We use this opportunity to admonish the contestants to undertake their campaigns in a manner that will not divide our ranks ahead of the 2020 elections by the deployment of foul language to undermine their opponents. The party also frowns upon the open endorsement of aspirants by constituency officers since that conduct has calamitous electoral consequences.
The NPP, bequeathed to us by our forebears is one with enviable democratic credentials and all party members have an abiding responsibility to safeguard and protect such credentials.
May the best candidates who can deliver or retain the seats in our constituencies, win.

Food Poisoning in Ghana: A system failure?

Restaurant managers, owners, food vendors and all those who matter in the food supply chain must take into account a number of important factors to maintain the safety of their consumers, including food and environmental safety management. In Ghana, there are said to be more than 625,000 cases of food poisoning annually, according to a report released by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the World Bank in 2007. Over 420,000 cases of foodborne illness are reported annually in Ghana, where one in every 40 persons is affected.

IN A POLITICAL SPHERE FULL OF UNCERTAINTIES: THE ONLY SURE THING IS “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE INTENTIONS...By  YAKUBU HUSEIN PUMAYA YAKUBU HUSEIN PUMAYA As a fresher, I got attracted to any aspirant who was bold enough to speak to me. In my mind, the best form of bravery was the ability to speak to strangers; that was what I considered to be the hallmark of a true leader. If more than one aspirant spoke to me, I considered the one who was more fluent to be the best candidate. In effect, my opinion of whom a good leader is, was based on his/her ability to speak good English.  When I was a fresher, I remember telling one of my seniors that I thought a particular candidate was going to win.
