Former Member of Parliament, Insuah Fuseini, has finally broken his salience about the recent arrest and imprisonment of his son, Abdul Inusah, in the United States. Mr. Fuseini’s son Abdul Inusah, was handed a two-year prison term after being found guilty by a federal jury for playing a role in a fraudulent scheme based in Huntington. The scheme according to the former law maker was involved in defrauding individuals across multiple states through the use of false online identities. The court ordered Abdul Inusah to pay $152,000 in restitution and placed him under three years of supervised release following his prison term. Speaking in an interview with the media, Mr. Fuseini expressed disappointment with actions exhibited by his son. He further described his son’s involvement in the scheme as “stupidity and naivety.” “It is a difficult thing to accept because you raise your child with the hope of them becoming a good and responsible person. You sit down with them, talk about leading a decent life, and try to instill the importance of hard work. To see him end up in this situation is truly challenging,” Mr. Fuseini said. Explaining further, Mr. Fuseini siad his son had registered a company which engages in buy and selling of cars while studying in the US. A move he said, he didn’t sanction because he was sent to study. “He registered the company and was buying cars for people, a decision which I never approved of because I believe that if you are sent to school to learn, you must concentrate on your studies. But he registered the company and was buying cars for people, including some individuals in Ghana. However, in this particular case, he bought a car for his fellow students, who happened to be Nigerians. It was later discovered that the money used for the purchase was acquired fraudulently,” Mr. Fuseini explained He said, despite the situation, he has stands firmly by his son, stressing that Abdul Inusah will not engage in any illicit activities.

Farmers Day: Diary With Former Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Inusah Fuseini–A Must Read
As Ghana celebrates its 37th edition of Farmers Day, Apexnews-Ghana has been focusing its attention on Ghana’s former Members of Parliament who after moving out of Parliament, have decided to venture into farming as their lifetime business. Mr. Inusah Fuseini is a Ghanaian Lawyer and Politician. He is a former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central constituency and the former Minister for Lands and Natural Resources. One amongst these MPs turned full-time farmer, is Mr. Inusah Fuseini. He was also the former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central constituency and the former Minister for Lands and Natural Resources. As I write today, Mr. Inusah Fuseini is a full-time farmer. This year 2021, he was able to farm 300 acres of rice, as at today Saturday, December 4, 2021, he has already harvested 4,000 bags of rice for the season and hoping to harvest more. Mr. Fuseini said, he is happy and enjoying peace of mind with his current chapter in life. Below is his engagement with Apexnews Ghana Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on Farmer’s Day: Question: What is the impact of government policy ‘PFJ’ to you as a farmer? For me, the impact of the policy Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) on my activity is the fact that I am into seed production and my seeds will help the policy because peasant farmers will be able to have access to quality seeds for their farms at subsidized prices. But, If you are a commercial farmer and you are into grains, you are not part of the PFJ. You have to buy your input from the open market. You don’t enjoy any subside, you buy your fertilizer from the open market, you buy your seeds from the open market, you buy your chemical from the open market a commercial farmer is not part of the policy initiative. The policy is a poverty alleviation programme, peasant farmers who cannot afford quality seeds, we provide them with quality seeds at subsidized prices. So, when they plant and the yield grows, gradually they will be moving out of poverty because they will be getting better yield. They can’t buy fertilizer in the open market. For the commercial farmer, they presume we have the capacity to buy our farm input. Question: What is your best interest as commercial farmer? To be honest with you, most commercial farmers are not interested in subsidies, we are interested in the market. If I produced, how am I selling? Is there a market? You produced your rice, there is no recognized rice miller. There are small disjointed rice mills around and they buy at different standards, some come with a scale and others don’t come with scale, some of them in every 10 bags, they will collect a bag, some buy a kilo at Ghc1.00 and if you don’t sell, the price of your product will fall and if you have no warehouse to store the product, you will be compelled to sell at a lower price. And as a commercial farmer, if you don’t have a warehouse you will run at a loss because you don’t have a place to store your rice”. That is the reason why when it’s time for harvesting you would see those buyers around trying to buy from commercial farmers immediately after the harvest because they don’t have a place to store their produce and that will force them to sell at a lower price. “And as a commercial farmer, building a warehouse is expensive. So, the one-way government can help commercial farmers, is to build warehouses, so that commercial farmers can rent those warehouses for a period of 6 months. So, with that, if I harvest my rice and there is no market, I can go and put my rice in the warehouse for a certain period of time and before I take the rice I will pay rent, but the rent will be lower. So with that, the commercial farmer will be able to recoup his or her investment”. “Apart from that, the problem for commercial farmers is how to get a market. Because, if the market is good we don’t need any government intervention because we will produce and sell. As a commercial farmers, we are producing to sell not to consume. This year, I farmed 300 acres and I have already harvested about 4,000 bags of rice”. Question: Would you say farming is better than being a Parliamentarian? No, life is in chapters, what am doing now has its challenges and its experiences. It gives me peace of mind and happiness, it makes me conjure of myself, whatever I do, I do for myself, if I do good I do for myself and if I do bad I do for myself, if I put on hard work, am putting it for myself”. So, I don’t need any motivation for anyone to tell me to work hard. I have to work hard because am working for myself. Unlike when one is in parliament, your party is on you, your constituents are on you. “So, this time when I get up and say am going to the farm, am going to the farm, when am at the farm working and feeling tired and I say am going home, am going home, when I say I will get to the farm at 6 o’clock in the morning, I will go to the farm at 6 o’clock in the morning. So, in this chapter of my life, i am in control of myself”.

How NDC MPs could have rejected Hawa Koomson, Oppong Nkrumah and others – Inusah Fuseini
Former Ranking Member on the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini has explained the process National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawmakers ought to have adopted in rejecting the nomination of three controversial persons. The approval of Information Minister-designate, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Minister-designate for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Hawa Koomson and Minister-designate, for Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto was characterized by controversy last week and had to be subjected to a secret ballot on the floor of parliament. Shockingly, all three sailed through after garnering majority votes suggesting that some members of the NDC actually voted for them in order to confirm their nomination exacerbating the anger of NDC grassroots. But speaking on how it should have been done if the party was determined to reject the nominees, he indicated that they ought to have resorted to a three-line whip which is a a strict instruction to attend and vote according to a party’s position, breach of which would normally have serious consequences. “A three-line whip is simply that, no member can vote outside what the party or the caucus has decided, and when you vote, you must actually find a way to show that you have actually voted as directed [by leadership], and this wasn’t used.” The former Tamale Central lawmaker expressed disappointment in the turn of events on the floor of parliament paving way for the three nominees to be passed.

Homosexuality Is Happening ‘Underground’; “We’re Fighting A Losing Battle” – Inusah Fuseini
Alhaji Inusah Fuseini has highlighted some interesting observations on the establishment of the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, and Queer Intersex (LGBTQI) offices in the country. According to the former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Tamale Central Member of Parliament (MP), he will not support the activities of the LGBTQI in the country but he shares a different view as a lawyer of good standing. Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Inusah Fuseini posited that those who are fighting the activities of Homosexuality in the country will not succeed; as eventually, the country’s cultural practices will give way. “As a Muslim, I cannot support the activities of the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, Queer Intersex but if you ask me as a lawyer, I think that we are fighting a losing battle. If we want to create a right-based society, it means that if someone has the right to do something, you cannot prevent that person from doing it,” he opined. “If you prevent the person, then you are not creating an open society. Even in our criminal code which we borrowed from our colonial masters, we have unnatural canal knowledge introduced by the British, but now that law is no longer in Britain, new ones were born. They said that that law violates some rights,” he stressed. He further indicated that inasmuch as the cultural set up in the country does not accept and tolerate, and even considers homosexuality as an abomination, it is also a known fact that homosexuality has been happening underground in the country. “Within the cultural context, many things happen. Let me say that homosexuality within our homes, it happens but it happens underground because the cultural set up does not accept or tolerate and considers homosexuality an abominable,” he indicated. “But as times go on, some cultural practices will give way. Once upon a time, people could not smoke wee in the whole world over but today we have found a way to make wee medicinal . . . in Ghana, Akpeteshie used to be a banned substance initially but as time went on, the people accepted it. As new knowledge begins to emerge people will begin to understand,” he argued. To him, the many books he has read depict that the practice of homosexuality, queerness, and lesbianism started in the pre-history era and not a recent engagement as it can be traced in the Old Testament. “I have read a lot of books about homosexuality, queerness, lesbianism, so on. It is not something that started recently; it is a stone-age issue that can be traced in the Old Testament, but there has been a determined effort to keep society cohesive and to ensure that the God-right to multiply is not hindered. There have always been those practices, even in pre-historic time,” he stated. “As a Muslim, I cannot be seen to be practicing it but that is me as a Muslim, but as a lawyer, new rights are emerging and it is time that we recognize the existence of those new rights,” he entreated.

No ministerial nominee will be rejected – Inusah Fuseini explains why
Parliament’s Appointments Committee will approve all ministerial nominees put forward by president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo because so far there are no constitutional blocks facing any of them. This was the view of Insuah Fuseini, a lawyer and former lawmaker, whose submissions GhanaWeb monitored on NewsFile, Joy FM’s news analysis program today, February 20, 2021. Asked by host Samson Anyenini whether he thought the legislature could reject a nominee, Fuseini answered: “I have my doubt whether they will be rejected. I have my doubt, not a single person.” He explained the basis of his doubt: “… all I hear is people talking about the fact that somebody has not been able to speak English or somebody doesn’t understand exactly the portfolio they have been given.” He added that there was the need to appreciate that the president, as an appointing authority, had done some checks to be assured of the capacity and capability of nominees he presents to lawmakers for vetting. “You must not take it away from the president that he had a minimum assessment of the capacity of his nominees to deliver on his policy. That is why he nominated them in the first place. “So you must credit the president with some modicum of intelligence in putting people in places so that they can be able to push through his programs and policies,” he added. Parliament, he explained, had the main responsibility of throwing light on the “the inadequacies of the nominee.” But that it was the president who maintained the prerogative to withdraw a nomination or for the house to reject a nominee who fails to meet the minimum requirement as contained in law.

JUST IN: Here are the three options the NDC are likely take…
The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central and the former Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Inusah Fuseini has told Apexnewsgh.com in an exclusive interview that the NDC likely to call for arbitration or form a parallel government. According to the experienced lawmaker, it is clear that the NDC won the December 7 election, the reason why the former President John Dramani Mahama who happened to be their party flag bearer in just ended December 7 election said, that they will not accept the results of the 2020 general election.

But speaking to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com, in an exclusive interview on Friday, November 11, 2020, Mr. Fuseini who is the outgoing Member of Parliament for Tamale Central said the impunity of the NPP government must stop. “If we don’t fight this one, it will destroy the beauty of our democracy. We are likely to see NDC in court, we are likely to see NDC call for arbitration, we are even likely to see NDC form a parallel government because we are convinced that we won the election.” Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications
All Options Are On The Table, John Mahama Has Not Encouraged Anyone To Go Onto Street—Inusah Fuseini
The outgoing Member of Parliament for Tamale Central Hon. Inusah Fuseini has told Apexnewsgh.com in an exclusive interview that all options are on the table for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to regain the will of the people. “All options are on the table, we are particularly presently reviewing all the pink sheets, we are reviewing all the documented instruction of the Electoral Laws of this country, and those doing that are our lawyers and they will advise on the appropriate cause of action. Like I have said and I would say again to you, that nobody, and I repeat nobody has a duty to accept the results or outcome of a flawed election. So, it is within our right to reject the results. Recent happenings at the Electoral Commission even vindicates our position. The Electoral Commission publicly declared Nana Akufo Addo President 2 days ago, and in less than 24 hours, the figures that were the subject matter of the declaration were changed and the figures keep changing at the Electoral Commission. The EC in the first correction they did to the figures they publicly announced as figures for the election, they said that they had inadvertently used. How can a commission set up for the purposes of collating election results come out with that excuse of inadvertent?” He believes, something fundamentally wrong is happening to the country’s electoral processes. And it is in the interest of all democratically-minded persons in the country to audit the outcome of the results to find them through the will of the people. “If we do an audit of the outcome of the result, it will give us the realistic and accurate appreciation of where and will of the people is moving towards, it will also give us an accurate and realistic figure of how the region voted because every vote counts.” Responding to the protest and burning of tyres witnessed in some parts of the country by some party supporters and some aggrieved followers of John Dramani Mahama, Mr. Fuseini said, John Dramani Mahama has not sanctioned anyone to go onto curse any havoc because he believes in the country constitutional mandate. “John Dramani Mahama made it clear, he stated categorically that the party will not accept the results, he did not go ahead to declare himself president of the country, because he is a law-abiding citizen of this country. He said all the options are on the table, he only said that we are reviewing the outcome of the elections and in due course, we will take action. John Dramani Mahama has not encouraged, motivated, or asked people to go onto the street and demonstrate, he has not said that. Mind you, it is the outcome of the presidential as well as some constituencies in the parliamentary elections that are at stake. Even though I am not the official spokesperson for John Dramani Mahama, I can tell you as a matter of fact that John Dramani Mahama has not asked people to go onto the street.” However, he pointed that the reason why the NDC will not accept the results declared, is because they have wasted time, energy, and resources, but only the for EC to procured the election for President Nana Akufo Addo he told Apexnewsgh.com Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications
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
