It’s Only Akufo-Addo’s Gov’t That Can Fulfill Pledge To Pay Us” – Assembly Members
The Greater Accra Association of Assembly Members believes that the pledge to pay Assembly Members a monthly salary can only be fulfilled by a Government led by the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Paying a courtesy call on the President, on Tuesday, 10th November 2020, Mr. Stephen Kwasi Acquah, spokesperson for the Association, indicated that the promise to pay salaries to Assembly Members is a call in the right direction, and is welcome by all Members. “However, in the 2012 and 2016 manifestoes of John Mahama and his NDC, the candidate who is today telling us he will pay us if he wins the 2020 election, the pledge to pay Assembly Members was made in those manifestoes,” the spokesperson said. He continued, “He (John Mahama) reneged on the pledge he made to pay us when we voted for him in 2012, and that is why we did not vote for him again in 2016, even though he had repeated that pledge.” Mr. Stephen Kwasi Acquah, on behalf of the Greater Accra Association, stated that “if there’s someone who we believe can pay Assembly Members on a monthly basis, then it has to be Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.” Outlining the policies implemented by the Akufo-Addo Government from 2017 to date, the spokesperson of the Association indicated that the Free SHS, 1-District-1-Factory, the Nation Builders’ Corps, and the programme for Planting for Food and Jobs have proven to be extremely beneficial for them and the constituents they represented. “Prior to the inception of Free SHS, we would always wake up to knocks on our doors by parents who could not afford to take their wards to school. The implementation of Free SHS has lifted the burden of us. Because of NABCO, no one harasses us for jobs anymore,” he added. Thanking the President for making time to meet with them, Stephen Kwasi Acquah stressed that “we believe that if we support you, and ensure that you get four more years, our circumstances, as Assembly Members, will be better off under your Government.” On his part, President Akufo-Addo told the Members of the Association that “I like very much the commitment that has been made” towards ensuring that there would be no return to power of the NDC. “The atmosphere in the country is good for us. The Ghanaian people are very happy with the work that has been done for them over the course of my first term in office, so help me take the message to every nook and cranny of the country. We cannot afford any complacency. The election is not won until the last vote has been counted, and we have to make sure that everyone who has registered comes out to vote,” President Akufo-Addo added.

POMPEO TO ENSURE A ‘SMOOTH TRANSITION TO A SECOND TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’
The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was on Tuesday promised to ensure a “smooth transition” but he maintained that President Donald Trump would be inducted again despite the projected victory for Joe Biden. According to Pompeo, there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” Pompeo made the pronouncement in a news conference. The US Secretary of State, also announced a seven-nation tour of US allies, which have congratulated Biden despite Trump’s refusal to concede. He said he will travel on Friday to Paris and then head to Istanbul and the former Soviet republic of Georgia before visiting Jerusalem and three key Gulf Arab allies – Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The trip according to him will pave to discuss Trump’s “historic efforts to initiate peace and cooperation throughout the Middle East,” Pompeo said. The trip will likely be awkward as Trump has denied that he lost last week’s election and his administration has refused to start the transition to Biden, who will be inaugurated on 20 January. France, which like many European nations had strained relations with Trump, swiftly voiced hope of working with Biden, who shares French priorities on fighting climate change, cooperating against the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuing diplomacy with Iran. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – all friends of Trump – have also congratulated Biden. The Democrat has pledged to place a higher priority on human rights and democracy, calling for a re-evaluation of the relationship with Saudi Arabia and for support for Turkey’s opposition. Pompeo on his trip is expected to discuss raising further pressure on Iran in the remaining two months of the Trump administration, which in 2018 bolted from a multinational denuclearization accord with Tehran and imposed punishing unilateral sanctions. Israel and Gulf Arabs have seen growing relations as they share the Trump administration’s hostility to Iran. In September, both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain said they would recognize the Jewish state and Trump had pressed Saudi Arabia to follow suit. Sudan has also said it will normalize relations with Israel. While Pompeo has been a frequent visitor in the Middle East, it will be his first solo trip to Paris; his only other trip was when he joined Trump for the 2018 ceremony marking the centennial of the end of World War I. Pompeo has mocked the last Democratic secretary of state, John Kerry, for his frequent travels to Paris, telling a conservative group earlier this year that he was not interested in “fancy dinners” and “cocktails.” Pompeo will also be the first secretary of state since Kerry to visit Georgia. Like the United States, Georgia recently held elections that were disputed, with the opposition saying the vote was rigged and staging protests.
