The final date for the conduct of a DNA test to ascertain the paternity of all the three children of Mr and Mrs Asamoah Gyan has been fixed, MyNewsGh.com can confirm. We have all the details of the DNA test which comes off exactly four (4) days from today in a trusted private health facility in Accra, contrary to Mrs Gyan’s proposal. An earlier report we filed revealed how wife of Asamoah Gyan was proposing a police Hospital DNA test under CID supervision to ensure the results was not tampered with. Another proposal emerged for the test to be conducted abroad which was also not accepted. Reliable sources within the Gyan family told MyNewsGh.com how Asamoah Gyan finally admitted that he “ordered” his elder brother Baffour Gyan to file for the DNA request on his behalf as he was out of jurisdiction at the time, expressing worry about attacks on his brother as a “home-breaker”, eyeing his properties. It is not yet clear what “secret” evidence Asamoah Gyan and his brother Baffour Gyan have against Mrs Gifty Gyan regarding the paternity of the Asamoah’s three children, but the Gyan brothers have insisted that they are very sure they will be vindicated if the DNA test were conducted immediately, MyNewsGh.com was told. Currently, Gifty Gyan’s 2002 marriage of convenience for a Visa allegedly with the knowledge of the then Liberty Professionals player Asamoah Gyan, is the subject of a raging court battle between she and her husband of 5 years and fiancée of 11 years. They married in 2013 after they had dated for 11 years. She got pregnant in 2005 and gave birth to the player’s firstborn Frederick Asamoah Gyan who is son Asamoah Gyan says looked like 4×4’s Captain Planet and Prince David Osei combined. The Black Stars Captain is therefore praying the marriage court to wipe the marriage off the record (annulment) as if it never happened. So far, the DNA test which was supposed to take place on the 19th November, 2018 was rescheduled on the request of Baffour Gyan, acting on the authority of his brother Asamoah Gyan. The new date is now 26th December, 2018. Reliable sources within the family told MyNewsGh.com how Asamoah Gyan has reportedly refused to talk to Gifty or the three children since August when he filed for annulment in court. Already, it has been revealed that Asamoah Gyan only saw his children 2 or 3 times every year, when he visited them to take pictures to post on his social media or on their birthdays which he seldom made time for. He also visited his children and wife with a huge entourage everytime, making it impossible for the nuclear family to have quality time together which also contributed to the strain between the couple.   Source: mynewsgh.com

As part of efforts to achieve Ghana’s $10 billion dollar foreign direct investment (FDI) target for 2018, the country has in the past few weeks hosted different Trade Missions from a number of countries including Slovenia, Turkey and Belgium.   All the trade missions have made it an objective to first of all find local partners in Ghana, import their products and then subsequently consider setting up manufacturing plants in Ghana.   The latest trade mission to Ghana has over fifty Belgian companies from the three regions of Belgium namely Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels who are looking to exploit possible business partnerships during their visit to the country.   Some of the companies include A-Law International Law Firm, ACB Group, COMEXAS Group, Donaldson Filtration Solutions and Puratos among others.   The companies represent various sectors such as health, environment, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and construction.   The rest are energy, education, water supply, sanitation and Information Communication Technology (ICT). The Minister for Planning, Prof. George Gyan-Baffour, said at a forum that Ghana needs to engage the foreign trade missions with the full realization that it is competing with other countries in the West African sub-region.   “A lot of the foreign businesses want to come to West Africa, and the question is whether it will be Ghana or another West African country. So, it is up to us to let them know what the difference is between Ghana and the other countries so that Ghana becomes the destination of choice. We need continuously to have a government that is friendly to businesses and private sector in general, and that is how this government is trying to position itself. Once we are able to do that effectively we will get investors in.”   For one of the lead persons on the Belgium trade mission to Ghana, Johan Malin, who is a Project Manager at Flanders Investment and Trade, even though Ghana’s is a favored destination, other countries within the sub-region are also competing to take business away from Ghana.   “You start with exports and then eventually consider investments. Currently I know of two big companies who are looking at different West African countries to invest in. What I can say for certain is that Ghana is a stable destination for businesses.”   According to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade, Ghana’s Imports from Belgium was US$718.81 Million dollars during 2017, while Ghana’s Exports to Belgium was US$155.8 Million during 2017.   For Professor Gyan-Baffour Ghana will have to do all it can for now to position itself as the best investment destination in order to balance the trade numbers between the 2 countries.   “We have to showcase ourselves to these countries out there, mainly because they don’t know us very well. So, we have to market ourselves as an investment destination and not just in-terms of general trade. Currently we import everything, and that can’t be changed overnight. The best way forward will be to let these foreign missions to come and invest in Ghana so that whatever they want to export to other destinations especially to other West African countries, will be manufactured here.” Source: citinewsroom
