CPP Secretary demands for Akufo-Addo’s resignation

The Convention People’s Party (CPP) Secretary has demanded President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s resignation. The demand came as a result of what the party labeled as the mismanagement of the economy by the Akufo-Addo-led government since assuming office. According to the CPP General Secretary of the party, Nana Yaa Gyantuah, President Akufo-Addo has not followed the promises he made to Ghanaians in the fight against galamsey and the protection of the public purse. In an event organized in celebration of Ghana’s founder Kwame Nkrumah, on Wednesday, 21 September 2022, Nana Yaa Gyantuah said: “Almost all our water bodies have been destroyed because of galamsey… I think it is time for him to resign. I think it is time for Nana Akufo-Addo to put down his job and allow competent people to take over.” She believes the CPP will be able to turn the fortunes of the country around when the opportunity is given.“We the CPP will go strictly to all procurement rules to reduce infractions in government spending and limit looting and even erase loot and share,” she said. “We would also ensure that the law that allows foreign investors to repatriate 100 percent profits will be amended to a 60 percent share.” However, the party further cited the depreciation of the cedi, high inflation rate, and the frequent hike in fuel prices, as reasons President Akufo-Addo should resign his post.

Some opposition party Youth organizers accept the use of Ghana Card for registration

Some Party Youth Organizers who called themselves as Coalition of National Youth Organizers, which includes the National Youth Organizers of the PPP, GCPP, CPP, APC and the PNC has permitted the Electoral Commission (EC) decision to use Ghana Card as a form of identification for the upcoming registration of eligible voters. Statement from the Coalition said: “We the Coalition of National Youth Organizers support the Electoral commission’s decision to accept the Ghana card in that exercise,” The EC has earlier hinted plans to accept the Ghana Card as proof of citizenship when it embarks on the limited registration of eligible voters who have attained the age of 18 and those who were unable to vote during the 2021 registration exercise. The Coalition noted that: “there has not been much debate on the issue of age or the Sanity of registrants over the years, however, the problem has always been the status of the person’s citizenship. “From our checks, over the years, the majority of the challenges that has characterised the electoral registration process by the electoral commission have been to question the citizenship status of the challenged person.” It further noted that: “This has led to the beefing up of our borders with extra Ghanaian security forces every time the electoral commission decides to embark on electoral registration for the fear of non-Ghanaian citizens coming into our country to register as voters. The reason being that, although article 6, to article 10 clearly states who a Ghanaian is, the Ghanaian does not have a valid and acceptable National Identification or document to prove their claim of citizenship. “This has always led to confrontations, tensions and sometimes violence at the registration centers because of the suspicion that foreigners are being registered. This, the credibility of Ghana’s voters register has always been doubted depending on who is in power under the 4th Republic between the NPP and the NDC since 1995.” The coalition indicated that: “We have witnessed countless D-day election violence and post-election violence in Ghana since the beginning of the 4th Republic which is a dent on our image as a democratic country, and most of the cause of the violence has always been the suspicion of non-residents or non-citizens attempting to vote or having voted already.” It continued that it has “taken this position because we believe in our democracy and hope that the post elections litigations and violence that characterise our electoral processes can end when we all resolved that every election conducted in Ghana and the results declared are indeed the will and the decision of Ghanaians. “In that regard, let us be mindful that the electoral commission of Ghana is a strong Pillar if not the last barricade which is safeguarding the democratic path we have chosen as our system of government.” The Coalition also called on politicians, “especially the NPP and the NDC” to “stop interfering in” the work of the EC and stop trying to “wear them our political colours, like we did with Dr Afari Gyan, Madam Charlotte Osei and Now Madam Jean Mensah.” Apexnewsgh.com

Akufo-Addo has failed woefully – CPP

The Chairperson and leader of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) Nana Frimpomaa Sarpong Kumankuma has said President Akufo-Addo is deteriorating Ghana’s economy irrespective of the excessive borrowing by his administration. Nana Frimpomaa has maintained that President Akufo-Addo when in opposition bragged and made juicy promises to save the country from ditch and economic doldrums’ yet he has failed woefully in all sectors. She has indicated that President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 general elections made those striking promises just to induce and cajole the electorates and termed the promises as false hope. Nana Frimpomaa speaking in an interview on Yen Sempa morning show on Onua FM on Wednesday April 14 expressed complete disappointment in Akufo Addo’s administration and described his performance as appalling especially in the area of job creation. The CPP chairperson described Nana Addo at the time in opposition as “Guy Toronto” adding that his posture and comments were promising to have made him a wonderful president who would leave a legacy yet there is nothing to show after being in office for 4years. “If you look at how he started his administration, the ministries he created and the number of ministers he appointed; in as much as he appointed plenty ministers the ideal for me was that he wanted to ensure things get done for the best but it didn’t happen. “I don’t remember a lot of things that have impacted the economy, indeed the economy today is not the best, there are more unemployed youth and the youth on the street are still there,” she reiterated. Nana Frimpomaa expressed fret over high accommodation rate and the fact that the government is making empty promises in investing in the affordable housing project meanwhile the debt of the country is sky rocky. She stressed that Nana Addo’s regime has clearly shown that the problems and challenges in Ghana are in excess and deeper than what we think it is. She told the host Kwame Tutu that she is dissatisfied and discouraged because she is not seeing the results of the vision she had in Nana Addo. However, Nana Frimpomaa lauded President Akufo Addo for the introduction and implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy which has lessened the burden for many. She thus indicated that Ghana needs a visionary leader from a party that believes in principles that hinges on transformation and development for the people and that is what CPP stands for. 3news Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Ghana can’t have peaceful elections when citizens are not committed to peace – EC

The Greater Accra Regional Director of the Electoral Commission (EC), says Ghana cannot have peaceful elections when citizens’ actions and inactions do not show their commitment to ensuring peace. According to Mr George Kwame Amoah, it is essential that Ghanaians are tolerant of each other and respect the choice of others in elections. “This will help us prevent attacks, insults, and intimidation among others, which are creeping into the country’s politics,” he said during the launch of Agents of Peace Campaign. His comments come after some NPP and NDC members attacked each other after a peace walk at Odododiodio in Accra. Mr Amoah speaking during the launch by the Church of Pentecost Kaneshie Area, on the theme: “Seek Peace and Pursue It” described the violence as “horrible”. He stated it was proper to allow political parties to have the freedom to a campaign since Ghana chose the path of democracy. People should have the opportunity to freely choose candidates or parties they were comfortable with, he added. Mr Amoah said, “peace is invaluable, don’t take it for granted. Countries who lost peace took many years to get it back. We need to pursue peace even after elections.” Ghana cannot afford to lose the peace her citizens are enjoying, he noted. The members of the church present also took the opportunity to pray for the upcoming elections, political parties and security agencies among others. The launch was characterised by patriotic songs, poetry recitals, and a documentary on some incidences of electoral violence and their effects. The campaign is expected to be replicated in 87 local assemblies within the Church’s 22 districts. Mr Amoah commended the Church for the campaign and appealed to the conscience of the people on the need to sustain the peace. The Deputy Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mrs Elizabeth Sackey, urged all to “walk the talk of peace” and desist from paying lip service to it. The Greater Accra Regional Director of the National Commission for Civic Education, Mrs. Lucille Hewlett Annan, noted that it would be difficult for people to enjoy their rights if there was no peace. She appealed to citizens to resort to arbitration, litigation, mediation and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms instead of war to address their grievances. The Kaneshie Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Mike Etrue, appealed to the youth to avoid being used as instruments of violence. “The youth should not build their muscles in violence but must build faith muscle for peace,” he said. He appealed to political leaders to seek peace because that remained paramount in Ghana’s democracy and development.
