You are insensitive and greedy for going after Ayensuano seat. NDC youth blast the party’s current national deputy youth organizer , Ruth Seddoh

                      🖇️story by; Yakubu Adams Democracy is indeed the ultimate positive revolution because it gives every individual of adult suffrage the power to change, control, and direct duty bearers for the common good of the people. But in every multi-party democracy, individual aspirations must always be in sync with their ideological party identity, the very platform on which those individuals would want to stand and advance their political growth  The NDC as a political party must not become just a tool for party executives in actualizing just their dreams, rather, party executives must remain religious to their contracts and promises upon which they were elected to serve. Barely few weeks ago, Ruth Seddoh told the over one thousand party delegates drawn from the 275 constituencies across the country that they should elect her as a deputy national youth organizer of the party, in order to work for the party and deliver the youth votes  Ten (10) candidates were standing up f

Enough of the positions, let's know your impacts - Hon. Charles Asore

Image
A leader is someone who knows the dreams and aspirations of his followers and works hard to achieve them. Student leaders come and go, but only a handful make significant impacts on students' progress.  The incompetence and mediocrity of our present-day student leaders are partially borne out by our own negligence or indifference. Sooner than later, the University of Ghana Political Science Students Association (POSSA) will be going to the polls on the 20th of July, 2020. The various aspirants have started displaying their profiles featuring the  positions they have held. Nonetheless, it's evident that some of us are still not privy to the fact that a good number of these so-called student leaders merely occupied those positions without any achievements or impacts made on students'development. This is a clarion call for us to jettison that erroneous mind frame that just holding numerous portfolios is an illustration of one's measure of experience. My proleta

Image
Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, a.k.a Hushpuppi has hired Gal Pissetzky, one of the best criminal defence lawyers in Chicago area to defend him. Hushpuppi, who was extradited to US from Dubai last week Thursday faces trial in Los Angeles, where his case has been filed before a US District Court in Central District of California. Chicago therefore appears like a temporary bus stop as he will be transferred soon. Pissetsky revealed that he will handle Hushpuppi’s defence all the way to Los Angeles. In a text message on Wednesday, he confirmed he is Abbas’s Defence attorney. “I do represent Mr Abbas”, Pissetzky said. “Most likely I’ll be following the case to LA too”. Hushpuppi appeared to have hired the right attorney. Mr. Pissetzky is described on the website of his law firm, Pissetzky & Berliner, LLC as a well-respected member of the legal community, who has represented many clients in high-profile cases, and is frequently quoted in the press. “He regularly appears on TV as

KNUST Student dies in School

Image
KNUST shs student lost his life in the school. The Guy was suffering from stomach ulcer and the teachers and authorities deemed it as COVID 19. Whiles he was suffering there was no food around to give him so some of his fellow students gave him a drink to take it for a while. The drink then escalated the pains of the students because of the sugar content in the drink. A big question is, where was the teachers and other authorities at that moment of time? Some of the teachers were around and they left the student for his fellow students to take care of. There was a lot of cars around the school which they could have use it to send him to hospital. Moreover, even if they deemed it as COVID 19 why didn't them call the emergency contact but rather called the student's Parent for the guy. This guy was left in the mercy of his fellow students to take care of and finally lost his life. The most painful aspect was a teacher claiming he doesn't pick sick people with his car.

One student tests positive for COVID-19 at Konongo Wesley SHS

Image
At least one student has tested positive for COVID-19 at the Wesley Senior High School at Konongo in the Ashanti Region. Citi News has gathered that a team of health workers and contact tracers have been dispatched to the school following the confirmation of the case. Reports indicate that the student was earlier rushed to the Konongo Government Hospital after showing symptoms of the virus but was diagnosed with malaria and asked to return home. According to an uncle of the student, Osei Kwadwo, his nephew was left on his own to travel from Konongo to Kumasi only to find out that he is COVID-19 positive. He is not happy about the development and says the student has since not been isolated and is living with his mother and other siblings at home. He is also blaming health officials and school authorities for not handling the issue properly. He says the student’s mother has since taken the COVID-19 test and awaiting her test results. “The government has said that no parent

Why the Auditor-General is refusing to go on leave

Gabby Otchere Darko writes on why the Auditor-General is refusing to go on leave May one have ones take on this Auditor General matter? One wishes to take it from a particular angle, if one may: An impression is being created that the Senior Minister has an interest to hide information about the Kroll Associates contract. It is as if it is a procurement contract for an infrastructural investment or something of that nature which a public official could ordinarily be accused of personal gain. I think it is important we set the parameters of the discussion right as some have already suggested loudly that Daniel Yaw Domelevo is being pushed out of the way because of this contract and his focus on it is “embarrassing” government. Really? If there are other issues embarrassing government that we do not know about please share. But, the matter which is topical is this Kroll engagement and matters arising.  Kroll Associates was engaged by this government in 2017, pretty much from the outset,

Kwaku Asante writes: Illegalities and the rule of men; UG SRC is heading into an abyss. I don't care anyway

Last Sunday, 28th June, 2020, I hosted the Speaker of the General Assembly on my Radio Univers show; Leadership Focus. Usually the show doesn't dabble in student related politics - the focus of Leadership Focus has usually been topical national political issues. But on that Sunday, I decided to segue into what exactly the challenge was that had even aspirants, a very important part of the process, not knowing what their status was.  I made a few calls to some aspirants that I knew personally and whose contacts I had, and for those I didn't have a personal relationship with, I looked for their contacts and sent them messages. Some of them got back to me, others didn't; the female aspirants particularly. I thought they should have agreed to come forward and make their challenges known, but for whatever reason, some decided to stay back; if that was their decision, then I respect it. However we did the show regardless with those who decided to come forward.  On the show, many
