Speaking on Newsfile on JoyNews, he acknowledged that the Speaker acted within Order 34(2) of the new Standing Orders when he referred the suspected misconduct of MPs at the Appointments Committee to the Committee on Privileges and Immunities. However, he insisted that for the Speaker to suspend the MPs for two weeks was beyond his legal authority. JOIN OUR TELEGRAM GROUP HERE “The Speaker is right to…

The reported comments by Emefa Baeta, labeling the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam/Adoagyiri and Chief Whip for the Minority of Parliament as “silly,” is deeply regrettable and unbecoming of someone tipped to assume the prestigious role of Chief Executive Officer for the Petroleum Commission. Such an outburst undermines the decorum and respect that should characterize national discourse, particularly when addressing representatives of the people… This incident is a stark affront not only to the Member of Parliament but also to the people of Nsawam/Adoagyiri Constituency, Eastern Region, and Ghanaians at large, whose collective voice and mandate the MP represents.…

Their unity and peaceful way of life made their community admirable and enviable… One evening, as the sun set, a new creature arrived in the forest. It was a bat, something the birds had never seen before. Curious and kind, the birds gathered around to welcome the…

They are hiding whilst some of us keep receiving the backlash for their actions. Those who are shy all of a sudden to come out and speak for the party, even though they had juicy appointments, should bear this in mind. The youth in the party will continue to work hard and receive the insults, threats, and beatings to see the NPP back into power. However, when we return, remember to be quiet as you are today because the youth will never welcome you. You think the defeat is so embarrassing for you to come out now and defend the…

The perennial conflict at the Nkwanta South District of the Oti Region has reared its ugly head again with several casualties and fatalities. As we speak now, there is heavy military and police presence who are trying to maintain peace and order. The situation has put the place in a state of anarchy and pandemonium, with residents fleeing helter skelter to neighbouring communities in search of safety. We, the Challa Youth Association (CYA), wish to unequivocally state that the overall cause of the conflict should be laid at the doorsteps of the Akyode tribe. Contrary to the above, the Akyodes…

The quest or plan to Rebuild, Rebrand and Refocus, the NPP has become a relevant topical issue among the rank and file of the Kukrudu family. The outcome of the 2024 Presidential & Parliamentary elections have left bitter taste in the mouths of all and sundry (Party activists and sympathizers alike). A heavy defeat has been forced on us, very pathetic indeed. I am inclined to believe that the NDC came in as radicals seeking to extract vengeance, they got downright nasty in the process. The narrative have been one of a despair and pain, however, there exist windows of…

It’s disheartening to see a once-respected institution like Media General, where I previously worked, now being used to air questionable content that showcases a lack of intellectual rigor. I’m baffled as to why the platform has allowed certain presenters to spread hate speech and nonsensical ideas. While I understand that the media landscape is becoming increasingly competitive, with bloggers and social media influencers vying for attention, a responsible media outlet like Media General should prioritize the nation’s interest and adhere to the principles of journalism.Unfortunately, it seems that the Group CEO, is more focused on collecting awards and accolades than…
