President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo has been urged to rescind his decision to put up a National Cathedral he claims to be doing for God.
According to Apostle Dirl Airl King Marshal, God is never in agreement to the President’s decision hence the need to boycott that idea and focus on other important matters.
The founder and leader of the Soldiers of Christ Prayer Group of All Churches however cautions Prophet Reindoff Oduro aka Eagle Prophet to shut up from causing fear and panic to people who disagree to the Cathedral idea.
Apostle Airl Marshal also adds that the President’s decision to release Akuapem Poloo from prison despite several cautions from God, coupled with other issues is going to cause the nation a lot.
The man of God finally reveals that God is very angry at the rate at which ministers are prevented from operating in schools, by indicating that there’s the need to open doors for such ministers to get back to the school rooms.

She said most often, victims failed to report such issues due to societal norms and threats.
Mrs. Zakiya gave the advice in a press conference today in Accra following the recent spike of domestic violence against women and series of murder cases on women in the country.
She indicated that most often, victims of domestic violence or all forms of abuse were not reported to DOVVSU for fear that the perpetrators, particularly men, would be prosecuted or jailed.
She explained that it was not so because prosecuting or jailing the wrongdoers who were members of the family would aggravate the matter.
The Chief Commissioner said the unit rather invited the perpetrators to solve the issues through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to bring peace and harmony in the affected family.
When you come to us, tell us what exactly you want us to do for you because we are always there for you, do not be afraid”, she stated.

Flashback: I’ll build Ghana from bottom-up – Akufo-Addo
Ahead of the 2016 presidential elections, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo, promised electorates that he was going to adopt a bottom-up approach in his government when elected.
He noted that his plan was going to ensure that the national cake was distributed fairly. He again promised that no one will be left behind under his rule.
The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says the policies and programmes outlined by him so far are indicative of the fact that a future NPP government will employ the “bottom-up” approach to national development.
The bottom-up approach, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, means that local actors will participate in decision-making, and in the selection of the priorities to be pursued in their communities. This, he noted, will achieve balanced national development, creating wealth and prosperity for all Ghanaians, without discrimination.
Pre. Nana Ado
“We are going to build our country from the bottom-up. That is why we’re talking ‘1-District-1-Factory’, ‘1-Village-1-Dam’. We’re building Ghana from the bottom-up, so that we can get everybody involved,” Akufo-Addo said at a mammoth rally in the Bunkpurugu constituency, in the Northern region.
At the same rally, the party’s vice presidential candidate, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, also unveiled the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), which seeks to draw US$275 million per year from the nation’s capital expenditure budget, out of which each of the 275 constituencies will receive the equivalent of US$1 million each per year, to tackle issues relating to infrastructural development and poverty eradication in rural and deprived communities across the country.
With thousands defying the rain to listen to Nana Akufo-Addo’s message of hope, the NPP flagbearer assured residents of Bunkpurugu and its environs of addressing the concerns put forward by the Paramount Chief, Alhaji Naba Abuba Nasimong.
The Bunkpurugu Chief, in his interaction with Nana Akufo-Addo, stated that their concerns were the construction of the deplorable roads leading to and within Bunkpurugu; the conversion of an inadequate clinic into a district hospital to serve more effectively the health needs of the peoples of the Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo district; and a refurbishment of the rundown secondary schools in the area. He stressed that the needs outlined were for the improvement of the living conditions of his people and not for his own benefit.
The NPP flagbearer assured residents that “I commit myself that if God favours me in December, we’re going to do to all these things to bring up Bunkpurugu”.
With this year’s election being his third attempt at the Presidency, Nana Akufo-Addo appealed for the support of residents, stating that “I want your support so we can go into Jubilee House and bring prosperity to all parts of Ghana.
“Ghana is not a poor country. We are not a poor people. It is poor government that has brought us to where we are. We are looking to come to office to put in place policies that will bring about the revival of our nation, and, for that, we need your support so that in December this year, all of us will say to John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic, goodbye.”
Nana Akufo-Addo also visited the Nalerigu/Gambaga constituency, where he appealed for the support of the Nayiri, the great and highly respected King of Mamprugu, Naa Bohogu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga II, and also urged residents to elect Hajia Alima Mahama as their Member of Parliament, so as to help bring into fruition the NPP’s programme of development for the constituency.
Pre. Nana Ado
The NPP flagbearer’s final stop was at midnight, in the Walewale constituency, where he addressed residents of Kparigu, assuring them that his government will help establish a watermelon processing factory in the district, which, will amongst others, help create jobs and bring prosperity to the district.
“I am not one to make promises I know I cannot keep, all in the name of getting votes. I have too much love and respect for Ghanaians to make promises which I cannot fulfill. I will never do that,” he reassured.
Chinderi District Police Command in the Oti Region has arrested five Fulani suspects for allegedly kidnapping two Fulani minors, aged 12 and 16, respectively.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), John Nchor, Public Relations Officer (PRO), Oti Region, in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency said on July 31, 2021, the Chinderi District Command received a distress call from one Ali Mohammed that his sons sent his cattle for grazing and had not returned.
The statement said Mohammed later informed Police that, the eldest of the two, escaped at Malla, a village near Borea, while being taken to an unknown destination.
It said preliminary investigations led to the arrest of three suspects – Sule Kassim, 28, Sameko Kaduna, 28, and Kassim Koron,18 at Chinderi on August 1, 2021.
According to the statement the alleged kidnappers who were holding the 12-year-old boy captive, made a contact demanding a ransom of GHC200,000.00 before they would free him.
It said on August 2, this year “three patrol teams drawn from Oti Regional Police Operational Unit and detectives led by Supt. E. Osei-Agbogah, the Counter-Terrorism Unit from the Police Headquarters, Accra, and a patrol team from Kete Krachi Divisional Police were dispatched to Chinderi to assist the District Police Command to rescue the victim and apprehend the captors”.
The statement said on August 3, the three suspects arrested were arraigned before Kete Krachi Magistrate Court, presided over by Mr Ben Attobrah, and were remanded into police custody to reappear on August 17.
It said the Police team co-opted the support of the Youth of Monkra and the Hunters Club for credible information and through Police-Public Corporation, the second victim was rescued at Techiakura, a village near Ehiamankyene in the Krachi West District on August 9, at about 0124 hours.
The statement said two suspects- Gariba Mbonge, 20, and Sanda Abubakar, 27, all Fulanis were arrested, however, three suspects bolted upon realizing that the Mbonge and Abubakar were apprehended.
It said a sharp cutlass, four assorted mobile phones with sim cards used to demand the ransom were retrieved from the suspects.
According to the statement the two were also arraigned before the same Court and remanded into police custody to reappear on August 17, while a man-hunt is ongoing for the other three.
Ghana is expected to earn billions of dollars from some six identified tree crops in the next decade.
The six crops including oil palm, cashew, coconut, rubber, shea and mango have the potential to generate $2 billion each annually to compete with cocoa and coffee in foreign exchange earnings.
However, because sectors of these crops have not been regulated for years, the country has next to nothing to show for same.
Disclosing this in an interview with Joy Business at the opening of a two-day workshop on regulation for the sectors at Prampram, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Tree Crop Development Authority (TCDA), William Quaitoo said “Cocoa brings in about $2 billion annually and President Akufo-Addo has charged TCDA to develop the sectors to earn same if not more in 10 years due to huge demand on the international market”.
Through the workshop, TCDA with the support of its partners is taking technical proposal from actors who are experienced on the field to bring to fore what can be done to regulate the sectors.
The proposed regulation will go to cabinet and then sent to parliament before it becomes binding for all stakeholders within production of the six crops to follow.
This process is expected to be completed latest by December, 2021.
The regulations, according to him will provide key and fine details of TCDA Act 2019 (ACT 1010) which mandates the authority to regulate and develop the six tree crops.
By regulating these sectors, the country will avoid instances where produce or products are banned on the international market for one violation or another.
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of TCDA in charge of Operations, Forster Boateng was particularly happy the authority is using an inclusive approach.
According to him, stakeholders put together for the workshop were from drawn from academia, private sector, civil society organizations among others.
About how TCDA would become an effective institution, he said the composition of its board and how useful lessons will be picked from other institutions will go a long way to help carry out its mandate.
“TCDA is expected to make huge impact as the private sector has about 25 members on the 29-member board which is first of its kind,” Mr. Boateng indicated
Meanwhile, Proforest is providing technical assistance and funding for the workshop, having played a major role in the processes leading to the passage of TCDA Act.
Senior Project Manager at Proforest, Africa, Afua Serwah Prempeh said commodity production can help economies but it must be done sustainably.
“Even though commodity production can help economies, there are negative externalities that may come out of it including infringement on human right and environmental problems,” she said.
Proforest’s engagement with private sector and government ensures that outcomes of their actions do not have negative impact on others.
The Ministry of Food and Agriculture, IFC and other stakeholders are committed to helping Tree Crop Development Authority get the regulation and subsequent development done.
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has begun administering the Johnson and Johnson vaccines.
The Manager of Expanded Programme on Immunization, Dr Kwame Amponsah Achiano in an interview on JoyNews’ AM Show Friday, said the exercise will begin in the Ashanti Region today, August 13, whilst that of Greater Accra Region will commence on Monday, August 16.
A total of 11 districts in the Greater Accra and Ashanti Regions have been selected by the Service for the vaccination exercise.
Clarifying, Dr Achiano said seven districts in the Greater Accra Region and four in the Greater Kumasi Metropolis have been chosen.
“You know, if you have 177, 600 vaccines to share, you have to be strategic. So, we are going to the most desired and impacted. It is not something we will spread across.
“If we spread across, it is not going to help. So we considered districts that are considered to be hotspots,” he told host Israel Laryea.
Asokwa, Kumasi Metropolitan, Kwadaso and Oforikrom are District Assemblies selected by GHS to receive the vaccines in the Ashanti Region.
In the Greater Accra Region; Ablekuma Central, Accra Metropolitan, Adentan, Ga South, OkaiKwei North, Tema Metro, and Kpone Katamanso have been selected.
Dr Achiano further added that people who received the AstraZeneca vaccine are exempted from this vaccination exercise.
Government took delivery of the 177, 600 doses of the vaccines on Saturday, August 7, as part of the first batch of the Africa Union’s African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT).
So far, 405,971 have been fully vaccinated by receiving both doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, whilst 865,422 have received only the first dose.
Ghana has confirmed 109,022 cases of the virus, and currently has 6,765 cases with 892 deaths.
The Jean Mensah-led Electoral Commission has directed the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to table its proposed electoral reforms before the Interparty Advisory Committee (IPAC) for dialogue.
The Commission said it is open to suggestions and feedback to enhance the country’s electoral process but insists IPAC is the appropriate forum for such suggestions.
The directive was after the EC took delivery of the NDC’s proposals.
“We don’t deal with individual parties, and IPAC is designed to promote multi-party views, so IPAC is the right forum for such discussion.
“So we responded to their proposals and asked the party to bring it to IPAC,” it said.
The Commission further explained the decision to ask the NDC to table its suggestion before IPAC was arrived at during a top Management meeting over the suggestions.
But the EC also observed that some of the suggestions captured in the NDC’s proposal go beyond its mandate.
It argued that, “there are some of the issues which are constitutional matters and that would require constitutional amendments and execution from the executive arm of government.”
Some of the issues the Commission listed as not being part of their mandate include, among others.
1. Specially-designated courts should be appointed exclusively for electoral disputes and offences before, during and after registration of voters and elections.
2. Split the EC into two separate bodies, namely an Office for the Regulation of Political Parties (ORPP) and an Electoral Commission (EC) by amending the Political Parties Act, 2000, Act 574.
3. Provide for prior parliamentary approval for the appointment of EC members.
But the commission, says the suggestions which have a direct nexus on their operations would be looked at.
“The Electoral Commission always wants to be the best, and so we are for anything that would enhance the electoral process.
“When the NDC finally submits its electoral reforms to IPAC, we will look at the issues holistically and decide on them.”
The Commission added, “Regional collation centres in our own estimations were good, and that would have been continued-nevertheless if there’s an opportunity to improve, it would be available to do so.”
There has been some form of confusion as to whether or not a landlord should grant a tenant grace period to vacate premises after the expiry of the tenancy agreement.
Many tenants say they are entitled to such an arrangement while they find a new place.
However, the Public Relations Officer at the Rent Control Department, Emmanuel Hovey Kporsu, speaking on JoyNews’ AMShow, said such a claim is a misconception as there is no such provision in the rent laws.
“This notion in the minds of tenants that when you are being evicted, you should be given three months grace period is not in our laws,” he said.
According to him, a landlord owes no tenant any grace period, let alone permitting the tenant to stay for the period on free rent.
“So there’s no free rent, and there’s no grace period,” he said on Thursday.
He added that Section 31 of the Rent Law indicates that, “nothing should prevent the landlord from collecting his rent from any tenant.”
Mr Kporsu wondered why a landlord would pay their annual or property rate, only for a tenant after the rent period to say, “I should divide that property rate into how many sections, then give you three months free, who is going to pay for that.”
Rented house
The PRO, however, explained: “The scenario is that if you’ve come to stay on somebody’s premises and you want to dwell in for a year, getting to the third or second month to the end of your tenancy, you should start a conversation, start talking to the landlord whether you will renew it or you want to vacate.”
He further noted that the engagement will afford the landlord, since he is a commercial venture, also to start looking for somebody to come and dwell in the room when the incumbent tenant moves out.
“But you wait till the end of your tenancy before you go to the landlord or you run to the Rent Control Department that you want grace period and then also that the grace period must be free, this as I said, there’s no grace period, and there’s no free rent,” he stressed.
Mankyia Palace Finally Breaks Silence on Rev. Obofour Enstoolment
The Founder and Leader of Anointed Palace Chapel (APC) Worldwide and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sweet TV, Reverend Francis Antwi, popularly known as Rev Obofour was recently enstooled as Chief of the Asantes in Sempe, James Town Accra. He is now given a new title as Nii Adotei Gyata I.
Some Ghanaians have congratulated him on his new position while others said that a true man of God cannot become chief because of certain traditional rites you will be compelled to perform. Rev. Francis Antwi is from the Ashanti Region and before agreeing to a chieftaincy position in Accra, he was supposed to notify the King of the Asantes but that according to Manhyia Palace was not done.
Oheneba Media, in an interview with Teacher Sarfo Kantaka, an Elder who teaches culture and languages for Manhyia Palace shared his view of Rev. Obofour’s new title in Accra. According to him, any group of Asantes living in different towns or countries can form an Asante group but not without the knowledge of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
During Akwasidae or Wukudae, you and your group have to notify the chief linguist that a group in Accra will like to greet the Asantehene so that if in the future a Chief in Accra will like to uplift you as a Chief of the Asantes, the King of Asante, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II will be aware.
Teacher Sarfo Kantaka added that if you do not go through this process and later something happens, who are you going to explain to. You are not a Ga man but an Asante man and you are taking this position in the name of Asantes. In view of that, Rev. Obofour should have consulted Manhyia Palace first before accepting the new chieftaincy position in Accra. This is because his title has something to do with the Asante Kingdom, thus Nii Adotei Gyata I (the King of the Asantes in Accra).
• French ambassador to Ghana was under fire last week for meeting an anti-LGBTQ+ MP
• She hosted MP Sam Nartey George on her TV program, Touch of France
• Pro-LGBTQ+ activists were unhappy that she hosted a homophobe
The French ambassador to Ghana, Anne Sophie Ave, has apologized to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) advocates for hosting Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam Nartey George, on a TV show last week.
Ambassador Ave was forced to delete social media postings she shared of her meeting with Sam Nartey George on the “Touch of France,” show.
It turned out that a number of pro-LGBTQ+ activists were dissatisfied that an ambassador will host a public figure who was promoting a law against what they say is a sexual orientation that France supports.
In the midst of the backlash, she locked her account and according to activists, went on a blocking spree of all persons who lambasted her for the incident. She has since unblocked her tweets and has also issued an apology for hosting the controversial MP.
Her August 9 apology via Twitter read in part: “The French embassy in Ghana and Touchoffrance.gh promote France and the actions of France in Ghana. Our guests are ppl with an experience of France, and of FR Ghana relations, to share.
“Hosting MP S George was based on these sole criteria. I understand this has created a perception that we offered a platform to anti-LGBTQIA+ ideas: this is not the case at all. However, some people have felt offended and I wish to apologise for that.”
Sam Nartey George has become the face of a new anti-LGBTQ+ bill which is currently before Parliament.
He recently had an altercation with the Australian ambassador to Ghana, Gregory Andrews, who he accuses of being a champion of the gay rights movement in Ghana despite his actions being against the Geneva Convention.
