Joyce Bawa Mogtari Blames NDC MPs for Betraying Ghanaians in Parliament

In a scathing attack on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, former deputy minister of transport and aide to former president John Dramani Mahama, has accused them of betraying the interests of Ghanaians.
Mrs. Mogtari expressed shock at the recent turn of events where President Nana Addo's ministerial nominees were approved through voting in parliament, despite the party's strong warning against it.
Speaking on Pan African television's "Alhaji and Alhaji" show, Mrs. Mogtari stressed the importance of holding MPs accountable for their actions, stating, "We must call out all those who betrayed the course of the great NDC; let's stop shielding people who do wrong." Mrs. Mogtari's comments highlight the growing frustration within the party, which has struggled to regain power since losing the 2016 presidential election to Akufo Addo.
The NDC's failure to prevent the approval of Akufo Addo's ministerial nominees has been seen by many as a major setback for the party, which had hoped to use the vetting process to put pressure on the government to downsize its administration. The party had argued that the size of the government was bloated and unsustainable, and that downsizing was necessary to save taxpayers' money.
Parliament after hours of voting approved the nomination of the new ministers appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The NDC asked all its MPs not to support the approval of the nominees. But after a secret vote, all the nominees were approved despite the absence of three MPs from the majority side in Parliament.

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 Authority (FDA) is a Ghanaian government organization in charge of overseeing the correct distribution of drugs, food, and food products in Ghana. The Food and Drugs Law of 1992, PNDC Law 305B, created the board. More than 297,104 patients were admitted to h...
