I Will Change Ghana's Name Back To Gold Coast.... N.D.C Prez Aspirant.

Though names are said to have effect on the lives of persons, it is not yet proven that names of countries play a major role in their fortunes or misfortunes. Speaking on Okay Fm’s "Ade Akye Abia" Morning Show, George Boateng indicated that changing the name Ghana back to Gold Coast will transform the economic fortunes of the country because the old name carries blessings. “…when I become President, I will change Ghana to Gold Coast, the land of gold. This is because the name carries blessings to transform the country again back to its old state, as it used to be a paradise; that’s what I will do...if you travel outside, the white people still refer to us as Gold Coast,” he explained. Outlining his ambition, George Boateng mentioned that all galamsey operators will be unionized to form one industry to take care of the gold by turning them into finished products so that raw gold will no longer be exported. He is certain that under his presidency, Ghana will look more beautiful and attract more investors than Dubai. Stating the reason for the harsh criticism of his party [NDC], Mr. George Boateng said the NDC should not be increasing fuel prices and doctors should not be going on strikes for poor people to die under the governance of the NDC. He insisted the National Health Insurance Scheme should be operational everywhere under President John Mahama as it is gradually fading instead of making it national for the benefit of all Ghanaians. He therefore implored Ghanaians for their support in his quest to become the NDC’s flagbearer and subsequently, win the 2016 elections to become President of Ghana; pontificating that “I am here to save Ghanaians from hardship and slavery to paradise.” Source: peacefmonline.com

Contempt Scare Won't Stop The Momentum To Clean Judiciary- Kwaku Baako

Senior journalist Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says he is not worried at all by an avalanche of contempt suits in the wake of the screening of a video detailing judicial bribery.

He said when the noises die down, Ghana would be driven by the contents of the video to take steps that would make the state better.

A two-year investigative video compiled by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas showing 34 judges allegedly taking bribes has shocked the nation and dominated media discussions for weeks.

Two of the 12 High Court judges accused of taking bribes have gone to the High Court challenging the legality of the audio-visual recordings.

Justices Paul Uuter Dery and Mustapha Habib Logoh say the recordings were done in violation of the right to privacy.

They want the court to declare that the ‘evidence’ cannot be used to institute any impeachment proceedings against them.

Justice Dery filed a separate application for interlocutory injunction seeking to stop the Accra International Conference Centre from allowing Anas to screen the video there.

Even though the injunction processes were served on managers of the Conference Centre, the screening came off as scheduled on September 22 and 23.

Justice Dery went back to court and cited the Manager of the conference centre amongst other for contempt.

His lawyer, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo, argued the serving of the injunction processes acted as an injunction.

He said the conduct of the managers of the centre scandalized the court and had the tendency to bring the delivery of justice into disrepute.

Speaking on the matter on Joy FM and MultiTV’s news analysis programme Newsfile, said the cases being brought to court will not dim the effect of the evidence collected by Anas.

He said the processes should be allowed and those cited must enjoy their constitutional right to presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

More soon.

Share this story: But for the timely intervention of security personnel, the Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing, Alhaji Collins Dauda and Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, Eric Opoku would have been lynched by some irate youth at Nkoranza. The action was triggered by what they say is the Regional Minister’s failure to help them redeem their monies from DKM and God is Love Fun Club. God is Love Fun Club and DKM are part of a number of financial institutions banned by the Bank of Ghana for operating without permit. Since the ban took effect, persons who invested in the companies have appealed to various authorities to help them recover monies they saved in them but their calls have fallen on deaf ears. They have even decided to boycott the upcoming District Assembly Elections and have called on the dreaded Kumasi deity ‘Antoa Nyamaa’ to punish anyone in the town who would cast a vote in the upcoming elections. So when the two men, according to local radio station Achiaa FM’s reporter Kwame Bamfo Agyei, came on a working visit at the Nkoranza Municipal Assembly, the youth took advantage to vent their spleen. Kwame Agyei said the machete wielding youth acting on behalf of persons who saved with the financial companies stormed the Assembly, held Ahaji Collins Dauda and Eric Opoku hostage and vowed to stay until their monies are paid them. The Ministers managed to escape with the help of their security men and sped off in their cars leaving the media who went with them behind, according to the reporter. Kwame Bamfo Agyei added that since the Regional Minister and his colleague were able to escape, the youth are holding the media hostage until their demands are met. He said the irate youth have vowed to detain the journalists until their monies are retrieved from the two micro-finance companies.
