    Government to cushion Asante Kotoko ahead of CAF Champions League competition

    President Akufo Addo has pledged to offer support to Asante Kotoko ahead of their 2020/21 Caf Champions League campaign.

    The Porcupine Warriors were given the nod following the cancellation of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season.

    The Ghana Premier League giants have been paired against the Mauritanian club, FC Nouadhibou in the preliminary stages of the 2020/21 CAF Champions League.

    Kotoko will travel away to Mauritania for the first leg against FC Nouadhibou at the Stade Cheikha Ould Boïdiya before the Mauritanians make the journey to Ghana for the second leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.

    “It is difficult for Ghana football to succeed unless Kotoko succeeds. That’s how it has been in the past and that’s how it should be in the future,” Akufo Addo said.

    “Kotoko a very special, cherished and enviable role in Ghanaian Sports development.

    “Clearly it’s possible the Government should be able to assist the club, these will be temporary measures over a period of time, a year or two. Ultimately the club should be self-sufficient, generating money for keeping the club going.

    “We will put our heads together to see what can be done to assist, through the minister of sports.

    “I think it’s in the interest of Ghana to have a strong participation to fly the flag of Ghana,” he added.

  • Don’t bury Jerry John Rawlings at Asomdwe Park – Kyiri Abosom warns

    Don’t bury Jerry John Rawlings at Asomdwe Park – Kyiri Abosom warns

    Popular prophet and the leader of Ghana Union Movement (GUM) has cautioned the state and family of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings against burying the statesman at Asomdwe Park.

    Christian Kwabena Andrews, popularly known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, told journalists that during a visit to Mr Rawlings to introduce his party sometime this year, the former President mentioned specifically that he did not want to the buried at that cemetery.

    Asomdwee Park is Ghana’s first presidential mausoleum and the burial ground of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.

    “The day I visited him at his residence before he died, he told me something that I intend to pass on to his family and the state. He told me he is praying for me to win and that if I win and he passes away, I should make sure that he is not buried at the presidential mausoleum. He told me he doesn’t want to be buried there,” Osofo Kyiri Abosom said in Twi.

    “Rawlings told me he wants to be buried at a different place. So I will tell his wife [Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings]. I even have a recording of this on video. I can show it to you,” Kyiri Abosom told Journalists after arriving at the Rawlings’ residence to condole with the family.

    The GUM leader explained that although the late former President did not specify where he would like to be buried, his hometown in the Volta Region, in his view, would be a good resting place.

    He said Mr Rawlings even joked that he will haunt him [Kyiri Abosom] if he allows his body to be interred at the presidential mausoleum.

    Talking about his campaign, he said he has the charisma and courage to lead Ghana like Mr Rawlings did and urged Ghanaians to vote for him on December 7, 2020.

    He described the late President as a selfless and courageous statesman.

  • NDC will bury Rawlings, Akufo-Addo must stop ‘hijack’ attempts – Asiedu Nketia

    NDC will bury Rawlings, Akufo-Addo must stop ‘hijack’ attempts – Asiedu Nketia

    The General Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) says President Akufo-Addo should not “hijack” the burial activities of late former President Jerry John Rawlings.

    Johnson Asiedu Nketia stated that the party would not be treated as a guest when it comes to the funeral arrangement of its founder.

    “Everything about this funeral, so far, depicts an attempt by an opponent to hijack the funeral of the founding father of our political party, and we don’t think the funeral of our party founder ought to be organised somewhere, and we get invited,” he said.

    He added, “We have directed all branches of our party countrywide to organise events that will give a fitting celebration of the life of our founder. We will participate (in the national funeral) but that will not stop us from organising our own thing.”

    According to the NDC’s General Secretary, the president of the country and flagbearer of the NPP has failed to honour the late Rawlings as the founder of the opposition party in his commiseration to the bereaved family.

    “We were sorely disappointed that Akufo-Addo, even in issuing a statement of condolence, refused or failed to recognize the fact that President Rawlings was the founder of the NDC.

    “It is against all the different practices we have been engaged in, in the past, as far as the death of prominent members of the two political parties is concerned,” he added.

    His comments come after the demise of the first president of the Fourth Republic, Jerry John Rawlings on November 12, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after contracting the deadly Covid-19.

    After the demise of the founder of the party, an NDC delegation led by John Dramani Mahama visited the Rawlings’ family to share their condolences and also discuss the way forward.

    Several political parties including the NPP and the NDC have suspended all campaign activities in honour of the late President.

    President Akufo-Addo has also declared a 7-day national mourning period during which all flags will fly at half-mast in Mr Rawlings’ honour.

    He has also tasked the Chief of Staff and the Rawlings’ family to work together and complete plans for the burial of the late head of state.

  • It Is Time We Think Beyond NPP And NDC- CPP Running Mate

    It Is Time We Think Beyond NPP And NDC- CPP Running Mate

    Professor Emmanuel Yaovi Boboobi, running mate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) flagbearer, Mr Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, has urged Ghanaians to shift attention beyond the two major political parties to a third force for rapid development.

    He expressed worry about the level of mismanagement exhibited by both the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress, adding they only brought division among Ghanaians.

    Professor Boboobi said this when he met leadership and supporters of the Party at Akatsi during a day’s tour to the Volta Region.

    “It is time we look elsewhere, it is time we start thinking beyond the NDC and the NPP, It is time we reject parties built on structures that can only benefit a few, they have divided us, and in all these years of their rule, there has been no significant change in our well-being nor an improvement in the quality of our lives,” he said.

    He said the next CPP government would restore hope and dignity to all Ghanaians, and that there would be job security, food stability, oneness, among others.

    Professor Boboobi further said the CPP would prioritise agricultural activities reviving the collapsed factories built 63 years ago by Dr Kwame Nkrumah, founder of the CPP.

    He promised a multi-trillion dollar agricultural sector industry since the CPP was poised to institute a research centre for effective growth in all their key sectors of development.

    Mr Thomas Ntumy, the Volta Regional Chairman of the Party, asked the electorates to vote massively for the CPP, because things were going in the wrong direction of the country.

    “A vote for the CPP is a vote for yourself, we are also Ghanaians, Ghana is not for only a few people to enjoy,” he explained.

    Leadership of the Party during the visit, out-doored Mr Maxwell Atsah Nana, the Parliamentary candidate for Akatsi South on the ticket of the CPP.

    Mr Atsah in his message to supporters of the Party, indicated “it is time we realise that “our challenges as a nation will not be addressed by NPP nor NDC, our struggle will continue to defeat us if we don’t liberate ourselves from this oppression”.

    He urged all to promote peace during these period of campaign activities.

    Other Party executives present include, Rashid Also, the Oti Regional Chairman, Musah Michael, Volta Regional Organiser, Mr Aaron Tetteh Agbenu, Volta Regional Secretary.

  • Rawlings’ Death: Zanetor Will Get Sympathy Votes – Ben Ephson

    Rawlings’ Death: Zanetor Will Get Sympathy Votes – Ben Ephson

    The death of former President Jerry Rawlings will be to the advantage of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Klottey Korle constituency of the Greater Accra region.

    According to him, the daughter of the late President, Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings, who is the Member of Parliament for the area, will get sympathy votes. The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is seeking to snatch the seat from the NDC in the December general election.

    The NPP’s candidate, Prince Appiah Debrah, the party argued, has studied to show himself approved for the job.

    The ruling party has intensified campaign in the constituency to unseat the NDC candidate.

    But pollster Ben Ephson said the painful and sudden death of former President Rawlings will change the dynamics in the Klottey Korle constituency.

    He explained that, given his influence in Ghana’s body politic and in that constituency in particular, “Zanetor will enjoy sympathy votes”.

    “Rawlings has a sense of humour and I believe his daughter Zanetor will get sympathy votes,” he added.

    However, Mr Ephson said the NDC, led by its presidential candidate, John Mahama, which is seeking re-election, might not benefit much from Mr Rawlings’ death.

    Kumasi to get modern Police hospital

    Mr. James Oppong Boanuh, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), has laid the foundation stone for the construction of a 50-bed capacity Regional Police Hospital in Kumasi.

    The Hospital, which is expected to be completed in August next year, will help ease pressure on the only existing and reliable Police Hospital in the capital, Accra.

    Mr Oppong Boanuh, speaking at the ceremony at the Police Training School in Patasi in the Kumasi metropolis, indicated that, the project was initiated by COP Mr. Nathan Kofi Boakye, a former Ashanti Regional Police Commander but was stalled due to lack of funds.

    The two-storey facility is estimated to cost GHS 8,300,000.00.

    Mr. Oppong Boanuh mentioned that the project was being funded from interest accrued from contributions of Police Officers’ welfare scheme.

    Police Officers with various expertise in building construction are going to be engaged in the construction of the project and they would be supervised by the projects department of the Service.

    It will be run as part of the police Hospital with the Police Medical Director seeing to its day to day management.

    The IGP commended COP Kofi Boakye for initiating the project, adding that, the construction of the Hospital had come at a good time.

    On the upcoming general elections, he assured Ghanaians of the security agencies’ readiness to police the ballots, and ensure that lives and properties were protected before, during, and after the elections.

    Mr. Simon Osei Mensah, Ashanti Regional Minister, urged workers on the project to expedite actions to help complete it on the stipulated time.
