      According to Rev. Eric Tweneboah Kodua, a consultation fee is not the right way that a pastor should use to collect money from his or her church members.

    Rev. Eric Tweneboah Kodua

      What do pastors and prophets use consultation fees for? – he asked.

    Some pastors and prophets use that money for luxurious cars and buildings of mansions.

      Pastors and prophets should not even charge consultation fees. They can use tithe and offering to do whatever will help the church.

      Consultation fee is not biblical- he added.

    The US has carried out a drone strike on the Islamic State (IS) group in eastern Afghanistan, killing a member of the group, military officials say.

    The operation targeted a “planner” from the IS-K group in Nangahar Province.

    IS-K said it had carried out an attack in Kabul on Thursday that may have killed as many as 170 people, including 13 US troops.

    The US said “initial indications” suggested the strike had killed the IS target, and no civilians had died.

    President Joe Biden promised on Friday to hunt down the jihadists behind Thursday’s suicide bombing.

    IS-K, or Islamic State Khorasan Province, which said it had carried out the attack, is a branch of the Islamic State group.

    It is the most extreme and violent of all the jihadist militant groups in Afghanistan.

    The blast tore through crowds of men, women and children outside Kabul airport.

    Dozens of Afghans trying to leave the country were killed. In addition to the US personnel killed, two British nationals and the child of a British national were among the dead.

    “We will not forgive, we will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay,” Mr Biden warned the perpetrators on Friday.

    Roughly 5,000 US troops are still stationed at Kabul airport, processing Afghans desperate to leave.

    This is the first US drone strike reported in Afghanistan since Thursday’s blast.

    “The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target,” said Captain Bill Urban of Central Command. “We know of no civilian casualties.”

    A leading expert has warned an easing of restrictions has led Germany to the brink of a third wave. Intensive care doctors warn that partial lockdown measures must be put back in place.

    Intensive care doctors say some measures should be put back in place to avoid another resurgence

    The number of coronaviruses in Germany grew 20% in the past week, as lockdown restrictions are gradually eased, an expert at the Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases (RKI) said Tuesday.

    The figures were released as the country’s intensive care doctors warn of the need for an “immediate return” to partial lockdown to avoid a dangerous third wave of coronavirus cases.

    “We are exactly on the flank of the third wave. That can no longer be disputed. And, at this point, we have eased the restrictions and that is speeding up the exponential growth,” RKI epidemiologist Dirk Brockmann told German broadcaster ARD.

    Brockmann said the loosening of measures was particularly unhelpful given the exponential growth that has occurred with the British virus variant B117.

    “It has been totally been irrational to loosen up here. It’s just fueling this exponential growth.”

    German intensive care doctors on Monday warned that some measures should be put back in place to avoid another resurgence.

    “From the data we currently have and with the spread of the British mutation, we would argue strongly to return immediately into a lockdown to avoid a strong third wave,” Christian Karagiannidis, director of Germany’s intensive care register, told broadcaster RBB.

    The Director of the Kenya Anti-corruption Commission and Director of the Kenya School of Law as well as a Pan-Africanist, Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, in a zoom interview with Maxwell Nkansah stated how disappointed he is by the president of Ghana.

    According to him, the President of Ghana at the beginning of his tenure of office had the vision to uplift the country in terms of industrialization and development but so far there is nothing to show with growing tales of mismanagement.

    He then added that he wishes the President of Ghana could rebuild himself to becoming the enhanced President the country needs. Professor Patrick Lumumba also bemoaned the spectacle of the parliament of Ghana seeking the approval of payment for the presidential spouse.

    He further stated that the demonstration by the Ghanaian youth on the street of Accra, the capital city of Ghana evidently shows the frustration of voters and how tough life is becoming under the leadership of the Akufor Addo administration.

    He said, the president still has the intellectual fire powers of leadership but things haven’t been the way he rumored would go for him.

    In the course of the interview, Professor Lumumba’s opinion was asked whether the short-term implementation of the ECO currency is sustainable. “I believe the year duration of 3 to 4 years is short for the implementation of the new currency which will be used by the whole African continent.

    Prof. Patrick Otieno
    Prof. Patrick Otieno

    According to him, a maximum of 10 years should be used to implement the ECO currency due to the difference in economic conditions within various African countries to deal with their micro and macro-economic issues”. He added. He stated that this was the vision of the First President and the founder of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

    He said he held the view that it was far overdue for such steps to be taken and believed it will become one of the strong currencies in the world.

    The Pan-Africanist PLO Lumumba also lamented on seeing the Africa he loves with his heart having a continent that will be free from corruption. He further stated that in the course of fighting corruption, deliberate actions must be taken to combat corruption by making an example of those who participate in it.

    Loch Otieno Lumumba stressed the need to keep corrupt people out of office and harped on the need to strip public officials of any ill-gotten wealth while in the exercise of their duties.

  • The “Freed” Hawa Koomson Will be Prosecuted When We Gain Power – NDC Vowes

    The “Freed” Hawa Koomson Will be Prosecuted When We Gain Power – NDC Vowes

    The main opposition NDC has vowed to prosecute Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Hawa Koomson should the NDC return to power by 2025.

    A statement issued by the National Youth Organiser of the party, George Opare Addo threatened to reopen her case, investigate her and let her face the full rigours of the law.

    This comes after the Minister’s revelation in a recent interview that the criminal case against her for firing, gunshots in a public place without lawful authority has allegedly been dropped by the Police CID for want of evidence.

    But the NDC youth wing contends the Minister cannot escape the law under the next NDC government.

    “Since the acting IGP has decided to walk the Police administration down the destructive and despicable petty politicking path as his predecessor, the NDC Youth Wing calls on all Ghanaians to brace themselves for reality that the State cannot guarantee their safety. We, therefore, charge Ghanaians to fiercely protect and defend themselves when dealing with any element associated with the Addo/Bawumia government.

    Hawa Koomson “We also want to assure all Ghanaians that crime has no expiration date and come 2025 when the new NDC takes over the governance of our beloved country all those committing crimes against innocent Ghanaians will be properly investigated and everyone found culpable will be prosecuted.”

    The Minister for Fisheries Mavis Hawa Koomson during her vetting reiterated that the gun she used in the infamous gun shooting incident at Kasoa during the voter’s registration exercise was registered.

    She claimed although her action on that day was regrettable, she fired the warning shot in defence after feeling threatened while touring registration centres at Kasoa.

    “I’d want to put on record that the incident didn’t happen at the polling centre. It happened about 150 meters from the polling centre but I still regret it. I wish it never happened in our political history,”

    The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor says it’ll be in the interest of both the NPP and NDC if the Chairperson of Electoral Commission (EC) is subjected to Parliamentary approval.

    Speaking on Joy FM he said both parties have bemoaned the appointment EC Chairpersons by a ruling party.

    “We [NDC] are saying, let’s tighten the knot so that we will not have the case wherein future, we will have another President who will be abusive, authoritarian like President Akufo-Addo. So that, that person will not come and take advantage of the process,” Peter Otokunor said.

    According to him, it is long overdue that Mr. Mahama is not behind bars looking at the many corruption scandals that have been leveled against him.

    Speaking on the Boiling point show on Oman FM on Thursday, August 26, Mr. Akpaloo expressed shock as to why no punitive action has been taken against persons mentioned in the infamous Airbus saga.

    “If I was President I would have jailed him a long time ago”, Akpaloo said.

    Mr. Akpaloo revealed that other countries who were mentioned in the Airbus saga have jailed the key actors but in Ghana, Mr. Mahama who was fingered as Government Official one still walks a free man.

    He also lashed out at Mahama for telling Ghanaians to vote against the NPP because the Akufo-Addo led administration had stolen money hence retaining them will allow them to cover their tracks.

    In his view, this analogy by Mr. Mahama proves that he embezzled money during his reign as President.

    On this note, he urged the AG to find a charge against Mr. Mahama following his confession.

    A Vice President of Policy Think Thank IMANI Africa Kofi Bentil has hailed the ingenuity of the Vice President of Ghana Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the arbitration won by the Bank Of Ghana against Sitbon.

    The Bank of Ghana has won an arbitration brought against it by Sibton Switch Systems Limited (“Sibton Switch”) in relation to the termination of the Master Agreement for the Ghana Retail Payment Systems Infrastructure in 2017.

    This follows a ruling by a Tribunal constituted under the auspices of the London International Court of Arbitration (LCIA).

    On 28th July 2021, a panel of three distinguished arbitrators issued an award in favour of the Bank of Ghana in the LCIA arbitration, dismissing all the claims brought by Sibton Switch Systems Limited.

    Bawumia

    SEE ALSO: Dr. Bawumia & NPP Government Never Promise Free Cars to Okada Riders in 2020

    The claims were dismissed due to the failure by Sibton Switch Systems Limited to comply with the orders of the Tribunal including an earlier interim award made by the Tribunal on 25th of June 2019 in favour of the Bank of Ghana, which required Sibton Switch to make an interim award payment for the security of costs.

    The final award also orders Sibton Switch Systems Limited to pay to the Bank of Ghana in full, the costs of the arbitration, in respect of the Bank of Ghana’s legal fees.

    Reacting to the victory won by the Bank of Ghana, Kofi Bentil hailed the Vice President for his role in saving Ghana millions of taxpayer’s monies which were going to some undeserving pockets.

    He said in a post shared on Facebook that “Sibton Switch victory is proof that Dr. Bawumia is a gem. He saved us millions of dollars”.

    Background

    On the 9th of April 2018, Sibton Switch filed a Request for Arbitration with the LCIA against the Bank of Ghana for breaching the Master Agreement for the Ghana Retail Payment Systems Infrastructure entered into by the two parties.

    Following the 2016 elections and on the appointment of a new Management of the Bank of Ghana, it became necessary to review the terms of the contract entered into by the previous administration.

    In reviewing the contract, the new Management of the Central reached the conclusion that Sibton had neither acquired the license nor fulfilled the condition precedent for the effectiveness of the rights and obligations of the parties.

    The agreement, which dealt with the grant of exclusive rights to Sibton Switch to build, operate and own the Ghana Retail Payment Systems Infrastructure was therefore terminated on the basis that it never came into effect.

    The claimant, Sibton Switch, therefore went to the LCIA seeking relief in the sum of $478 million from the respondent, Bank of Ghana.
