Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Mr. Bernard Mornah says he will not retract his words is ever ready to ‘die’ for the truth if that is what the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service wants. Mornah invitation The CID invited Mr. Mornah for allegedly saying: “We’ll beat and kill each other” should confusion arise at any voter ID card registration centre during the Electoral Commission’s forthcoming exercise to compile a new register. According to the CID, Mr. Mornah made the statement during a press conference by the Inter-Party Resistance Against New Register (IPRAN) on 26 May 2020. He’s expected to honour the invitation on Tuesday, 2nd June 2020 at 10 am at the CID headquarters in Accra. No U-turn Bernard Mornah who is also the leader of the IPRAN, in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ insisted he will not eat his words. “ . . and let me repeat, the path on which the Electoral Commission is trading will bring serious issues to this country. If the CID is inviting me because of what I said, I will go and I will repeat the same thing there,” he stated. Kill me, jail me He told host Kwesi Aboagye that he is “ready” to die and maintained that he has no regret whatsoever about his utterance. “I will say it in exactly the same way; what I said. If they [CID] want my life, I will give it to them freely. I will not be guarded and cease from saying what I feel will lead the country to peace and stability. They can kill me, they can jail me but that will not deter me from what I said. I will die but will still say it,” he emphatically stated. IPRAN reacts to Mornah invitation According to the group, Mr. Bernard Mornah’s invite will not soften its “poignant stance” on the “ill-advised and needless decision to compile a new register of voters.” IPRAN, in a statement issued and signed by the Leader and Founder of the United Front Party on Thursday, 28th May 2020, it has taken notice of an “official invitation extended to the Convener of the Coalition by the CID to assist in investigations in connection with some alleged inflammatory comments” at its press conference. The group noted that it is "appalled by the decision of the CID to kowtow to the whims and caprices of some individuals who have been irked by, not just the spirited resistance of Comrade Bernard Mornah, in particular, but by the Coalition as a whole.” It continued that the Coalition “knows that this is a calculated attempt by the government through the police to intimidate and cow the Coalition into submission on the heated matter of the compilation of anew voters’ register ahead of the 2020 elections” and that “as a law-abiding citizen and a renowned public figure, the CID should rest assured that Comrade Bernard Mornah would honour the invitation as scheduled in the invitation letter.” The Coalition continued further that the police should beware “that this is not going to soften the poignant stance of the Coalition on the ill-advised and needless decision to compile a new voters’ register which is going to disenfranchise a vast majority of the people coupled with the fact that it is at a huge cost to the poor taxpayer.” Source: Peacefmonline.com

Thousands of people poured into the streets of Mnineapolis for a second night of protests which later turned chaotic as police fired rubber bullets from a rooftop leaving several businesses on fire, one person shot and killed by a store owner after a viral video showed a white police officer putting his knee on the neck of a black man, who later died. A peaceful protest earlier in the evening descended into disarray and looting. A group of officers stood in front of a nearby precinct and tried to disrupt the crowd with flash bang grenades and rubber bullets. At times, the tear gas was so thick, it wafted down neighborhood streets where people standing in their front yards were coughing and wiping at their eyes. By 10 p.m., an Auto Zone had caught fire. One person was shot by a pawn shop owner and died at a hospital, police told the Star Tribune, as looters ransacked a Target, Foot Locker and nearby small businesses. Mayor Jacob Frey (D) requested help from the state’s National Guard as local leaders pleaded for a peaceful resolution. “Violence only begets violence. More force is only going to lead to more lives lost and more devastation,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted. The scene followed the death of 46-year-old George Floyd on Monday, which came after a white officer pinned the handcuffed father of two to the pavement outside of a market where employees had called police about a counterfeit bill. The police encounter was caught on a viral video that has sparked national outrage and inflamed existing tensions in a community where cops have long been accused of racism. In the suburb of Oakdale, hundreds of protesters on Wednesday gathered outside the home of Derek Chauvin, the police officer who was captured on the video with his knee on Floyd’s neck. According to the Star Tribune, red paint was poured onto Chauvin’s driveway, and the word “killer” was written on the garage door. Police Chief Medaria Arradondo swiftly fired Chauvin after Floyd’s death, along with the three other involved officers, identified by authorities Wednesday as Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng. President Trump on Wednesday tweeted that he had asked the FBI, which is investigating the death, to expedite its work, adding that “Justice will be served!” But the response from authorities has done little to assuage a community that says it has long suffered undue treatment by local officers and has called for the officers’ arrests. A water bottle thrown by a protester sail through the air near officers on the roof of Minneapolis Police 3rd Precinct, Wednesday, May 27, 2020, in Minneapolis. The mayor of Minneapolis called Wednesday for criminal charges to be filed against the white police officer seen on video kneeling against the neck of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who complained that he could not breathe and died in police custody. The protests here on Wednesday were reminiscent of those that followed the 2017 death of Philando Castile, who was sitting in his car after a traffic stop in a nearby suburb when an officer shot him. When his nephew was killed, Clarence Castile made every effort to understand how something so horrific could have happened: He began attending sessions at the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board to learn about rules governing the use of force. He became a St. Paul Police Reserves officer. And, last year, he joined a task force convened by the state attorney general to develop recommendations on how to reduce deadly-force encounters involving police statewide. But when he saw the video of Floyd’s encounter with police this week, Castile was overcome by that same sense of hopelessness that he felt when his sister’s son died the same sick feeling he’s gotten every time another deadly police incident makes news. "Is anything ever really going to change?” Castile wondered. Police chiefs react with disgust to Minneapolis death, try to reassure their own cities As demands for accountability rang out from Floyd’s family, politicians on both sides of the aisle, celebrities and other high-profile figures, Frey (D) called on the county prosecutor to arrest the officer who used his knee to hold Floyd by the neck in a move that is not approved by the agency or the state licensing body. Visibly emotional, Frey said precedent encouraged him “not to speak out. Not to act so quickly. And I’ve wrestled with more than anything else in the last 36 hours one fundamental question: Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?” Yet with several high-profile, fatal police encounters in recent years along with efforts at reform some activists couldn’t help but feel hopeless. Castile was one of them. The task force had come up with dozens of recommendations, including required law enforcement training on de-escalation skills and an independent unit within the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate all uses of force by police officers that result in death or bodily injury. But in the wake of another tragic death, Castile said Wednesday, the list of proposals felt like just another piece of paper. “We can come up with all the recommendations in the world. We can make all these new policies. But until people follow these policies, until people use these recommendations and are held accountable when they don’t, it ain’t going to matter,” he said. “It’s just a lot of talk, a lot of jibber jabber, and here we go again.” At a police precinct on Minneapolis’s south side on Wednesday, officers stood on the roof and fired tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of several hundred people, some of whom threw rocks and bottles at the police. Looting was reported at a Target store, adjacent to the precinct, and at least one man was seen running down a street carrying a flat-screen television, but there appeared to be no attempt by police to intervene. Arradondo acknowledged the “trauma” and “pain” in the community over Floyd’s death and said his department was doing its best to respect the “First Amendment” right of those who had gathered. But he warned the department would not tolerate unsafe behavior. “There’s space to be respectful, but we cannot have members of our community engaging in destructive or criminal types of behavior,” he said. Community activists who have sought change following incidents such as the fatal shootings of 24-year-old Jamar Clark in 2015 and 40-year-old Justine Damond in 2017 describe a familiar refrain. There are community protests and support from officials before the old patterns set back in. “The city council members and the mayor and police chief constantly bemoan what they can’t do because their hands are tied by the [police union] contract,” said Dave Bicking, vice president of the police accountability and reform group Communities United Against Police Brutality. “But every three years when the contract comes up, they rubber stamp it.” Splattered paint and chalk writing are on the driveway of the home of fired Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin in Oakdale, Minn., Wednesday, May 27, 2020. The mayor of Minneapolis called Wednesday for criminal charges against Chauvin, the white police officer seen on video kneeling against the neck of Floyd George, a handcuffed black man who complained that he could not breathe and died in police custody. Arradondo on Wednesday said police department reform needs to be viewed “as a marathon, not a sprint.” But he acknowledged that one incident could sow doubt. “That’s why I am obligated and dedicated to making sure that each and every day, I act in a way, and our men and women act in a way, that builds that trust that garners that credibility and legitimacy,” the chief said. “And then also, when things go wrong, that we own it.” Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Floyd family, said that without public pressure, he feared authorities would try to sweep the incident under the rug. But he said that with the video, “you can’t deny truth that you witness with your own eyes.” The chain of events that led to Floyd’s death began just after 8 p.m. Monday, when a Cup Foods employee called 911, suspecting that Floyd had tried to use a fake $20 bill. Security footage provided to The Washington Post showed squad cars pulling up outside the corner store in the southern part of the city. Minutes later, after a brief struggle, two officers removed a handcuffed Floyd from a vehicle and placed him against the wall of a business. He was questioned and taken across the street, stumbling and still handcuffed. What happened next was captured in the now-viral video that would set off fresh outrage in Minneapolis and across the United States. “I cannot breathe,” Floyd said, repeatedly, as an officer kept him pinned by the neck to the ground. An increasingly distraught group of onlookers pleaded with the police, telling them, “Get off his neck!” A fire department report said paramedics arrived to find Floyd was unresponsive and had no pulse. Several bystanders told them the police had “killed that man.” At least two of the officers have been involved in previous use-of-force incidents, including fatal ones. Chauvin, a 19-year veteran of the force, shot people in at least two prior incidents, including a 2006 fatal shooting of a stabbing suspect, according to a database maintained by Communities United Against Police Brutality. Thao was a defendant in a 2014 lawsuit alleging excessive use of force, according to court records. The city later settled the complaint for $25,000. Mylan Masson, a former officer who ran police training at Minnesota’s Hennepin Technical College until 2016, said that because of problems including people getting hurt, that form of restraint is no longer approved by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board. Now, officers using a knee restraint are told to put the pressure between the shoulder blades rather than on the neck. Watching the video, she said, “it kept getting worse and worse." “You only use your force until the threat is stopped,” she said. “Once the threat is stopped, you discontinue your force. He was not thrashing around. He wasn’t really moving. He was trying to breathe, is what he was trying to do at first.” She said she wanted to know all the details before weighing in on whether the officers should be arrested. But to family of Floyd, a “gentle giant” and father of two who worked security at a local restaurant, there was no question. In interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday, they said they believed he had been murdered. “I would like for those officers to be charged with murder,” his sister Bridgett Floyd said during a Wednesday appearance on NBC’s “Today” show. “Because that’s exactly what they did. They murdered my brother. He was crying for help.” Her words echoed those of a cousin, Tera Brown, who on Tuesday told CNN’s Don Lemon that “what they did was murder.” “And almost the whole world has witnessed that,” she added, “because somebody was gracious enough to record it.” On Tuesday night, officers in riot gear responded to protesters with tear gas, flash-bang devices and nonlethal bullets after some in the large crowd shattered windows at the police department’s Third Precinct and vandalized cars, according to local media and images shared online. The police response drew criticism from some who drew a contrast between the demonstrators in Minneapolis and the heavily armed protesters who gathered at state capitols in recent weeks to demonstrate against shutdown measures enacted amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Among those condemning the police response was Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), whose district includes Minneapolis. “Shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at unarmed protesters when there are children present should never be tolerated. Ever,” she tweeted. “What is happening tonight in our city is shameful. Police need to exercise restraint, and our community needs space to heal.” Responding to the criticism, Frey said Arradondo had told him that he “could not run the risk of one tragedy leading to another,” adding that he supported the police chief. In the neighborhood where officers detained Floyd, a spokesman for the family that owns Cup Foods said Wednesday that they had offered to cover the expenses of Floyd’s funeral. “We feel so remorseful that this happened,” said the spokesman, Jamar B. Nelson. Among the hundreds of people at the intersection to continue protesting Floyd’s death, there was a sense of despair at the fatal cycle that seemed to play out again and again between people of color and law enforcement in the city. There was little faith in the idea that anything would change — no matter how swiftly the city had moved to terminate the four officers involved or how much the mayor and other elected officials spoke out against such behavior. “[The police] think of us as less than animals, and that’s the way it has always been,” said Claudette White, who is black and has lived in the neighborhood on and off for decades. She raised her kids to be cautious of the police, warning them they wouldn’t be treated the same as white people, and even now, at 69, she continually worries something might happen to them. “I don’t see things getting better, not in my lifetime,” she said. “I think it’s only going to get worse.” Years ago, she’d run into a burning house to save a neighbor’s life. And now, she teared up thinking of Floyd lying on the street here, his neck compressed by the knee of a police officer, as he gasped for air and called out for his mother. “I wish I’d been here,” she said. “They probably would have shot me, but I would have done something.” Shammas reported from Washington, and Bellware from Chicago.

The Toddler's Mistake Little children love to copy whatever their parents do. So you have small girls wanting to apply lipstick and makeup while you have small boys wanting to shave just like they see their dads do. The toddler's mistake in a love relationship happens where people who are dating, merely dating, act as if they are married. As if they are husband and wife. The ‘Trotro’ Mistake Most trotro drivers do not observe the number of passengers on board unless the police are on the road. Committing the trotro mistake in a love relationship happens when anyone, be it the boy or the girl forces himself or herself into a relationship where there is another person. For instance, a boy has a girlfriend and another girl is forcing to get the boy. The second girl is making the trotro mistake. The Monkey Mistake It is said that monkeys play by sizes and for good reason. The money mistake in a love relationship happens when a boy goes in for a girl way above his class. In such a situation, “the monkey” has not played according to his size and the result can be death as was the case, in the play, Othello. The ‘Galamsey’ Mistake The galamsey mistake happens when a young man in a committed relationship, cheats on his girl and sleeps with another girl. He has done, as it were, ‘done galamsey’ and the result is often the destruction of trust and the compromising of the future of the relationship. Just as galamsey compromises the future of the environment. The Cornerstone Mistake This mistake happens when a boy for whatever reason pulls away from his true love only to discover later that he cannot live without her. In such a situation the stone that he rejected has become the cornerstone. Unfortunately, the realisation that it is true love he walks away from comes when he is married and/or she is married and getting back together is no longer an option. The Stealing Hotel Towel Mistake Hotel towels are not meant to be taken home. They are for everyone to use and leave behind. The stealing hotel towel mistake happens when a girl falls in love for a known player and decides herself into thinking hat she can change him. Just as stealing hotel towels can result in disgrace, so does committing the stealing hotel towel mistake in a love relationship result in heartbreak and disgrace. The Oshin Mistake Those who are old would remember that the first soap opera to screen regularly in Ghana was Oshin which was the name of the lead character. The feature of Oshin is that she was always asking for forgiveness. Even when she had not done anything wrong. Oshin’s mistake in a love relationship occurs when one party in the relationship, keeps begging the other one for love and attention. Begging for love, robs the person of their dignity and makes the person less attractive. The Bushfire Mistake This mistake happens when someone rushes into marriage just for sex. In the 70s, a young girl I knew kept saying, ‘Brother Whyte, I’m burning and so I must get married.’ Soon after secondary school, she got herself married because she said “burning”. Unfortunately, her husband got the chance to travel to the US for a conference two weeks into their marriage. When he got to the US, he refused to return and of course, his wife, could not get a visa to join him. The result was terrible. Anyone who marries just for sex sets himself or herself up for disgrace and for disappointment. The Fast Track Mistake A young man with great excitement tells me that he is going to get married in a month. I asked him, ‘how long have you known this lady?’ ‘Oh I’ve known her for three months,’ he says. I say ‘three months is too soon for you to be talking about marriage. Give yourself a little more time to get to know her better.’ The young man dismisses my concern with, ‘you know, you don’t need time when you know you have found a good thing.’ Well, the marriage came on but after three years it was over. You cannot fast track a love relationship. It is time for people to reveal themselves fully and it takes time to get to know people well. If you do not give yourself the time to get to know the other person well enough, you are making the fast track mistake and you have set yourself up for a huge disappointment. The ‘Asana’ Mistake A godly young lady comes to me and says, ‘I was raised to say no to sex until marriage but my boy says, ‘if I do not allow him to have sex with me then I should not blame him if he strays.’ I tell the young lady, ‘if you give in to his pressure and have sex with him that will be the end of the relationship. She decides that I do not know what I’m talking about and so she goes ahead to give him sex. After that, the boy just vanishes from her life. She could not reach him. She had made the asana mistake. Asana is a cheap drink made from corn and the sellers allow prospective customers to taste it before they make the decision to buy. Hence the name from the Ga language. Asana is cheap and the sellers can afford to let people taste before they buy. And when a girl gives in to a boy’s pressure and gives him sex, she has cheapened her values and in most cases, the boy will simply walk away. Whenever somebody compromises his or her values just to hold on to a relationship, they have made the asana mistake and will lose out sooner or later. The Fire Service Mistake This mistake is made by good and decent boys. This is how it happens. A lady is in distress and John, a caring young man goes into help and continues to show care and concern. But before he knows it, he has been sucked into a romantic relationship with the girl he went in to help. John has mistaken caring for romantic love. The fire service mistake never ends well. In the end, the boy who came into help ends up becoming a villain in the girl’s life, as he realises that caring is not the same as romantic love. Source: Uncle Ebo Whyte

If not for anything, music plays a major role in most of our lives. Don’t we have entertainment? So, there’s nothing wrong with having a musician in Parliament. At Parliament, we discuss tourism, creative arts, culture, and several other things that music is keyed in. It’s actually a plus for Parliament to have a musician,” he stressed.

Thinknewsonline.com can confirm that the largest opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday boycotted an IPAC Engagement describing it as double track. According the Deputy General Secreatry of the party, Peter Otokunohe opposition NDC boycotted the meeting on the basis of claiming that it was improperly held. Speaking on an Accra based radio station, Mr Otunor “That meeting does not constitute a proper IPAC meeting because they had divided one committee into groups; you may want to call it double tracking, to decide on the same issue" He further added that he is disappointed in the EC for towing on such lines. "We think that with any such an approach, we are not going to properly appreciate and understand the issue and contributions from various political parties and we believe that, decision making will be problematic.” he revealed. Although the Electoral Commission is bent on compiling a new voter’s register ahead of the upcoming 2020 general elections, the NDC and some opposition parties are against the decision whiles the ruling NPP and twelve other political parties have backed the move. Thinknewsonline.com is learning that the EC has come up safety measures ahead of the commencement of the registration exercise. The exercise is expected to start in June and end in July 2020. In other developments, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu says he participated in the first of a two-session held today on a very controversial issue. “The Electoral Commission has slated the registration on June ending and very soon per the law 21 days to any national exercise they [EC] will have to inform us. The specific date will be given to us in the course of time. This means it will take almost about 40 days and they will be finishing the exercise by the end of July as well,” he said.
