Newly born Babies Will Receive ¢200 each and I will Make universities free for all- Kofi Akpaloo

Flag bearer of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo has disclosed that he will give newly born babies ¢200 each and also make universities free for all.

In an exclusive interview monitored by browngh, Akpaloo said that should Ghanaians vote him to power as the president, he will implement a policy which will benefit children below 18 years.

“We[LPG] are going to do things differently from the way NPP and NDC has been handling this economy.

One major thing we’re going to introduce is the child benefit; every child below 18 years will receive a monthly allowance of Ghc200, and if you’re lucky to have twins then they will receive GHc300 each ” Mr Kofi said.

He furthered that, the initiative he will implement will go a long way to help to stimulate the economy to generate demand activities so that whenever there is a production of goods people will have the funds to purchase.

Mr Kofi Akpaloo was of the view that his ‘soon to be put into operation’ policy will eventually serve as a job creation opportunity for all to also enjoy life.

Asked what he will do differently from other political parties that will inform the decision of the electorates to give him their vote, Kofi Akpaloo again stated that his party aside from the Child benefits which focuses on children below 18 will also not leave the adults behind.

According to him, the LPG is going to give unemployment benefits to persons above the ages of 18. He said this package comes with a monthly allowance of Gh400.

He was quick to add that though Gh400 is not any money it’s better to survive on that than to have nothing and worst of it all be dependant on others.

Coronavirus: Belgium facing ‘tsunami’ of new infections

Belgium could soon be overwhelmed by new coronavirus infections, the health minister has warned, amid soaring case numbers across the continent.

Frank Vandenbroucke said new cases were close to a “tsunami” where authorities “no longer control what is happening”.

New measures to try to halt the spread came into force on Monday. All bars and restaurants are closed for four weeks.

Infection numbers are climbing throughout Europe, prompting new restrictions across the continent.
Belgium was one of the worst-hit countries during Europe’s first wave of coronavirus earlier this year.

Overall it has the third-highest number of Covid-related deaths per 100,000 people globally, behind only Peru and San Marino, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

From Monday, under new government restrictions designed to tackle the fresh outbreak, residents will only be allowed to see one other person from outside their household and should work from home if possible.

A curfew is in place from midnight until 05:00 for the next month and alcohol sales are banned from 20:00.
Mr Vandenbroucke described the situation in the capital Brussels and in the south of the country as “the most dangerous in all of Europe”.

The government “has only one message to the public: protect yourself, protect your loved ones, so as not to be contaminated”, he told broadcaster RTL.
Health Minister Adam Niedzielski said that other major cities were also working to set up new hospitals. The country was preparing “for the worst-case scenarios – such as 15,000 or even 20,000 new infections” each day, he said.

Government officials have urged people to stay at home, ordered restaurants to reduce opening hours and told universities and secondary schools to teach online.

The head of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, went into self-isolation on Monday after coming into contact with an infected person.
Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlicek said on Sunday the government would wait until restrictions show an impact before considering a full lockdown.

“We have clearly said we will wait [until November] for results,” he said.

In Prague about 2,000 football fans – including militant supporters known as ultras – clashed with police on Sunday during demonstrations against the restrictions.
