As things started changing I advised myself.”<br /> <br /> She said it was regrettable that decency in the NDC was lost to the extent that even her husband was disrespected.<br /> <br /> “We reached that level where the respect for the founder was not there,” she bemoaned on a Personality Profile show on Accra-based Joy FM that hosted her on Thursday.<br /> <br /> According to her, she was happy to see the back of the NDC party in government in the last elections.<br /> <br /> “I am happy there is a change… I am very happy…because you can’t have a situation where we claim to be doing well, calling ourselves lower-middle income group, and in a miserable situation,” she said.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, she told the opposition that the new administration cannot use 100 days to fix the frail economy which was destroyed by the past administration in the last eight years.<br /> <br /> “A party has taken eight years to destroy us and you expect somebody to use 100 days to fix it?” she queried.<br /> <br /> <br /> Written by: Jonathan Adjei | GhanaPa.com<br /> <div> <br /></div>

Potable water availability, how much can we spend to provide those items? What about the neighbourhood community? … All those are matters of data. You don’t plan without data; the so-called 40-year plan that was developed under the Mahama administration was to me, nonsense. How do you plan without data?”<br /> <br /> “You don’t have the adequate staff at the local level of the planning authority, which is the district assembly to collect and give you the data. At the sectoral level, no data is available because people are reluctant to release the data and you said you have done a plan”, he wondered.<br /> <br /> The former Senior Presidential Aide and Head of Policy Evaluation and Oversight Unit of the Office of the President from 2009 to 2013, said in his opinion: “A plan is one that is monetised and quantified, without these two elements, there is no plan”.<br /> <br /> Source: classfmonline.com<br /> <div> <br /></div>

He currently serves as Minister of Finance. He was appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo on 10 January 2017.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <h3> Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta presented the 2019 Budget statement to the Parliament house under the theme - “A Stronger Economy, for Jobs and Prosperity”</h3> 1. Right Honourable Speaker, Honourable Members of Parliament, today the fifteenth day of November 2018, on the authority of the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, I beg to move that this august House approves the Financial Policy of the Government of the Republic of Ghana for the year ending 31st December, 2019.<br /> <br /> 2. Mr. Speaker the  authority of His Excellency the President, and in keeping with the requirement under Article 179 of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, may I respectfully present the Budget Statement and Economic Policies of Government for 2019 to this Honourable House.<br /> <br /> 3. Mr. Speaker, this statement is an abridged version of the 2019 Budget Statement. I would like to request the Hansard Department to capture the entire Budget Statement and Economic Policy.<br /> <br /> 4. I also submit before this august House, the 2018 Annual Report on the Petroleum Funds, in accordance with Section 48 of the Petroleum Revenue Management Act, 2011 (Act 815), as amended.<br /> <br /> 5.   Mr. Speaker, the theme of this year’s budget is “A Stronger Economy, for Jobs and Prosperity”. The budget represents the third of four budget statements of the government.<br /> <br /> It, therefore, offers us an opportunity to take a mid-term review of the performance of the Government in managing the economy and how we intend to accelerate the programme of growing the economy, protecting the vulnerable, and creating jobs and prosperity for the Ghanaian people over the next financial year.<br /> <br /> <br /> 6. I do not take lightly the significance of this moment and opportunity we are granted annually to determine how the precious assets of Ghana – our people, our land, our natural resources and our treasury should be stewarded for national growth and human development.<br /> <br /> 7. Despite the challenges, we approach this process with genuine humility and gratitude to a great God.<br /> <br /> We recognize that while current resources are insufficient to meet every need and every demand of every Ghanaian, there are no limitations on our collective potential, our will and our hope that the sacrifices we make and the seeds we sow today will achieve sustainable results putting Ghana on an irreversible path of enviable empowerment.<br /> <br /> 8. With all the humility I can muster, Mr. Speaker, permit me to say that I am proud to say that the Akufo-Addo government is delivering on this four-year resounding mandate that the people of Ghana has given us.<br /> <br /> This is evident in the impressive strides the nation has made in the past 22 months.<br /> <br /> 9. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the President, I wish to thank you all, the citizens of this country, for your patience, perseverance, sacrifices, activism and partnership that you have extended to this government.<br /> <br /> So far-reaching and non-partisan has these national sacrifices been, that even now, some members of the Minority in Parliament have decided to lead the campaign for cleaner environment by dumping their gas- guzzling Toyota Land cruisers to ride bicycles to work.<br /> <br /> For example, a former Deputy Minister for Power, during the unforgiving ‘Dumsor’ era under President John Dramani Mahama, was seen two evenings ago riding his bicycle to a luxury furniture shop on the Spintex Road.<br /> <br /> 10. Yes, Mr. Speaker, we have, in the last two budget years,<br /> taken some tough decisions to get the country out of some very rough seas. We are not proud of the fact that there is still hardship in the country.<br /> <br /> But we are comforted by the fact that we have managed to ease the impact of the hardships that the Ghanaian people had been resigned to prior to December 7, 2016.<br /> <br /> We are not there yet. We still have a long way to go in fulfilling the manifest destiny of this blessed land. Indeed, we are being repaid for “the years the locusts have eaten”.<br /> <br /> 11. So, Mr. Speaker, what is, however, clear is that the nation is moving forward under this government and moving forward in the right direction.<br /> <br /> 12.We are now on course to exit the IMF programme by the end of this year. It has been a collective effort by all of us – Government, for exercising the kind of macro-economic competence and discipline that was evidently lacking in the past; and, the people for their patience, understanding, and keeping faith with their government.<br /> <br /> The programme may have had its critics because of the constraints it imposed. But it was a necessary pill because by 2014, the government then had lost its fiscal discipline and had very little choice but to seek the bailout.<br /> <br /> We are grateful to the IMF and are determined to maintain a combination of economic discipline and vibrancy that will ensure that we will not have to be rescued in that manner in the future.<br /> <br /> 13. Mr. Speaker, the philosophy of this government has not been to throw our hands in the air and offer excuses.<br /> <br /> The President, of course, set the standard in his first State of the Nation address. He said: “I was not elected by the overwhelming majority of the Ghanaian people to complain. I was elected to get things done. I was elected to fix what is broken and my government and I are determined to do just that.”<br /> <br /> 14.   Mr. Speaker, it is important to remember what it was in order to appreciate the work that has been done to fix the mess:<br /> <br /> Declining economic growth that fell from 14 percent 2011 to 3.7 percent in 2016;<br /> <br /> ● Declining growth in agriculture and negative growth in industry;<br /> <br /> ● Rising unemployment that resulted in the formation of the Unemployed Graduates Association;<br /> <br /> ● High Fiscal Deficits reaching 9.3 percent of GDP in 2016;<br /> <br /> ● Fast rising Public Debts which pushed the debt-to-GDP ratio to 73.1 percent at the end of 2016;<br /> <br /> ● Fast-falling Cedi, affecting even the meagre profits that street hawkers struggle to make;<br /> <br /> ● High interest rates killing businesses;<br /> <br /> ● Effective return to “Cash and Carry” under NHIS as a result of Government arrears<br /> <br /> ● Weak Banking System and unstable financial system;<br /> <br />   <br /> <h4> Read and listen to the full presentation by Ken Ofori-Atta:</h4> <audio autoplay="1" controls="1" height="45" id="mp3_newsaudio" width="100%"> <source src="https://ofmtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ken-ofori-atta.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></source> Your browser does not support HTML5 Audio on OFMTV.COM </audio> <br /> <h4> <a href="https://ofmtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ghana_budget.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO READ FULL GHANA 2019 TEXT BUDGET: Ken Ofori-Atta presents 2019 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of Ghana Government</a></h4>   <br /> <strong>Source: <a href="http://ghanasky.com/" target="_blank">GhanaSky.com - The sky is our limit</a> </strong>

Ex-President Mahama to pick ex-Dep. BoG Governor Dr Asiama as 2020 Running Mate

BoG Governor </td></tr> </tbody></table> Former President John Dramani Mahama who is lacing his boots for a comeback in 2020, MyNewsGH.com can report, is keenly considering the choice of former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama to partner him to win back power from the Akufo-Addo- Bawumia-led government in 2020.<br /> <br /> A highly placed source near the former President an a player in his inner circle confirmed to MyNewsGH.com that it is settled that the former President will stage a comeback and part of a revision of strategy, he and a close circle deliberated on selecting four (4) personalities shortlist to partner the former President into the main elections. The list is supposed to be on standby and submitted to a committee that will sit right after the NDC Flagbearership race to choose one of them<br /> Of this four names, Dr Johnson Asiama stands tall as a result of his age, general appeal, technocrat background, unblemished record and hailing from the Volta Region and our source confirmed Mahama himself likes the choice.<br /> <br /> We have also been reliably informed that contender for the flagbearership position of the NDC, Dr Ekow Spio Garbrah has met secretly with Mr John Mahama asking for him to be possibly considered for the running mate slot when Mr Mahama is elected.<br /> <br /> Other names on the list include a woman and a man from the Volta Region and Ashanti Region respectively who both served in the Mahama administration in important positions without blemish.<br /> The former President Mahama we are informed, while he has his list, is open to leaving the entire decision for his choice of running mate to Founder of the party, John Rawlings to appease him and draw him to campaign for the party.<br /> <br /> When this happens, insiders believe Rawlings will bring his daughter Zanetor Rawlings, who will make a play for the top job after Mahama, whether he wins in 2020 or not.<br /> <br /> While tentatively the NDC was supposed to hold its National Flagbearership election in September, our source says this could be pushed to January 2019 while Mr Mahama is most likely the next flagbearer, he will be expected to announce his running mate ”by April 2019 to give ample time for zoning the country and campaigning across”.<br /> <br /> It is being speculated that though the Akufo-Addo government is somehow ‘afraid’ of the candidature of Mr Mahama who has mass appeal among NDC diehards, the NPP intends to replay to voters the ‘old sins’ of Mr Mahama which includes corruption, loose-talk and impunity, to make him unappealing, but for this, our source said, “we are prepared for that, we know their plan already”.<br /> <br /> It is perhaps in this sphere that the choice of Dr Johnson Asiama as a ‘clean’ running mate comes into the picture. Efforts by MyNewsGH.com’s Nana Yaw Adom to reach out to Dr Asiama proved futile as he was unable to respond.<br /> <br /> Earlier, Spokesperson of the former President vehemently denied a statement that made the rounds on social media that former President Mahama will no longer be running again. That statement convinced many observers of the political scene that Mr Mahama’s comeback is cast in stone.<br /> Our source disputed that the choice of Dr Asiama is a copy of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia trick where Dr Bawumia was brought into the fold as  a technocrat and he dazzled voters with a breathe of fresh air and his economic analysis.<br /> <br /> Source: mynewsgh

Even before the most anticipated expose would be premiered, the GFA president, Kwasi Nyantakyi was picked up by the police after the president gave an order for him to be investigated for using his name to almost win some deal.<br /> <br /> Maverick politician and NPP MP, Kennedy Agyapong has been on Anas’s trail since then, threatening to expose Anas as well because according to him, Anas is also corrupt and takes money from some of the people he records to expose and those who are able to pay, will have their corrupt acts taken out of the video.<br /> <br /> Well, it seems, Kennedy Agyapong is not the only one accusing Anas of being corrupt. Another NPP member and regional chairman of the NPP in the Ashanti region, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi has also come out to say that, Anas is corrupt and that soon, he would also come out to expose him.<br /> <br /> In a video teaser that was posted by Adom Tv on their Social media handle, Chairman Wontumi was heard saying:<br /> <br /> “I don’t know Anas in NPP; I know Anas to be a Mahama Boy. He works for the NDC. He is a very corrupt guy and very soon I will come out. I once pulled a gun on him”, he said.<br /> <br /> “If you take his tapes to the lab, you can detect they have been cut and some taken out; that is what will make you know he is a liar”, he said.<br /> <br /> Recall that, Mr Agyapong revealed on Adom FM’s morning show yesterday, June 3rd, 2018 on “Dwaso Nsem” that Anas had tried to “blackmail” Chairman Wontumi a number of times but failed.<br /> <br /> “He wanted to set up chairman Wontumi; he tried setting Wontumi up with some women”,Mr Agyapong asserted.<br /> <br /> <b>Watch Full Video Below:</b><br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="520" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fghanasky%2Fvideos%2F683626895302869%2F&show_text=0&width=720" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="720"></iframe>

We all know who was used to relegate me to the background. I don’t need to mention a name for you to decipher who it was, but you are quite aware whom I am referring to. As a matter of fact, I was made redundant” Mr Amissah-Arthur reflected moodily.<br /> <br /> Though he fell short of mentioning the name of his replacement, it is clear the former Vice President was referring to the wife of former President John Mahama, Mrs Lordina Mahama.<br /> <br /> It could be recalled that the relevance of Vice President Amissah-Arthur was negligibly nonexistent as Lordina was seen all over the country, cutting sods for projects, commissioning some and acting as though she were second only to her husband, John Mahama.<br /> <br /> That development became topical at the time and many gurus in the NDC had complained bitterly about it but all to no avail. Mahama stoically decided to stick to his wife using her Lordina Foundation as the smokescreen.<br /> <br /> Vice President Amissah-Arthur was seen to be a pale shadow of himself as his counterpart in the able personality of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia kept on terrorizing him at the time and gave the NDC hell with his intellectual analysis of the woes of Ghana’s economy and proposed solutions to deal with all the challenges the country was confronted with.<br /> <br /> Mr Amissah-Arthur revealed this juicy titbit in a telephone conversation he had with one confidant of Professor Joshua Alabi who has asked for anonymity in this story. He indicates that the former Vice President has thrown his weight to Professor Alabi as he intensifies his campaign to lead the NDC into the next elections<br /> <br /> Source: otecfmghana.com<br /> <div> <br /></div>

We are expecting who will win power for us in 2020 and the only person we see very potent in winning power for us in 2020 is John Dramani Mahama; they should leave it or take, simpliciter!” he told sit-in host Kwaku Owusu-Adjei on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5FM Friday.<br /> <br /> For him, President John Dramani Mahama’s future will be determined by the party insisting the NDC will shove the flagbearership position down his[Mahama] throat as he’s the best choice for the party now.<br /> <br /> Flagbearer aspirant of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah is calling for strong competition in deciding who emerges the Presidential candidate of the party for the 2020 general elections.<br /> <br /> According to him, the largest opposition party has not had competition in the two previous elections which saw ex-President John Mahama being elected as the party’s Presidential candidate.<br /> <br /> “NDC needs competition, in 2012 we agreed to have no competition, in 2016 we agreed to have no competition. We cannot be a party where every time we only correlate people but we don’t allow competition. Competition is good for the party, it’s good for the candidate because it pushes us to give our best. If you don’t have competition in your party when you go to the national elections you’ll also lose because you’ve not tested the ground, you’ve not actually activated your members. It’s like a farm where the activation has not taken place and you’ll find that you don’t have a bountiful harvest,” Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah told Francis Abban on the Morning Starr Thursday.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> He further urged members of the NDC to vote for a presidential aspirant who can serve two presidential terms if the party wins power.<br /> <br /> But Joseph Yamin argued that Dr. Spio-Garbrah is deluded in his thinking that the main opposition NDC is seeking for a Flagbearer that could lead the party for two terms as President.<br /> <br /> He stated: “the point for us is we don’t need a two-term Flagbearer, that is not our target for now. Our main goal is to win the 2020 elections and not who’ll serve two terms.”<br /> <br /> “I’ve been a fan all this while, but I’m sorry to say that Spio Garbrah is gradually disappointing me with his statement and politics. I’ve been an advocate of him and I see that he’s a politically mature person; Somebody knowledgeable and an asset for the NDC. However, I’m worried about his statements of late. I sometimes ask myself what is making him so desperate to go out there and be making those statements?” he wondered.<br /> <br /> Source: kasapafmonline.com

They, therefore, wanted the court to order the EC to kickstart the implementation of the Act since it was its statutory obligation.<br /> <br /> In the judgement, the court held that the EC had failed to justify the delay in implementation of the Act.<br /> <br /> According to the court although the EC was aware of its obligation to implement the Act, it “deliberately” failed to implement and gave no cogent justification<br /> <br /> “The 1st respondent (EC) is only good at reciting the challenges in implementing the Act and not finding solutions to the challenges”, Mr Justice Yeboah said.<br /> <br /> Also the court ruled that it was “outrageous “ for the EC to set itself an indefinite deadline to implement the Act without taking into consideration the rights of Ghanaians in the diaspora.<br /> <br /> credit: Graphic.com.gh

We spend more time destroying Nana Addo - instead of focusing and spending time to preach good works of John Mahama and that made Nana Addo to get more sympathy votes.<br /> <br /> “So to me, I blame NDC communicators and the afternoon shows which gave the platform for all that went go on” Captain of the Drillship said.<br /> <br /> Moving forward, he said that John Mahama is a good product that's not difficult to sell; a ready product that already have appealing buyers so the NDC should work on their communication machinery and bring John Mahama back in 2020.<br /> <br /> “If NDC want to win 2020, they have no choice than to bring John Mahama back in 2016, if the architect is ready to do the job why bring someone from outside?” he asked rhetorically.<br /> <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fghanasky%2Fvideos%2F657280741270818%2F&show_text=0&width=640" width="640" height="400" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>
