Numerous media outlets in Ghana have taken to villainizing this young woman based on an excerpt of the conversation included in a 1 minute, 30-second video of “Sex and Love.”<br /> <br /> “As the host and the namesake of this series, I feel compelled to speak up on behalf of our contributor. I want people to recognize Moesha’s right to speak up and the courage she showed by sharing such intimate details about her personal life,”<br /> <br /> “I urge my colleagues in the Ghanaian press to reserve judgment for the whole episode, and for the people to understand that all must be seen in context, not judged on one excerpt,” She added<br /> <br /> Watch the full episode of S*ex and Love Around the World featuring Moesha Buduong:<br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="400" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fghanasky%2Fvideos%2F661578580841034%2F&show_text=0&width=640" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="640"></iframe>

Jackson failed to deal with an innocuous cross from the right side, letting the ball slip through his fingers for Konkoni to walk the ball home.<br /> Hearts had come into the game with full determination but the manner of the goal sapped away their confidence.<br /> <br /> However, they battled their way back and pushed Bechem back for long spells. Cobbinah, Esso, Cosmos, and Kordie all went close but neither was able to put the ball at the back of the net.<br /> Coach Odoom threw on Razak for Akrofi with five minutes to the end of the first half.<br /> <br /> Hearts continued to press after the break and though they came mightily close on four occasions, a combination of diffident finishing and lack of luck ensured they could not find the back of the net.<br /> Cosmos tested the Bechem keeper with a snapshot just after the break. Addo followed pretty shortly but he blazed over after latching on Bonney's cross.<br /> <br /> Then the Phobians began to stretch the Bechem defense but when the opportunities opened, they just could not finish.<br /> <br /> Razak and Cobbinah combined in the box, but though the Hearts No.10 could not fire on target, the ball kindly fell for Cosmos at the back post but his effort was blocked on the line twice by the goalkeeper. Esso pounced on the rebound but he laid it for Bonney, yet the defender's shot was headed off the line for a corner kick.<br /> <br /> Hearts had done all they could to get the equalizer but they were finally rewarded in the last attack of the game. Addo sent a long ball from deep for Cosmos to chest and control before clipping it over the Bechem defense for Razak to chase.<br /> <br /> The Hearts No.17 got to the ball ahead of the keeper and rounded him before slotting home to earn us a point.<br /> <br /> More to follow .........................<br /> Hearts XI vs Bechem United: Theophilus Jackson, Chris Bonney (83 Selasie Bakai), Fatawu Mohammed, Robert Addo, Benjamin Agyare, Richard Akrofi (40 Patrick Razak), Daniel Kordie (59 Malik Akowuah), Aminu Alhassan, Cosmos Dauda, Joseph Esso, Winful Cobbinah<br /> Booked: Theo Jackson (53), Winful Cobbinah, Aminu Alhassan (87)<br /> Unused substitutes: Ben Mensah, Raddy Ovouka, Inusah Musah, Isaac Mensah<br /> <br /> <b>MATCH REFEREE:</b> S.B BORTEY<br /> <br /> <b>MOTM:</b> HAFIZ KONKONI<br /> <br /> <br />

I was overpaid as Deputy Minister; but I returned it – Martin Amidu

Then I have no need sitting here. I won’t even have the conscience to continue.”<br /> <br /> “Will I have the conscience to prosecute any other body for corruption if the CID finds something prosecutable and are not allowed to prosecute because Members of Parliament are involved? That is not fair,” he added.<br /> <br /> They should have returned the double payments<br /> <br /> Martin Amidu opined that, the MPs should have returned the double payments when they started receiving more monies in their accounts.<br /> <br /> He said it happened to him when he was serving the State as a Deputy Minister, but he returned it.<br /> <br /> “Money was ever paid into my account…When my bank notified me I told them to return it because that is not what me and the Attorney General agreed. I could have kept it. This is what they should have done. You don’t keep the money for six months, one year, two years or three years, you’ve left office, one and half years, you’ve not made any efforts to return it. Then when the CID begins seeing it now you are rationalizing it and yet when the ordinary man takes plantain one bunch, he goes to jail for 15 years. So what is the political elite telling us?”<br /> <br /> “If it’s been happening since 1992 and no one has seen it, now it has been seen, those responsible should bear the consequence,” he added.<br /> <br /> Source: citinewsroom.com<br /> <div> <br /></div>
