Mahama Promises Affordable Social Housing for Ordinary Ghanaians
Former President and National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to develop truly affordable and accessible social housing for ordinary Ghanaians if elected President in the upcoming December 7 polls. Apexnewsgh reports In a meeting with the National Tenants Union on Thursday, June 27, 2024, Mr. Mahama outlined his plans to address Ghana’s housing deficit by building low-cost houses across the country. He emphasized the importance of housing as a crucial need and expressed his commitment to making it a key legacy of his presidency. Mahama also vowed to push for the passage of the Rent Control Bill, aiming to prevent tenants from being unfairly burdened with paying more than one year’s rent in advance. Mr. Mahama showed empathy for the 19 million people in Ghana who are renting and committed to building a brighter future for all Ghanaians, with housing being a pivotal aspect of that vision. This promise aligns with Mahama’s campaign focus on addressing the needs of ordinary Ghanaians, and his commitment to making housing a priority is expected to resonate with many voters.

Court Grants Injunction in Favour of Psychiatric Nurses Association, Halts Implementation of Collective Agreement
The High Court, Labour Division, has granted an ex parte injunction in favour of the Professional Association of Psychiatric Nurses – Ghana (PAPNG), effectively halting the implementation of the collective agreement negotiated by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA). Apexnewsgh reports The agreement was set to commence on July 1, 2024. The injunction was obtained against the GRNMA, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Controller and Accountant General, Minister for Finance, and Attorney General. The court’s decision highlights the exclusion of PAPNG and other unions, such as the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), from the negotiation process, violating statutory requirements. PAPNG argued that GRNMA’s actions breached the Labour Regulations, 2007 (LI 1833) and the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), which ensure inclusive and fair representation in collective agreements. The association expressed satisfaction with the ruling, stating that it upholds the principles of fairness and inclusivity in collective bargaining processes, ensuring that the voices of all relevant unions are heard and respected.

Isaac Adongo Donates GHc 500,000 to NDC Fundraiser, But Constituents Raise Questions
Hon. Isaac Adongo, Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central Constituency, has been revealed as the highest donor amongst all the Upper East NDC MPs at the recent NDC Upper East Regional fundraising event, held on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Apexnewsgh reports In an exclusive engagement with Apexnewsgh, Hon. Adongo confirmed donating GHc 500,000 to the party, clarifying that the funds came from his relationships with businessmen who support his candidate, John Mahama (JM). Hon. Adongo explained that he rallied support from willing backers to contribute to the fundraising effort, amounting to GHc 500,000. “Yes, I raised it and went and use it. It is not money coming from my pocket, I have relationships that are willing to support me and I told them I need money to go and support my candidate. So, those monies I put together came to Ghc 500,000 and I gave it out. We have businessmen who are comfortable with us and willing to help us. So, if I go to them and say I need money to help JM with his fund raising and am able to put them together and is Ghc 500,000, I don’t have to keep it, I have to give it him” Hon. Adongo clarifies Meanwhile, while his gesture may seem generous, some constituents are unimpressed, expressing disappointment and skepticism. They question why Hon. Adongo would prioritize party donations over releasing his share of the Common Fund to assist with student fees since 2021. Constituents are concerned about Hon. Adongo’s priorities, wondering why he would pledge such a substantial amount to the party while neglecting his responsibilities to the constituency. The Fund Raising Dancing Dinner, organized under the leadership of Alhaji Mumuni Bolnaba, aimed to raise funds and logistics to support the region’s campaign activities towards achieving the agenda 15/15 Parliamentary victory and 85% victory for H.E. John Mahama. However, in a surprising display of cross-party unity, members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) reportedly attended the fundraising event. While their names will not be officially recorded, their willingness to support the NDC’s fundraising efforts ahead of the 2024 general elections signals a possible shift in political dynamics. This development may indicate a growing recognition of the need for cooperation and collaboration across party lines, even in the midst of political competition.
