Government introduces specialised 4-passenger motorcycles for Okada riders
The government has outdoored specialised four-passenger quadricycles to drivers and Okada riders on hire-purchase for use as public transport. The Bajaj Qute vehicles, according to a report by Citi News were outdoored on Saturday, November 28, 2020, by the Coastal Development Authority (CODA). According to the report, Chief Executive Officer for CODA, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, said the vehicles were outdoored as part of the CODA Drive initiative to eradicate poverty and create wealth for commercial drivers as well as okada and Pragya riders. “The operation of CODA Drive will initially be concentrated in rural areas and city outskirts in the six regions of the Coastal Development Zone,” the report said. At the height of the debate on whether to legalise the Okada business or not, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia proposed to offer new cars to the Okada riders on a lease basis. According to the Vice President, Okada was a risky business and he was confident that the cars will offer them safety as commercial drivers. The CODA initiative is also expected to help address road safety within the Coastal Development Zone. Government has taken a hard line against legalising the Okada business on grounds that their activities have led to numerous road accidents. Former President John Dramani Mahama, who is the incumbent President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo‘s main contender in the upcoming elections on December 7 has promised to legalise Okada if elected.

EXCLUSIVE: With Hon Inusah Fuseini On NPP Size Of Ministers And What NDC Might Do
The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central constituency and the former Minister for Lands and Natural Resources in the Mahama’s administration in an exclusive interview with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com said the Akufo the large number of President Akufo Addo Ministers was the first Manifestation of the fact that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo did not intend to keep his promises to Ghanaians. He said, even though the Akufo Addo- Bawumia led government used about 130 ministers, he wasn’t able to accomplish anything as a government, stressing that the NDC government will scale down the number to 80,85 or at least 90 ministers of States “The first indication we have that Nana Akufo Addo was a deception when he had told us that he was going to protect the public purse and given the opportunity, he appointed the largest number of Ministers and other appointees in the history of Ghana. That was the first manifestation of the fact that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo -Addo did not intend to keep his promises.” “Now, there is no coronation between the number of Ministers that you appoint and what you are able to accomplish as a government. If not, Nana Akufo Addo would have accomplished a lot, because he has appointed up to about 130 ministers but, he’s got nothing to show for it.” “With 85 ministers under John Dramani, we have a lot to show for it, it goes to show clearly that you required people with zeal, dedication, energy, and commitment towards bettering the lives of fellow Ghanaians to be in the offices to be able to deliver the promises made by the president. So, an NDC government will definitely scale down the number of Ministers that will be appointed into office.” “There is no reason to appoint 5 ministers for one ministry in the instance of the Ministry of Agric, there is no reason, so we will scale down the number of Ministers and ensure that energetic, committed, and zealous people are put into offices to deliver on the public goods that will move Ghana in the right direction.” “We have worked with 80 and 85 ministers of State. So, definitely, the number of ministers who will be appointed will be below 100, will be 90, might be below 85 because John Dramani Mahama intends to deliver on the campaign promises and he intends to that with the smallest number of ministers, he intends to ensure that public offices civil servants who are responsible for the ministries will put their heads together and get the promises delivered by the policymakers of the NDC and that is the ministers of state. The NDC government will work with the smallest number of Ministers to achieve a lot because we have done it before and we can do it again” He said Apexnewsgh.com/ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please kindly contact Apexnewsgh.com on Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications

“There are no excuses. We have to improve- Arteta
Arsenal received a humiliating 2-1 from Wolverhampton on Sunday in the Premier League in a game overshadowed by a serious head injury to Wolves forward Raul Jimenez. The 29-year-old Jimenez was taken away on a stretcher in the fifth minute and then to a hospital, after a collision with Arsenal defender David Luiz while both challenged for a corner from Willian. Jimenez, a Mexico international, is conscious and talking, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said. He will undergo a scan. “He speaks, he’s aware. He’s doing a scan,” the manager said, adding that the team was still worried about Jimenez’s situation. “Now we (will) have a proper assessment. But he’s in good hands.” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Luiz never lost consciousness and went through all the necessary medical tests when a head injury occurs. Arteta said Luiz was substituted before the start of the second half because the defender had a nasty cut and wasn’t comfortable heading the ball. “Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looks,” he said. While Wolves players were visibly upset by the incident, they went on to take control of the match. Wolves opened the scoring in the 27th when Pedro Neto slotted in a rebound after Leander Dendoncker’s header crashed off the crossbar and fell to Neto in the six-yard box. Adama Traore created the chance, beating Kieran Tierney with a run down the right before the winger lifted the ball into a dangerous area. Gabriel equalized for Arsenal three minutes later with a towering header as four defenders, including one pulling his shirt couldn’t stop the Brazilian from scoring. Wolves made it 2-1 in the 42nd when Daniel Podence took advantage of the rebound after goalkeeper Bernd Leno couldn’t collect Neto’s shot, which bounced off his legs for Podence to volley home. Neto’s run through Arsenal’s shaky defense created panic in the penalty box and allowed Podence to drift in to pounce on the loose ball. Traore nearly made it 3-1 in the fifth minute of injury time of the first half after cutting in from the right, but his shot crashed into the side netting. Willian nearly equalized for Arsenal with a free kick in the 57th, but it rose just over the bar. Rob Holding also had an open header but couldn’t connect with a Saka cross. It was the first away win for Wolves against Arsenal since 1979, bringing the team up to sixth in the Premier League. “We did what Raul would have wanted: for us to focus on the match,” Neto said. “We had to win the game for him and dedicate the victory to him.” Espirito Santo said he was pleased with his team’s performance, considering the shock of Jimenez’s injury. “I’m very proud,” he said. “This team showed heart today. A will, a belief. The way they run, they way they work.” Arsenal, meanwhile, hasn’t won a Premier League game since Nov. 1, when the Gunners beat Manchester United, and languish in 14th place. “We didn’t have enough shots,” Arteta said. “There are no excuses.

We will ‘kill’ Noudhibou in Ghana- Asante Kotoko’s Dentaa Amoateng
The Diasporan and International Relations Manager of Asante Kotoko, Akosua Dentaa Amoateng has promised defeat for Mauritanian side FC Nouadhibou when they visit Ghana next week. The Porcupine Warriors held the Mauritanian champions to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their CAF Champions League preliminary stage clash. Young attacker Ibrahim Osman scored an early first-half goal for Kotoko before a 21st-minute penalty from Hemeya Tanjy restored parity for the home side. The result favours a Kotoko side, whose officials have complained of unfair officiating by the Malian referee, Gaousou Kane. The Ghanaian giants will host the second leg and speaking to Kumai-based Silver FM after the game, Dentaa Amoateng bemoaned the poor officiating her side suffered. “Our boys played very well, but you can clearly see there is something wrong with the officiating referee. “As we’ve drawn 1-1 here, we will kill them in Ghana,” Dentaa Amoateng disclosed. footballmadeinghana Please kindly contact Apexnewsgh.com on Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publication
