Nurse and Midwife Trainees’ Association has petitioned government for unpaid allowances

The Ghana Nurse and Midwife Trainees’ Association (GNMTA) has petitioned the government to address the crucial problem of their unpaid allowances, which they allege have not been paid for over a year, in a news statement.
The statement, signed by its President Pascal Adumbisa, stated that despite urgent attempts to persuade the government to fix the matter, no resolution to the payment of trainee nurses’ and midwives’ allowances has been obtained as of yet.
He stated that the protracted payment delay has worsened the problems experienced by trainees who rely on these allowances for their education and well-being.
In fulfilling his 2016 electioneering pledge, President Akufo-Addo started the reinstatement of Nurses and Midwifery trainee allowances in Sunyani in 2017.
But throwing more light on the details of their petition, the President of the Association said “For over a year now, midwives and nurses have not received their allowances. We received an allowance in March. That was for three months and these three months that came in March were for 2022, not 2023. 2021, they made payments for September, October and November but June and December for 2021 were not paid, that is for those who just completed.”
He stated that the consequences of the government’s flagrant failure are already visible, as student nurses and midwives endure great financial challenges, impeding their ability to focus fully on their vital training and achieve the highest levels of proficiency in their industry. This failure, he said, is a big setback not only for the trainees but for Ghana’s whole healthcare industry.
Mr Adumbisa emphasised the importance of the allowance, stating that it is critical in assisting nurse and midwife trainees in Ghana, particularly during practicums. He claims that it protects them from high costs, allowing students to completely focus on their practical training without financial worry.
He said that the government’s failure to comply with their requests to pay their allowances would undermine the trainees’ drive and devotion, which might have a negative influence on the overall healthcare system.
” We call upon the government to rectify this injustice without further delay, to restore faith in its commitment to the healthcare sector, and to reestablish its role as a responsible custodian of the nation’s future healthcare professionals”, the President of GNMTA stressed

Menzgold: NAM1 enters a not guilty plea to allegations of money laundering, fraud, and other offences

Nana Appiah Mensah, the former CEO of Menzgold, also known as NAM 1, has pleaded not guilty to all 39 charges of wrongdoing.
Nana Appiah Mensah, widely known as NAM 1, was charged with 39 counts of crimes, including money laundering abetment, deceiving by false pretences, carrying out deposit-taking without the required licence, unlawful deposit-taking, and money laundering.
This is a decrease from the 61 counts originally filed against him.
In 2019, the Attorney General launched an inquiry on NAM 1, accusing him of scamming hundreds of clients out of millions of Ghana cedis through his gold dealership enterprise.
The case was adjourned numerous times until new charges were brought on August 30, 2023.
Mr Appiah Mensah stated plans to unfreeze locked up cash of Menzgold clients in exchange for 650 for verification.
Following that, he altered his intention to force former clients to obtain a verification access card in order to authenticate transactions and confirm claims, despite substantial public and consumer outcry.

Limited Voter Registration: Two people detained for attempting to register twice

Two people were detained in Asokore Mampong Municipality for allegedly attempting to double register in the current Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.
According to Municipal EC official Angela Afriyie Osei, the two suspects were apprehended after being validated as people existing in the Electoral Commission’s database.
As a challenge to the procedure, Madam Angela Afriyie mentions duplicate registration and efforts to register minors.
“The challenge we have been facing is about the double registration. At times when applicants come and we interrogate them, they insist he or she hasn’t registered before but when they go to the biometric column then it will come out that the person has registered.
“At the moment, we’ve handed two to the police. On male and a female. Another issue is also with the registration of minors,” she indicated.
Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.
“So far, we are satisfied with the entire process except some few challenges but that aside, we are very much comfortable with the process. All in all, everything is great,” an agent told JoyNews.

Black Sherif prophesy: Prophet Nigel Gaisie makes u-turn

Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has stunned Ghanaians by backtracking on his prophecy regarding artist Black Sherif.
Prophet Gaisie had a vision in which he witnessed the mother of musical sensation Black Sherif sobbing excessively in a post on his official Facebook page.
As a result, he pushed the musician to seek safety before December, implying his impending death.
However, in a recent interview, Prophet Gaisie clarified that the prophecy is for a particular Sherif Black and not the Konongo-based performer.
“We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it.” If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it,” he said in parables.
Regardless, the man of God exhorted those who were convinced of the prophecy to fast and pray in order to avoid death.
Prophet Gaisie, who dismissed charges that his doom prophecies concerning celebrities are only for fame, stated that he will quit making them public in order to prevent insults and derision.
