Ghana Is Not For The Politican

Ghana  politician today is now putting Ghana in their own hands as talkative in Ghana people and lies arrogant statesmen.
The people of  Ghana are not just a listen people they act are responsible people .
the politician will go to big school and different Nation to learn to come to Ghana and deceive the people of Ghana as their own families properties ,
Ghana is big and is for everybody in not one or two people but the whole Nation..
The two people of our dear nation just talk and for they are in the open not with their waives and children.

Mr Agyepong said the NDC Majority were making a mockery of the Minority because of the boycott.

Mr Agyepong said once the NPP was in court challenging the results of the 2012 presidential elections, there was no need for the boycott of the vetting.

He, however, supported the case at the Supreme Court, since he believed the presidential election was cooked for the NDC.

Ex-President Kufuor’s former Spokesperson Kwabena Agyapong has derided claims that some of the party’s activists planted a bomb under a high voltage transformer of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

Today’s edition of the Herald newspaper claims officials of the Ghana armed forces de-activated the dynamite upon a tip off.

The paper links the bomb to alleged acerbic comments recently made by some NPP activists at a rally organized at Taifa by pressure group ‘LET MY VOTE COUNT’.

But Mr. Kwabena Adjapong has described as laughable the attempt to link the NPP to the reported incident.

Speaking on Metro TV Monday morning, Mr. Agyapong said it would be a strange attempt to link the bomb detected to any NPP member.

But presidential spokesperson, John Jinapor says the presidency has information some persons are attempting to make the country ungovernable for the President.

He said the President will do everything possible to ensure that the country remains calm and peaceful.

A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Member of Parliament for Assin-Central, Kennedy Agyepong, has hit it hard on Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan, Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC), describing him as a “stupid man.”

Kennedy Agyepong in an interview with Okay FM, an Accra based radio station, chided Dr. Afari Gyan for the alleged lapses during the 2012 elections.

According to him, but for his crude conduct in the December polls, the election flaws would have been avoided.

He explained that due to the EC Chairman’s “mistake and stupidity”, there have been unremitting controversies about the nature of the 2012 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

Several people have raised concerns about the December 7 polls with the opposition New Patriotic Party challenging the results that placed President John Mahama on the lead.

The NPP claimed the elections were rigged and accused the EC of conniving with the ruling National Democratic Congress to clinch victory for President Mahama.

The leadership of the party in the persons of its Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Running Mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and National Chairman of the party, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, petitioned the Supreme Court to challenge the electoral results.

They prayed the Supreme Court to arbitrate their election dispute with the President and the Electoral Commission in hope that their Presidential candidate, Nana Addo, is legitimized to take over the office of the President.

But their hopes still hangs in the balance as lawyers of the respondents in the case have sought to match them boot for boot in order to prove the legitimacy of President John Mahama.

The Assin-Central MP who seems dissatisfied with the conduct of the EC told Okay FM that Dr. Afari Gyan “is stupid and not indispensable in this country”, therefore expressing his disappointment at the behaviour of the EC Chairman.

He added that should he “open his mouth if this is not controlled, Afari Gyan will have nowhere to reside”, positing that “Ghanaians tolerated his stupidity.”

To him, the EC Boss is “Satan” and therefore warned that his actions could have dire consequences on the nation if care is not taken.

leading members of  Political parties  in a  Country  like Ghana who they call themselves as intelligent  so what did they tell their followers .
God bless Ghana.

Is Homosexuality All That Defines Ghana Development ?

Over the past few days, several identifiable groups and individuals have risen up against her and blamed President Mahama for even daring to nominate her for that office.

We have heard threats and outright condemnation from the Concerned Clergy, National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church (Prof. Emmanuel Martey), and others who don't want Nana Oye in office because of her stance on homosexuality. Their fear is that she might use her position to promote the immoral act.

The latest voice of dissension has come from a law lecturer at the Ghana School of Law, Moses Foh-Amoaning, who is reported to have taken a swipe at the Majority side in Parliament for approving her.

He accused them of betraying all Ghanaians and will remain in Ghana's history books as people who failed to defend the rich Ghanaian traditional norms and values.

Foh-Amoaning said he will soon launch an anti-gay advocacy group called Forum for True Social Protection which will be a watchdog over any institution that wants to push the homosexual agenda

Nana Oye is not the only human rights activist that the country has produced. There are many others, including the NPP's Akufo-Addo who is often credited with accomplishments in human rights advocacy. Have we ever paused to question whether he will promote homosexuality? Or even since his quest to become the President of Ghana would empower him to do more than a Minister of State could, have we ever used his human rights advocacy against him in his political quests?

With all the high incidence of immorality in every sector of national life (including the clergy), what have all these opponents of Nana Oye done? Is it only homosexuality that is the canker to be so vigorously opposed?

You see, Nana Oye may be a human rights activist, but I don't think that promoting homosexuality is her agenda. Homosexuals have other human rights than the right to enjoy their sexual orientation, not so?

If Nana Oye were that much fond of homosexuality, why didn't she become one herself but would marry and produce children? Being a human rights advocate doesn't necessarily mean being a promoter of homosexuality. That's a fact to deal with.

Her confirmation will definitely be the turning point for more furore. We wait to see whether the NUGS will take to the streets as earlier threatened; or whether other civil society groupings will use her appointment as a political weapon to attack the government.

We expect some organized groups to go on “massive demonstrations” against Nana Oye and the government. I will only watch to see how many of them will be NPP members seeking to take advantage of this situation to intensify their anti-Mahama rabble-rousing campaign or those who will openly declare themselves as NDC members just angry at her being appointed as a Minister in charge of that portfolio.

You see, if people begin using demonstrations as a ploy, we have to look further ahead to know where they are coming from. Will they include the very NPP people who don't regard President Mahama as the legitimate leader of the country? What justification will they have to oppose anybody he appoints into office, anyway? Even when their Minority MPs refused to participate in the vetting of such people? Very intriguing moments ahead!!

Knowing very well how touchy this Nana Oye issue is, why did the Majority in Parliament go ahead to approve her nomination? With her confirmation putting much at stake, there is a heavy price to pay.

Now, we know what awaits Nana Oye. She will be entering office as someone whose appointment has divided the society in respect of homosexuality. The open re-affirmation by President Mahama that homosexuality is a criminal offence in Ghana will definitely keep her on her toes.

Contrary to all this fuss about Nana Oye's appointment, I hold the opinion that she is fit for that Ministry. I don't think that her being a human rights advocate is necessarily her promoting homosexuality.

Fighting for the rights of people has nothing to do with promoting the activities of those people. In other words, we must separate her advocacy from the practical activities that the homosexuals engage in.

Of course, one may wonder whether if homosexuals are taken to task for violating the laws of the land she won't step forward to defend them, which is invariably an endorsement of their practical sexual activities.

We may have to understand her role as an advocate and juxtapose it with the sexual (mis)conduct for which homosexuals have become pariahs in our African/Ghanaian context. We should see the difference and not begin imputing to her what lies in the future. How many of us has the gift of accurately seeing what the future holds in human affairs to be able to say with all certainty that she will use her office to promote homosexuality?

Of course, there is a genuine lingering fear that her being a Minister gives her the exposure and clout that she needs to influence opinions and attitudes toward what Ghanaians consider a moral deviation (homosexuality); but I don't think that Nana Oye is ignorant of the implications of abusing her office as such. In any case, how much can she alone do to over-ride the national hatred for homosexuality?

I think we are missing the mark if we focus on her. The overarching question to ask is: Why haven't we been able to stamp out homosexuality despite all the opprobrium that we seem to have against it? What are the measures in place to eradicate it from the society? Are we doing anything at all to that effect?

If we know for how long homosexuality has existed in Ghana but haven't done anything to stamp it out, why should we begin to point gossipping fingers at this one person whose expertise is to be tapped for national development? Is homosexuality our worst national canker, anyway?

Is Nana Oye herself not aware of the huge public outcry against her nomination and confirmation? That awareness alone should tell her that she stands to lose if she does anything to promote homosexuality.

Once the President has come out openly to declare and reinforce the fact that homosexuality is CRIMINAL in Ghana, Nana Oye will not be so naïve or treacherous as to use her position to promote it. Eyes will be watching her closely and immediate steps taken to deal with her if she goes out of her way to do the very thing that she has said she won't.

But then, because the government doesn't want to lose face because of anything untoward coming from her, it will ensure that she doesn't use her status to promote homosexuality. The onus is on her, and we must give her the benefit of the doubt as she prepares to step into the groove.

I have no doubt in my mind that she has the requisite acumen to do the assignments pertaining to her portfolio in the Ministry of Children, Gender, and Social Promotion. I join others like human rights lawyer Prof. Ken Attafuah, to endorse her as well.

As Prof. Attafuah has explained, our Constitution guarantees the fundamental human rights of every individual, irrespective of the person's sexual orientation, as is stipulated in Article 17(1) of the 1992 Constitution, which says: “(1) All persons shall be equal before the law; (2) A person shall not be discriminated against on grounds of gender, race, colour, ethnic origin, religion, creed or social or economic status" to ground his argument.”

Furthermore, “The rights, duties, declarations and guarantees relating to the fundamental human rights and freedoms specifically mentioned in this Chapter shall not be regarded as excluding others not specifically mentioned which are considered to be inherent in a democracy and intended to secure the freedom and dignity of man”.

What is difficult to understand about Nana Oye's role as a human rights advocate and not a promoter of homosexuality? She chose human rights as the path to pursue in her career as a lawyer. That's what we have to understand and put her expertise above all other considerations. She deserves our support.

Akufo-Addo is driving the NPP into an abyss

The 2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is speeding the party into an abyss.

Alhaji Iddrisu Bature intimated that the conduct of the NPP flagbearer with the support of party Chairman, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey and General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John, casts a slur on the integrity of the party.

He was speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme in reaction to the NPP’s resolve to seek justice in the court of law.

The NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo, his running mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and party Chairman Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey are in court challenging the 2012 presidential election results. 

The three have sued the Electoral Commission (EC) for allegedly supervising electoral fraud and sued President John Mahama as a beneficiary of the electoral irregularities. 

The three NPP bigwigs are convinced that given the evidences they have presented, the Supreme Court will overturn the election verdict in their favour.

But Alhaji Bature on Ekosii Sen maintains that the case the NPP has presented in court has no merit.

According to him, the motive behind the court case is to serve the parochial interest of some unpatriotic party officials in the NPP.

The Al Hajj editor said the party under the leadership of Jake, Nana Addo and Sir John has lost focus and integrity among Ghanaians.

“This is not the John Agyekum Kufuor NPP we know; if they go on like this the very foundation of the NPP will be damaged” he bemoaned.

He predicted an eminent breakaway by moderate people within the NPP who do not believe in what he called the “civil disobedience” of party leaders and want to preserve the party’s integrity.

Alhaji Bature urged the NPP to get out of court and focus on the 2016 elections since he claims, their evidence is not enough to change the election results.

In a quick rebuttal, former NPP Member of Parliament for Asokwa, Maxwell Kofi Jumah pooh-poohed Bature’s assertions.

He insisted that NPP’s court case is in the interest of Ghana’s growing democracy and to ensure justice is served.

Kofi Jumah said the NPP will not be cowed into submission to drop the court case but will pursue it to its logical conclusion.
