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.

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. For instance, in the East Legon outlet of the fast food restaurant Marwako, a food vending establishment, it was claimed that over 50 people contracted food poisoning in May 2022.

The Food and Drugs Law of 1992, PNDC Law 305B, created the board. More than 297,104 patients were admitted to h...

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 ...
