1992 Constitution is a tool for stealing – #FixTheCountry Demonstrators

Leader of the Economic Fighters League, Ernesto Yeboah, has said that the 1992 constitution is problematic. He said a document is a tool being used by the leaders of this country to rig and steal from the people of Ghana. Ernesto Yeboah said these when he was speaking in an interview with TV3’s Komla Adom after the #Fixthecountry demonstration on Wednesday, August 4. He said “We are re-giving birth to Ghana. This is a reborn of Ghana everybody here has answered to the roll call and that is precisely what is happening. “We are ready to build a new and independent nation, we are ready to commit ourselves to new ways,” he said. He further accused political leadership of ripping off the nation through constitutional leadership. “That is why they are stealing and ripping us in broad daylight under the guise of the constitutional leadership. “What we have is not a Constitution, it is a notebook for stealing and rigging and plundering the state.” “Recently, we saw what Article 71 officeholders did and we also saw what the same group of people has done for workers in this country in terms of increment in salaries, 4%. So there must be an awakening.” Hundreds of Ghana s joined the #fixthecountry demonstration in Accra to demand better conditions of service from the leaders. Dozens began the protest march from the Obra Spot. Most of the protesters were in red with a few draped in the colors of the national flag. From the Obra Spot, the protesters used the Farisco Traffic Light road at Adabraka through the TUC-Kinbu road and then ended up at the Black Stars Square.

Media promises in the 2024 NPP manifesto: Are they enough?

By Osman Abubakari-Sadiq As a media development enthusiast, I find it natural to scrutinize what political parties have planned for the media landscape in their manifestos, especially with the upcoming elections in Ghana. When I got the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 manifesto from a friend, my first instinct was to search for the word “media.” After all, the media plays a vital role in shaping our democracy, ensuring transparency, and holding those in power accountable. Series of promises The manifesto did not disappoint in listing out a series of promises for the media. The NPP recognizes the critical role of the media in promoting democratic governance and preventing disinformation in the digital age. They promise to pass and implement the Broadcasting Bill, resource the Media Capacity Enhancement Program (MCEP), continue implementing the Coordinated Mechanism for the Safety of Journalists (CMSJ), strengthen public media, modernize the Information Services Department, an...
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. He asked me why, and I answered proudly, “because he was the first to come to my class and he spoke perfect English”. He laughed at me and said, “Small boys are young”.  After 3 years on campus, it has become clear that I was indeed small and young. I have learnt that ...
