Spio-Garbrah fumes: General Mosquito and Ofosu Ampofo must resign



An aspiring flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has called for the resignation of two top officers of the party.

According to him, the chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, and the general secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, need to step aside.

This, he explained, is because they have compromised their positions and can therefore not be trusted.

“Obviously, these are people who have already declared support for a candidate, so on the basis of principles, it is fair that they step aside for a fair process,” he said.

He went ahead to say that the executives are committing an illegality by deciding on a filing fee without consulting the council of elders.

One of the aspirants, Professor Joshua Alabi, has indicated the he may raise the GHC400,000 demanded by the party.

He revealed that he has been receiving calls from the grassroots in that respect, so he is ready to secure the funds to settle the filing fees.

He nonetheless noted that his ability to raise the money does not mean the fee is not outrageous.

    This is not NDC. How can the National Chairman and the General Secretary declare their support for a particular candidate? It is a shame. I will not be surprised if the party remains in opposition for the next 32 years. What at all does JDM wanted to do that he didn't do when he was in power for almost five years?

The Supreme Court has dismissed an attempt by businessman, Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome, to have the ongoing legal proceedings in relation to his GH¢47.2 million debt owed the state moved to the High Court. In a ruling yesterday, the apex court, presided over by a sole justice, Mr Justice Anthony A. Benin, held that it had the power to enforce its judgement and, therefore, surrendering its jurisdiction to the High Court would be unconstitutional. The current legal battle is that the defunct UT Bank, through its receivers, is claiming ownership of two residential properties that the Attorney-General (A-G) says belong to Mr Woyome and, therefore, wants to sell to offset the debt. Objection Lead counsel for Mr Woyome, Mr Osafo Buabeng, had raised an objection challenging the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to hear and determine the dispute, since it was under the High Court (Civil Procedure Rules, 2004, CI 47). It was counsel’s argument that hearing the case in ...

Lawyer Mrs. Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, who is also MP for Prestea Huni-Valley & MCE, Hon. Mozart K. Owuh over their efforts for the good people of Prestea Huni-Valley. Our Municipality is a gold mining area, and due to government efforts to sanitize Small Scale Mining, some individuals, who are involved in the illegal mining are deeply sponsoring the media and pushing agendas that the government of Nana Akuffo Addo hates them. It is important to note, these people have encouraged illegal mining for centuries, but our community is still in tatters. What they think about is THEIR STOMACH. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PRESTEA HUNI-VALLEY. They do not care about increased health hazards associated with illegal mining. They don’t care about school drop outs due to galamsey. They do not care about incr...
