  • Embattled Dorfor Chief Hot: ..As Togbe Saho Could not Provide his Gazetted Documents

    Embattled Dorfor Chief Hot: ..As Togbe Saho Could not Provide his Gazetted Documents

    By Nana Yaw Cobina

    A self- acclaimed Chief of the Dorfor Akata Clan within the North Tongu District of the Volta Region, Togbe Saho is currently hot over his legitimacy as chief of the area.

    Even though Togbe Saho claimed to be a gazetted Traditional Leader of the area, he could not mention names of persons who signed his CD forms to support his legitimacy when visited by a team of journalists to testify to his legitimacy. When visited in his residence by the journalists, Torgbe Saho claimed to have documents qualifying him to rule but was unable to prove his knowledge about the Stool.

    He could not even provide accurate information about his supposed immediate predecessor and certain documents he ( the Predecessor ) had generated about lines of succession for the Saho Stool and its Kingmakers.

    Speaking at a recent press conference to challenge the legitimacy of Togbe Saho at Dorfor, the Stool Father of the Dorfor Akata Clan, Zikpuitor Norvinye Kpornorglo alleged that he did not enstool the supposed Togbe Saho and that he is not a legitimate chief of the area. His claim of being a chief should therefore be disregarded by the general public.

    He called on the general public to stop according him with the Togbe Saho name but rather address him by the name Mr. William Kwame Doko. He further stated that Mr. Doko, though a member of the Clan, hails from a family that has been designated the role of Linguists and has only illegally arrogated himself the tittle of Torgbe Saho VI. He said that there is a document which clearly identifies which role he should associate himself with as someone who comes from the Doko/Kufa Family.

    “The truth of the matter is Doko’s claim that he has been gazetted is false”, he asserted. He said a search at the Volta Regional House of Chiefs revealed that he has not been gazetted but has illegally started the process of registration . “His claim of being a Chief was challenged at the Volta Regional House of Chief and a ruling was given in 2019 (Suit No. VRP 1/2017) directing both parties, one of whom was William Kwame Doko, to have the matter adjudicated at a nearest properly constituted Traditional Council”, he added. Zikpuitor Norvinye Kpornorglo said Without taken any steps to approach a nearby Traditional Council to have the matter resolved, Mr. Doko clandestinely went behind the other party and the Judicial Committee of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs to start the registration process to have himself registered as a chief in 2020.

  • Conversion Of State Toll Booth into Public Urinals Is A Suicidal Mission in Disguise: Halt That Decision Now

    Conversion Of State Toll Booth into Public Urinals Is A Suicidal Mission in Disguise: Halt That Decision Now

    Open Letter To:

    Chief of Staff.

    Minister For Roads And Highways.

    IGP.

    Minister For Health.

    The Young mental health Nurse, Bismark Kpobi, have sighted a comment made by the Hon. Minister for Roads and Highways in circulations where he stated that all TOLLBOOTHs across the country will soon be converted into Public Urinals.

    However, He must say on authority that that is retrogressive decision and it will be suicidal and homicidal if not halted now.

    Below are some questions we should be asking the minister ;

    1. Will the urinal be used by cars plying the roads ? If yes, do we have spacious areas where all hundreds of cars passing by can stop ,park and the drivers and passengers use the Urinals? Per my assessment across the country, we don’t have such spacious areas where many cars can park for passengers to line up there to ease themselves.

    2. Will the place be used by those passing by on foot, those living by the TOLLBOOTHs,or for the general public? If yes, will the running cars passing stop for people to cross the road to use the Urinals since Weija , Motorway TOLLBOOTHs have many in the middle of the roads?

    Per the above questions, it is clear the intentions and decision of the Hon Minister, Kwasi Amoako- Attah, will be dangerous and disastrous and hence should not be tolerated and given the necessary consideration. If we want to provide public Urinals and toilets for the passengers and drivers, then we have many places along the roads that can be utilised other than setting death traps for innocent souls who will be trooping to the roads to ease themselves.

    Also, that decision will cause huge traffics the abolishment of the TOLLBOOTHs previously sorted to prevent.Having expatiate my points,

    He calls on all discerning citizens and media to add their voices before inevitable accidents start visiting the country.

    Thank you for reading this article.

  • Is Government Deliberately Refusing To Pay The Two Months Salaries Arrears of the 4% to Nurses? Pay Us Now!!.. – Bismark Kpobi

    Is Government Deliberately Refusing To Pay The Two Months Salaries Arrears of the 4% to Nurses? Pay Us Now!!.. – Bismark Kpobi

    Open Letter To:

    Chief of Staff.

    MoH.

    CAGD.

    Last year, 2021, was the saddest year in the lives of public sector workers since salary increment was pegged at 4% and 7% for 2022 despite the cost of living and the prices of goods and services. So it was a shock to all to see that our monies wouldn’t see any marginal increment as compared to previous years since the introduction and implementation of the single spine salary structure SSSS.

    Very appalling to say, even the 4% stipulated arrears that was marked to be paid , over 80% of Nurses and some percentage of teachers were denied Two Solid Months Arrears that should have reflected in December,2021 payment. Upon several enquiries, we were made to understand that it was due to some few technical challenges hence all the two months arrears will be addressed and paid together with the January 7% salary increment, but alas, we woke up to another deception and shocks since the two months 4% salary arrears never reflected or paid.Most colleagues don’t usually check their salaries when paid , some only spend whatever that comes so it took the eagle eyes of few to detect that.

    So we believe that government wanted to shortchange us for reasons best known to them.We have over 120,000 nurses working, so if such a percentage of people are denied the 4% ,in addition to some teachers, you will appreciate how much someone is making through the backdoor with our salary arrears.

    Bismark calls on the government and director at controller and accountant general department to come out clear on this mishappenning to nurses and some teachers.Enough of the delays or stagnation in points changes and its accompanying monies and the rest.

    Hoping to hearing from you.

  • Kingsmakers of Prampram Blames Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs for the Unending Bloodshed in Prampram

    Kingsmakers of Prampram Blames Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs for the Unending Bloodshed in Prampram

    The Elders of the three ruling gates of Prampram in the Greater Accra Region, being Abbey Doku Mansro We, Tetteh Djan Larbi Agbo We and Kwei  Opletu We have cited the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs for the incessant bloodshed  in Prampram.

    In a statement by the Seitse of Prampram, Nuumo Osabu Abbey said despite the numerous cases against the embattled Paramount Chief of the area, Nene Tetteh Waka known in private life as Michael Quarcoopone has been imposed on them as Prampram Mantse.

    According to the Seitse or Stool Father Nuumo Osabu Abbey, since the imposition of Nene Tetteh Waka on them, Prampram has witnessed a number of hired killings of which Nene Tetteh Waka has been mentioned as the main suspect. These killings, according to Nuumo Osabu Abbey, were all targeted at people who rose or rise against the rule of Nene Tetteh Waka.

    Numo Osabu Abbey said, it is rather ridiculous that despite a number of cases before the Judicial Committee of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs against Nene Tetteh Waka, some which had the Osudoku Matse who is the President of the Regional House of Chiefs as the presiding Chair of one of such cases against Nene Waka, Nungua Mantse King Odaifio Welentsi who is the Vice President of the Regional House as the chair to the substantive case, the two maneuvered to see to the gazette Nene Waka at the National House level on the 22th December, 2021 even though a hearing notice for the substantive case against Nene Waka had been on served on the 28th November, 2021 but they the plaintiff refused to appear.

    According to Nuumo Osabu, though the plaintiff refused to appear for the hearing the Registrar forwarded a CD form signed by the Nungua Mantse who is the chairman of the sitting and was backed by the President of the House, Nene Osudoku. This has left Nuumo Osabu Abbey to wonder which judgment served the basis for the gazette. He wonders how someone who the National House of Chiefs earlier ruled against can soon be granted gazette by the same House.

    Nuumo Abbey also fingered the Registrar of the Greater Regional House of Chiefs Enoch Addo in what he described as a shady deal in getting Nene Tetteh Waka a gazette. According to him it was the same Registrar who served the hearing notice for 28th November but went ahead to verify his CD form for the gazette on 22nd November. Nuumo Osabu said a Symbol of Authority was supposed to be thrown to the next in line for the kingship by the Family Head of Kley Tsokunya, but the Head of Family was killed on 26th October in a meeting requested by the Prampram Traditional Council. He wonders who then threw the symbol of authority for the installation of Nene Tetteh Waka. He also indicated that the Makralo plays a key role in the installation of a Mantse at Prampram and since the Mankralo was also killed in a similar manner three years ago, he wonders which Mankralo aided the installation of Nene Tetteh Waka. 

    He said the said Nene Waka has never seen the black stool so cannot be a chief. Nuumo Osabu bemoaned the rather inaction on the part of such government installations as the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Minister for Chieftaincy and Culture and such personalities as  the Inspector General of Police, Speaker of Parliament, Vice President of the Republic  and the President himself who they have petitioned. He said the rather inaction is resulting in the serial killings and unrest at Prampram.

    Leadership of the three gates has therefore appealed for assistance to end the unrest in Prampram. Find attached copies of the petition and the statement.

    “Is this Ignorance or total Stupidity?” He quizzes. According to Bright Botchway, our democracy is in shambles, looking at what was happening.  He further pointed out that withdrawing the military men from the Speaker of Parliament,  Hon. Rt. Alban Bagbin security details the act itself was unprofessional even to the extent of making the letter publish for public consumption is questionable.

     “The formal way the clerk of Parliament used to request for military men, the same administrative way can be used under quite without any unnecessary tension in the country ” he hinted. However,  Bright said, even the useless EC Chair, Jean Adukwei Mensah has soldiers carrying her handbag. This is just an open secret.

    “What kind of Precedent are we settling as a country?”Hence, from day one Bright Botchway knew the Ghana Armed Forces as a body that command respect in the country and the whole world and things that will subject them to public ridicule shouldn’t be allowed to exhibit as if they are under duress to impress any political heads. 

    The Deputy Central Regional Youth Organiser of Operation made reference to other countries like United Kingdom,  United States of America with Joe Biden Boris Johnson leading will by now make all security heads resign from duty voluntarily.

    Th Despair State of NABCO Trainees Over Their Unpaid Allowances Is having Adverse Mental Health On Them: Government Must Pay Them Now

    Open Letter To:The Chief Of Staff.Labour And Employment Minister.

    MENTAL HEALTH Authority CEO.The Security Agencies.

    The scripture says “a hand that does not work should not eat” also, “a lazy hand brings poverty”, reasons despite the economic state of the country, everyone is trying hard to find something doing in order to survive and live.

    Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of NABCO TRAINEES since their last stipend was paid somewhere in August,2021.It is almost five 5 solid months now that NABCO TRAINEES received anything allowance, and when you happen to know and meet any of them, you will understand their state of DESPAIR and HOPELESSNESS.

    All NABCO TRAINEES went into and passed through the festive seasons without even coins in their pockets, most institutions too don’t regard them hence little annual food stuffs and coins they give to their staff, they were exempted, example is Cocobod , and others .

    Relationships have ended because young men have nothing to offer financially to their potential wives, many are not willing to lend them monies again since they have borrowed from all available sources and now left with daily insults from their families, lenders and friends .

    Those who are fortunate with rich family background and political links left the NABCO to secure for themselves jobs and personal businesses, but the rest are in dire need of their allowances to settle debtors .

    *I am appealing to the government and the afforementioned institutions to help work on them before the rate of suicides ,homicides and many social vices take over our country.*

    No man can work productively with unstable state of mind , fear, panic and anxiety. Please, have mercy on them and pay them so they can as well have some lucid intervals before they suffer another months of that again. NABCO TRAINEES are dying slowly psychologically and physically, and government should not take it lightly.

    NPP Searching For Charges to Prosecute Alban Bagbin, A Sign of Desperation

    5/1/22
    BY: GODWIN AKO GUNN

    It remains a pride to enter public service and retire with no blemish. It becomes even better when people who worked against you rise in honor of your achievements and say in their hearts, we tried everything but you stood tall.

    Being a speaker at a time when you didn’t have the majority, nor the norminee of the president, takes something more than political backing of the minority. It takes personal character, achievements and people’s trust over the years to do it.

    I have heard members of parliament on both sides singing his praise, father ooo father. This can only come with hard work and perseverance.

    May I use this opportunity to humbly ask our members of parliament to guard their lives with all diligence. You are our pride and the only check on the free spending and looting NPP government.

    The NPP government will do everything possible to reduce our numbers by foul means.May we at the constituency level, also have the wisdom to protect what we have as we pray for more in the days ahead.

    Comrades, I laughed out loud when I heard the Attorney General has bought a new broom to reach out to every corner of the offices and ministries the RT Hon Alban Bagbin ever worked since independence to prosecute him along with some members of parliament.

    Hon, the Prince of this world comes against you, but he has nothing in you. I love what 2022 brings along. Our elders say when the mouse becomes desperate and destructive, it falls into oil. I see Nana getting there this year.

    I thought Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo sent his Nephew Gabby to JM. I thought Nana Addo sent for Hon Haruna Iddrisu to appeal to him and other leaders of the party!!!

    Thank God the line was drawn straight and clear to him !!! When persuasion fails, prosecution must be applied. Hahahahhahaaaa !!!

    I love the unity, strength and cooperation from the minority side in parliament. I will salute you any day for the tenacity you have shown and I know bigger things are ahead of us. Let me humbly appeal to those who also make negative headlines with the least opportunity to attack our MPs, even when they are told it is a misleading story. That is not the spirit of comradeship.

    But for the advisers of the president, I weep for you. This is the time to wear a wisdom cap not an arrogant one. At this time where your ministers in parliament are going up and down locally and internationally, you shouldn’t be flexing muscle.

    I love the heart warming warning from my general secretary on the 40th anniversary of the 31st Dec revolution. Whenever impunity becomes law, resistance becomes a duty. What a tone for ALUTA CONTINUA!!! To the oppressor, i say sorry, your days are numbered. To the oppressed, I say better days ahead.

    Clad in red and black, the protestors wielded placards with varying inscriptions including ‘#FixOurE-levyNow’, ‘A new 2022 budget now’ and ‘If Ghana was your personal property, would you run it like this?’, and several others.

  • 1.7% applicable rate to be charged on all electronic transaction

    1.7% applicable rate to be charged on all electronic transaction

    The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has indicated that government will place a levy on all electronic transactions, known as the Electronic Levy, as a means of widening the tax net.

    According to him, it has become clear that there is an enormous potential to increase revenue from taxes by bringing into the tax bracket transactions being undertaken in the informal sector.

    He indicated that COVID-19 contributed to the acceleration of the digitalization drive of Africa and data from the Bank of Ghana has shown a growing trend in online trade thus increasing the value of digital transactions from February 2020 and February 2021 alone to 120%.

    He made the declaration on the floor of parliament while delivering the 2022 budget and  fiscal policy statement on Wednesday, November 17, 2021.

    The budget presentation  is in line with Article 179 of the 1992 constitution.

    Addressing members of parliament, the finance minister said that, “after considerable deliberations, government has decided to place a levy on all electronic transactions to widen the tax net and rope in the informal sector. This shall be known as the “Electronic Levy or E-Levy.”

    He continued that “electronic transactions covering mobile money payments, bank transfers, merchant payments and inward remittances will be charged at an applicable rate of 1.75%, which shall be borne by the sender except inward remittances, which will be borne by the recipient”.

    Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta was quick to note that portions of the proceeds from the E-Levy would be used to support entrepreneurship, youth employment, cyber security and road infrastructure.

    He stated that the “electronic tax is one and we shall all pay”
