For them, Heads of Schools in the Region would be compelled to send the SHS 2 students who are in their second semester home. “On the foregoing, we wish to state that if we do not get immediate releases the SHS 1 students of the single truck schools who would be due to return to school tomorrow Tuesday, August 16, 2022, would not report until we get money. This also includes those in transitional schools who are also billed to report on September 4, 2022. “Lastly, Management is also entreated to pay the recurrent expenditure of the schools, which has been in arreaars since last year. The non-payment of this component of our money is affecting the smooth running of our schools in issues such as maintenance and repairs, field trips, practical lessons in our laboratories, etc.” Source: Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana

He maintained He added: “When Bawumia got into this party in 2005 that is after Kufour, he wasn’t a politician, he was an excellent banker that this country has ever produced.

We expect a query and condemnation from National leadership to Hopeson Adorye–NPP REG COMM DIR
Peter Ayinbisa, the Upper East Regional Communication Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said, he is expecting the party National Party’s leadership to come out openly to condemn the ethnocentric comment made by Hopeson Adorye against Northerners. According to Mr. Ayinbisa, he believes the delegates are those who will speak. He spoke with Ngaemegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com exclusively on Monday, August 15, 2022. “I expect the leadership of the party to condemn him and ask him to apologize to Northerners in general for that reckless comment that he made. I expect in the coming days to see the General Secretary, the National Chairman, and the rest of the executives issuing a query to him and demanding an unqualified apology from him regarding Northerners because in this case is not even about the NPP is about Northerners in general”. “Is not good for our party to be divided into those things, is not good for a senior party member like Hopeson to have to say what he said. But I believe that the delegates are those who will speak. When the time comes, they will decide who will lead this party. The delegates are very sophisticated these days, whoever they elect, at the end of the day as our flagbearer all of us are going to rally behind that person. It doesn’t lie in the mouth of Hopeson to think that we the Northerners are supposed to be running mates. In fact, I wanted to remain neutral but the fact that he insulted us the Northerners, I think what he has said in bad taste, he shouldn’t have made that comment, I condemned that comment”. “But, we are not shaking as a party we will look at what the instructions and directions will be moving forward”. “So, for me, as a Northerner am not happy he has re-relegated us to background thinking that we are supposed to be running mates. We think that we have what it takes to lead this country. NDC have had it, they had John Mahama and we too will have it”. Hopeson Adorye was captured making these pronouncements after a health walk organized by supporters of Alan John Kyerematen on Saturday. “Whenever a Danquah leads the party, the Busia side steps aside but there is a Dombo (for running mate), and whenever a Busia lead, the Danquah side steps aside but there is a Dombo (for running mate). As for the Dombos they are always there (for running mate). “If it went to Danquah, came to Busia, went back to Danquah, where should it go now, is it not Busia?” Adorye asked.
