The residents in the community says since the town came into existence the people have not witnessed a coated road before.
According to them in an interview with Silver FM, they said political figures always induce them with sugar-coated words to win their votes but abandon them after the election.
They said, the members in the community are die hard supporters for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) but has seen no development in the area especially constructing and coating of their deplorable road networks.
They were worried and furious that, authorities do not prioritise their concerns as they always play pranks to their grievances.
They disclosed that the situation has retarded the development of the community as it drives investors away adding that it also creates unfortunate news such as cutting short the lives of some pregnant women due to the road’s poor nature and it’s an inconvenience for transporting conceived women.
Adwumam is a farming community in the Kwabre East District of the Ashanti Region. During the 2020 general election, Kwabre East District emerged the highest area that gave the NPP highest percentage as far as numbers/figures are concerned.
But the people are lamenting rejection on the part of the party to adhere to their grievances and help solve them.
They’ve therefore vowed to spill out the beans if the powers that be fail to address their concerns this time.

Universities urged to train entrepreneurship oriented graduates than academicians who complete and look up to government for employment
A former Minister for Education Professor Christopher Ameyaw Akumfi who has been appointed as Board Chairman for Public Procurement Authority has urged Universities in Ghana to give more attention to entrepreneurship programs or courses than producing graduates who only complete schools and come to look up to the government or former sector for employment.
According to the NPP National Chairman hopeful, time has come for University students to come to the realization that hundreds of thousands of graduates are produced yearly but the job opportunities are limited therefore one should be able to do something with the knowledge acquired in school after completion instead of expecting employment.
Professor Ameyaw Akumfi gave this advice when he spoke in an interview with Peace News correspondent Nana Kwadwo Adu in Techiman during the SRC Week celebration of the Valley View University (VVU) under the theme, “the role of universities in fostering entrepreneurship to mitigate unemployment”.

Assembly Members at Techiman North District grateful to Prez Akuffo-Addo for quick release of motorbikes to aid their work
Nana Akuffo Addo
From the time of late President J. E. A. Mills that Ghana government in the year 2011 through the Ministry of Local Government & Rural Development introduced a policy to give each assembly member a motorbike during their four (4) year tenure to aid the discharge of their duties, the President Akuffo Addo led NPP administration’s era is the only time that these motorbikes have been released quite earlier or on time.
According to Hon. Yeboah Asuamah Daniel, Presiding Member for Techiman North District Assembly in the Bono East region, successive governments presented these motorbikes to Honorable Assembly members at a time their tenure had ended or coming to an end which did not meet its intended purposes.
Hon. Yeboah Asuamah made this observation when he spoke in an interview with Nana Kwadwo Adu at Tuobodom during a handing over of 35 motorbikes to all assembly members both elected and government appointees of the Techiman North District.
On behalf of the Techiman North DCE Hon. Peter Mensah, the Presiding Member advised his fellow assembly members to use the machines safely on our roads and for their intended purposes in order to bring development to the doorsteps of the grassroots or local electorates.

2024 elections will be won or lost at the polling station, so let your guards be on – Former Prez Mahama charges NDC supporters
Former President and 2020 flag bearer of the largest opposition party the National Democratic Congress (NDC) His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has charged his supporters to let their guards be on because the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections will be won or lost at the polling stations since the party will not resort to the Supreme Court to seek justice even if they know they have been cheated.
According to him, the Electoral Commission changed the true will of the People in the last elections by rigging the ballots for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Supreme Court too failed to deliver justice when they run to them, therefore, teaching the NDC a big lesson which they will put to practice come 2024.
His Excellency John Mahama made this disclosure when he stormed the Bono East regional capital Techiman Tuesday with his nationwide “Thank You tour” accompanied by his running mate Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, National Chairman Elder Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, and a host of high powered NDC delegation….
Meanwhile, . His Excellency John Mahama in separate meetings with Zongo Chiefs & Imams, the Catholic Bishop & Roman Church leadership, Regional House of Chiefs, and NDC sympathizers was very grateful to all in the Bono East region whom he called his “In-laws” for voting massively for him in the Presidential despite losing and increased the NDC’s Parliamentary seats from six (6) to eight (8)

The President made this pronouncement at Sefwi Akontombra when he paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Sefwi Akontombra on his two days tour in the Western North Region.
“As the MP and the Chief said that they want Hon Amoah Yawson to be maintained as DCE for Akontombra, I announce my first MMDCE appointment, Hon Amoah Yawson is my first DCE nominee, Nana Addo”
JOHN MAHAMA IS THE PROPRIETOR OF “CORRUPTION INSTITUTE OFGHANA”; WE’LL MAKE HIM CRY LIKE SIX MONTHS BABY COME 2024 GENERAL ELECTION-NPPYO TOMAHAMA.
The Firebrand New Patriotic Party Youth Organization(NPPYO) has chastised former President John Mahama over his accusations of corruption against the Akuffo Addo administration.
NPPYO has heavily descended on Mahama addressing him as proprietor of ” Corruption Institute of Ghana”(CIG) that rocked him down in the 2016 and 2020 general elections.
NPPYO indicated that Mr.Mahama has no moral justification to talk about corruption, let alone accuse the ruling party of the canker. Naming some alleged corrupt deals under the Mahama administration, NPPYO stated that these deals defined that administration.
“Is Mahama, of Government Official one infancy and the Ford vehicle from Kanazoe contractors, talking about corruption? Is that the same Mahama had these corruption scandals during his tenure of office; Judicial scandal, Alfred Woyome saga, Airbus scandal, Armajaro scandal, Saglemi housing scandal, Bus branding scandal, Gyeeda scandal, SADA scandal, NSS scandal, Brazil 2014 fiasco, and a lot of scandals can’t mention during his era talking about corruption?
Mr. Mahama should immediately come out and apologize to Ghanaians if not we will make him cry like six months baby come 2024.” John Mahama proved to be so corrupt that during his first as vice president, his boss late president Mills had cause to set up a committee to investigate the role played by him in the process leading to the acquisition of five aircraft, including Embraer 190 Aircraft and a hanger for the Ghana Armed forces”, NPPYO added.
Finally, NPPYO slams NDC for not to dare to talk about corruption matters again if not we will show the red cards to them.
The 20 Bundles of Roofing Sheets Sent to Bonakye on Wednesday 1ST SEPT Not A Gift From OTI Regional Minister But NADMO Donations
The Oti regional minister on last week Wednesday, September 1st, sent twenty(20) bundles of roofing sheets donated by NADMO for the entire region to support the good people of Oti region for a natural disaster(windbreak) that occurred across the region last year and government due to insensitivity and lack of resources could not support the affected victims which has rendered so many people houseless.
The twenty(20) bundles of the roofing sheets as a national cake from the taxpayer’s money are supposed to be fairly distributed across the entire region to support all the victims affected by the incident resulting in the demolition of their houses.
It is quite sad the regional minister of Oti region sent all these items to only one particular town and its environs within one particular constituency which is Nkwanta south constituency where he hails from.
The strange and shocking aspect of this unfair distribution of the national cake is that the regional minister is misleading his selected beneficiaries that, the donation is his personal gift for them, and not government initiative nor anyone.
The rationale behind the regional minister’s misleading the people of the region especially the people of bonakye about items procured and provided by the government with their own taxes remains unknown to everyone apart from him.
One will ask why should an unforeseen event like this happened across the region, affecting victims in places like Chinderi, Krachi, Dambai where he resides, Nkonya, Kadjebi, Jasikan, Likpe, and the environs of all these mentioned communities in the region which is not exhaustive, but the regional minister chose to prioritize one community to all the above-mentioned communities, and this is extremely strange in our political landscape, the Hon Minister needs to answer questions by telling the other communities why he chose to ignore them in this difficult times.
The selectiveness and cheap political prioritization of the Npp in governance is really affecting the fair spread of developmental facilities and opportunities to the benefit of all citizens, and the Oti regional minister seems already disappointing the entire people of the region just like his boss the president has disappointed everyone living in Ghana today.
The minister needs to know that, he is ministering over 8 constituencies for now until SALL is added to be 9 and for that matter, he ought to be fair and candid in his dealings, we in the NDC in Oti as his watchdogs with devoid of personal attack and of no malicious intention against him, will always ensure he is put on his toes to do the right thing, Oti region is already failing and we can’t allow that failure to continue.
Also, an intelligence has it that, the Hon Minister is already bidding for the Nkwanta South constituency MPship seat and that is why he is sacrificing the opportunities and national cake of other people and their communities in the region to only his potential voters and I think this is a premature political somnambulism and ejaculation and Mr. Minister need to relax and focus on his mandate for now, because the incumbent hardworking and very selfless MP. Hon Geoffrey Kini is already putting smiles and joy on the faces of the people, When the said event happened, the MP donated to the people more than twenty bundles of roofing sheets, hence twenty bundles of roofing sheets is a peanut to dream of using to induce or buy votes.
It is must be emphasised that, I have no malice motive or intentions against bonakye people benefiting from the minister, but my concern is about how the minister misled them about the ownership of the roofing sheets, claiming it to be his personal gift just for personal political credit, and also how it was unfairly distributed to benefit all in the region equally, the people bonakye will forever remain grateful and committed to the NDC and Hon Geoffrey Kini for our perpetual show of love, care and concern, the NDC will always ensure the people of bonakye are provided with the necessary social and economic developmental facilities and opportunities needed to live well.
As a citizen of the region, I’m ready to commend the Hon Minister if he does well and will not also hesitate to critique him like I’m doing when the need arises.
Hon Makubu’s appointment as the regional minister came has a joy to all of us in the region, believing he will solve or reduce our standing problems and ensure cohesion and fair governance in the region, but unfortunately, he seems disappointing us already, but he has more chance and space to seat up.

• Aisha also called out Tracey Boakye for wading into the beef
Actress Afia Schwarzenegger and talent manager, Aisha Modi, have rekindled their beef following a claim by Afia that Aisha is abusing drugs.
For months now, the two former friends, have in a series of posts, tried to tarnish each other’s reputation on social media with several allegations.
On Monday, September 6, Afia posted an image of Aisha from a recent event and stated that her (Modi’s) skin looked like “tie and dye left in a bucket of bleach.”
Also in a separate post, she alleged that Aisha who is popularly known as “She loves Stonebwoy” was doing drugs, this she added has taken a toll on her physical outlook.
She wrote: “1.7 billion pedicure n shoes. Say no to Drugs. I know she is coming live but VAWULENCE demand that madam evidence must show her face. I should have known all this was the Drugs Ayisha. Fellow Ghanaians forgive me for disturbing your peace. Ayisha I told you the Drugs will ruin you, ohhhh see your end. If I am lying come live n show ur face. Remember Ayisha in prayers.”
Her close friend, Tracy Boakye, in response asked Afia to “Be careful” adding “I now understand (with smiling emojis)”.
Some have stated that her comment was an indirect jab to Aisha who is caught up in a feud with her close ally.
Aisha Modi who couldn’t let things slide has also called out Afia Schwarzenegger who she says is living a fake celebrity life. She again warned Tracey to stop meddling in her affairs.
Aisha also posted an image of Afia without makeup and used unprinted words on the actress. According to her, Afia Schwar is the only woman on earth with stretch marks on her mouth.
Her post was captioned: “The world is sometimes funny. People who look like fermented kenkey wake up to talk about beauty. Only you in this world have stretch marks on your mouth, get a seamstress to do alterations on your big mouth. #Ape. I have ended ur blackmailing career. I have dared you to bring out your father!

WATCH: My biggest paycheck came from UTV – Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo
• Arnold says UTV offered him a huge amount of money for his services• Being an entertainment pundit in Ghana, he says, does not pay off
• Arnold discloses he’s been with civil aviation for over a decade
Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo has disclosed that the highest money he has ever earned as an entertainment pundit was given to him by United Television (UTV).
Arnold who is a regular panel member for the popular United Showbiz programme said although he has practised this profession for several years, it is until recently it started to pick up.
“First, we started this whole entertainment journalist thingy as a passion. But with time, it’s gradually picking up. My highest paycheck came from UTV and I won’t lie about it. Although the recognition for those of us in this profession is low, some of us are pulling our weights,” he stated in an interview with Delay.
Arnold has served as a pundit on various radio and television entertainment talk shows for years, including Peace FM’s Entertainment Review and GhanaWeb TV’s Bloggers’ Forum in his bid to contribute to discussions and shape narratives.
On a number of occasions, he has clashed with celebrities and fans of celebrities who were bruised by his remarks on a subject. Topmost among them is his encounter with Shatta Wale.
The dancehall artiste and the pundit were engaged in a near-fight during UTV’s United Showbiz programme sometime in June 2021. This was after Arnold described Shatta Wale as an inconsistent and confused artiste.
When asked whether he was under any form of pressure after Shatta Wale labelled him a poor entertainment journalist who rocks a GHC2.50p worth of shoe, Arnold said:
“I won’t let Shatta Wale subject me to any form of pressure. I’m not doing badly in life. I’m not in a rented apartment. I have my own place. For someone like me who has been working at the civil aviation for over ten years and I’ve been doing entertainment alongside, just use your discretion and see. I’m good.”
