My opposition to Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng is not personal – Ablakwa explains

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has denied having a personal feud with the National Cathedral’s Secretary to the Board of Trustees, Reverend Victor Kusi Boateng.
He stressed that he doesn’t know Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng well enough to have ill will towards him, emphasising that he’s simply acting in his legislative capacity in response to his campaign against the secretary of the National Cathedral Board of Trustees.
On July 13, the High Human Rights Court rejected contempt charges brought by Rev. Kusi Boateng against the North Tongu MP.
Speaking on Eyewitness News after winning the court case, the vociferous lawmaker clarified, “It is also to emphasize that at the height of this running battle with Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, it’s a conflict of interest discovery I made that while he sat on the board of the National Cathedral as Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, he made payments to an entity, JNS Talent Centre Ltd, where he’s a director in the name of Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, with a separate identity, hoping that he will not be found out.”
“People shouldn’t forget the background, because some people have sought to create the impression that this is some personal battle or somebody I don’t like. Not at all, I don’t know him from Adam, it’s nothing personal”.
Ablakwa called the court decision a “victory for truth and parliamentary oversight.” This means I may continue with my research and publications.”
Background
Mr Ablakwa said in his exposé that Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng’s JNS Talent Centre Ltd was paid GH2.6 million to assist build the National Cathedral under the alias Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.
According to him, records in his hands show that Kwabena Adu Gyamfi is the same as Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, who is still an Executive Council Member/Director on the National Cathedral Board.
In reaction to the charges, Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng issued a statement in which he called Mr Ablakwa’s statements a “twisted narration of events” and threatened to sue the MP.
He then filed an action against the MP, and the allegations were rejected by the Accra High Court.
And today, the Human Rights Court ruled on the latest rejection of the allegations against Ablakwa.

Ya Naa tells Bawumia to treat Mahama like his elder brother

The Overlord of the Dagbon Traditional Area, Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama II, has asked the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to run a clean and respectful campaign ahead of the 2024 general elections.
During a courtesy call with Dr Bawumia, Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama II emphasised the necessity of sustaining national unity and peace, whatever of party allegiance.
He reminded Dr Bawumia that his opponent, former President John Dramani Mahama, is also a Dagboni son with similar goals for the country’s growth.
“It’s a critical opportunity for us to demonstrate our maturity, competence, honesty, and commitment to Ghana’s progress,” Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama II said, adding, “You are my son, Dr. Bawumia, and your competitor, John Mahama, is also my son.” You’re both completely devoted to this election.”
The Overlord further emphasised that Dr Bawumia and Mr Mahama should see each other as siblings rather than adversaries.
“He is not your enemy or rival, but your elder brother,” Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama II said. “We have already won the elections as Northerners.” Whoever wins this trophy will return home.”

The economy is a disaster because Bawumia is ignorant – Sam George

Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is clueless about handling the economy, according to Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament Samuel Nartey George.
Unlike Dr. Bawumia, Sam Goege stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, Former President John Dramani Mahama, is focused on how the economy would be managed.
“We have been inundated with questions of policy and policy initiatives. John Dramani Mahama has been outlining flagship policy initiatives over the past weeks in public engagements.
“The other one, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has only one message – John Mahama! He is so pathetic and clueless in his engagements so far it explains to us all the reasons our economy under his leadership is in shambles. Bawumia is empty and spent.
“John Mahama has a clear vision and plan to #BuildTheGhanaWeWant. PS: I am open to a factual debate on the policies outlined so far. I’m uninterested in party bots seeking to earn their daily stipend,” he tweeted while reacting to the comment by Vice President Dr Bawumia to the effect that former President Mahama does not understand what it means to have a 24-hour economy.

According to Dr. Bawumia, hospitals, the Electricity Company of Ghana, the Ghana Water Company, petrol stations, and numerous chop bars are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
He urged Ghanaians to oppose Mr Mahama’s proposal.
Addressing a throng in Nalerigu on Monday, November 20 as part of his ‘Thank you’ trip after being chosen NPP flagbearer on November 4, Dr Bawumia remarked, “John Mahama says he has a new idea.” What is the concept? He claims to desire a 24-hour economy. He’s not even aware of the policy.
Today, our hospitals operate 24 hours a day, our power company operates 24 hours a day, our water company operates 24 hours a day, our gasoline stations operate 24 hours a day, and many chop bars operate 24 hours a day. Because of digitization, you may now transmit and receive money 24 hours a day, seven days a week… As a result, he doesn’t grasp his own policies. It makes no sense.
“So I want you to vote for me in 2024 because I will bring a new vision, I will bring a new policy. Mahama is the past, and Dr Bawumia is the future. If John Mahama was there, we would say we have a dumsor economy, you can’t have a 24-hour economy in dumsor. So, you want to vote for Dr Bawumia in 2024, we will take the country to new heights,” Dr Bawumia stated.
Mr Mahama stated that the 24-hour economy will provide work for all Ghanaians.
“The 24-hour economy I proposed is for jobs and more jobs,” the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) stressed.
He suggested the ’24hr Economy’ concept when he met with leaders from the country’s mother workers union on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, as part of his outreach to key stakeholders in his attempt to reclaim power.

Mahama urges government to pay allowances owed nursing trainees

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, wants the government to settle all arrears due to nursing trainees across the country as soon as possible.
According to John Mahama, such delays generate unneeded hardship for pupils.
Mr Mahama says the government must honour its pledge to pay nursing trainee allowances to students at the Krobo Nursing Training School in the Bono Region as part of his trip.
“Nana Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have stated that they will pay the allowances.” I ask you, Nana Addo and Bawumia, if you can hear me, we here at Krobo Nursing Training School, claim you haven’t paid their allowances for two years now.”
“Let the allowance come. Wherever you are, Krobo Nursing Trainees are begging you to let their allowance come,” John Mahama appealed.
