates-ppes-to-ga-traditional-council-ahead-of-homowo-celebrations He added that although all the demands of the state-owned media outlet have not been met, he is happy about the conclusion of financial clearance to recruit about 40 new staff to augment its dwindled numbers.

This organization is one that you require the human resources to push so it is exciting to know that the financial clearance has been given and you are going to get an augmentation of your numbers so that you can deliver" he mentioned. Mr. Oppong Nkrumah further said "I am happy to note the comments that have been made by your general manager and by your board chair that in the last term of the Akufo-Addo administration and my watch as Minister for Information, you have as an institution, received a significant increase in your budgetary allocations and I think it is something, I take a personal point of pride in that we have been able to increase your budgetary allocations as an agency all be it not being enough or to the level that you want" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-donates-5000-facemasks-150-hand-sanitizers-to-gaam-pictures On his part, the Managing Director of Ghana News Agency (GNA), Albert Kofi Owusu said "GNA is 64years this year and is struggling to keep its operations going. Largely because of financial resources to back a determined workforce. Hon. Minister, GNA has survived its many challenges over the years mainly because of the determination of its core staff who have held on even when the numbers were depleting" He explained that GNA's workforce currently stands at 105 stressing that it used to be 180 in 2012. Mr. Owusu further hinted that the media outlet's editorial team which is spread across the country stands at 55 adding that it is woefully inadequate for an operation of such size. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/facemask-coda-boss-urges-police-to-enforce-laws "But thanks to your Ministry and personal interventions, we have secured the necessary clearance from the public services' commission and the Ministry of Finance to recruit 40 Editorial staff this year" The MD, however, mentioned that he believes the yet to be recruited Editorial team will help to fully roll out its digital operations which began last year on a pilot basis.

The National Media Commission's (NMC) Boss, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafo said "We consider those on the Board of GNA as those who are making sacrifices in the sense that the allowances are supposed to be paid by the Ministry of Finance and unlike the other ones who when after their meeting, they can pay them, sometimes, they have to wait for the whole year and it creates uncertainties and we are seriously thankful to them" He suggested that an area should be considered and handed over as compensation for their long dedication and service to GNA.

We just approved your budget and it is right for us to come and see exactly what we are approving the budget for and it's good that I came this morning because when I got downstairs, I looked at the building and I was like 'wow'; we need renovation. So coming here to see what you have started doing, I believe that as a committee, we are also going to push and make sure that you get what you deserve" Board Chair of Ghana News Agency (GNA) Professor Olivia Kwapong thanked the Minister for Information and his delegation for showing love and paying them a visit. "Once you are here, I would also want with your support and heart to also appreciate my board members for all the support they have been giving GNA since we have been serving as members of the board.

There are multiple telltale clues that someone may be cheating or is at least in the process of doing so! Such as smelling a new perfume in a shirt is a sign and there are also some more obvious signs which demand a much more subtle and closed eye. Other times a sign could merely be a false alarm, yet they still require additional investigating. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/covid-19-coda-donates-ppes-to-ga-traditional-council-ahead-of-homowo-celebrations Here are some of the trickiest and diverse signs that your partner is cheating and sleeping with someone else: 1. Love Life is No Longer Exciting You should gradually consider the possibility they may be getting lucky with someone else if you notice a sudden decline in interest. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-donates-5000-facemasks-150-hand-sanitizers-to-gaam-pictures 2. It’s Not Fun Around You Anymore In various cases, they will be less excited to spend time with you or won’t pay close consideration to your conversations. Like how was your partner in the past? How has he gradually changed? READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/facemask-coda-boss-urges-police-to-enforce-laws Keep an eye on their actions and analyze them carefully. A lack of excitement may also extend beyond the bedroom. 3. Long Delays in Communication If a companion hasn’t taken on a new activity, then it’s possible someone may be stealing his time and complete attention. Delaying on occasion is fine, however, if this becomes a piercing issue, rest assured that something’s wrong. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-outdoors-credit-union-to-support-informal-sector-pictures Was your partner readily available in the past? Do they seem to take longer to respond these days? 4. Your Partner is Always Late There’s constantly an advantageous excuse available when your partner is routinely late. Once in awhile working a late shift shouldn’t raise any red flags, but what if it becomes the norm? READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/eradicating-poverty-coastal-development-authority-unveils-kayayei-empowerment-policy-pictures If yes its a sign! 5. Look at Your Finances If you guys live together pay close attention to your overall expenses and earnings. Maybe someone claims to be working extra hours, though they never have anything to show for it. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/bui-power-ceo-is-wrong-the-energy-minister-has-not-been-misled-by-gridco As your partner may be spending the money somewhere else, this is especially true if you feel the bills have gotten tighter over time. 6. They Suddenly Carry a Second Phone Unless your job strictly requires it is not exactly common to carry two cell phones. Your partner may claim to have an extra phone for ease, but it may also be used for something far more sinister. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/we-need-to-generate-more-energy-napo-urges-pictures Is it password protected? Is it under another carrier? Well if the reasons are supposedly so innocent then why a phone may be so mysterious. 7. They’re Way Too Open Was he or she this relaxed before in showing up his phone? Why would they suddenly open up and let you inspect away? READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/i-ve-never-cheated-on-my-wife-before-and-will-never-do-that-kumawood-actor-nana-yeboah-video They have a secret phone hidden away, and therefore, they are using the normal one as a trick. 8. Your Partner is More Giving If they are suddenly showering you with presents for no particular reason, however, this may be a telltale sign of guilt. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/bobrisky-explains-his-reason-for-not-fasting-this-ramadan Use this opportunity to oversee them and reveal the truth behind this change in behavior. 9. There’s Suddenly a Special Friend What if your partner’s “special friend” just popped out of nowhere without your prior knowledge? Although everyone has a close friend or even someone they consider family. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/tiwa-savage-flaunts-her-new-tattoo-picture You have to observe this sign. 10. Your Partner is More Forgetful This could mean their attention is elsewhere; they may be too excited to care about you or are overwhelmed merely handling two people at the same time. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/bawumia-announces-peter-tuffuor-s-death Gradually your partner may become more forgetful about many things, big and small, especially if they’re related to you. 11. Less Family Time If there’s suddenly little to no family time, your partner may be cheating. Perhaps they were the life of the party before, but now they’re hardly present. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/i-will-score-akufo-addo-6-110-percent-on-his-fight-against-galamsey-captain-smart Contrarily, your partner may keep these events short because they’re afraid to be somewhere else. 12. They’re Cold and Distant Thoughtfully compare things to the way they used to be, then draw a logical conclusion from there. For instance: Does your loved one seem more distant in general or possibly more moody and cold? READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/10-things-good-men-should-never-do-in-a-relationship Perhaps he or she is protecting whereas before they were far more receptive? 13. Their Everyday Behavior Has Changed Is your partner stepping away to take specific calls while remaining around for others? If this person was messy and you don’t live together, is his place abruptly clean every time you visit? READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/spotlight-on-frema-osei-opare-an-economist-banker-and-ghanaian-politician It’s all about figuring the math in combination with other peculiar features. 14. Picking Up Unusual Habits If someone who wasn’t into sports is swiftly interested, this could be because an outside party was substantial enough to change their mind.

Questionable Things in Your Surroundings Look at your surroundings for anything out of the ordinary over a couple of weeks or months. For instance, on multiple occasions do meal receipts show food for two people? Are there residual signs of two cups having been in the car’s cup holder? Then act accordingly as they are a few of the signs which demand your attention. See how people reacted on this post: The Truth of Love: “This is going to be really triggering for some people.
