If you want to know the brains behind the killing of the two American citizens in Akosombo then read this. According to the story" The two who are leaders of the African American community in Akwamu were recently accused by the Chieftaincy Minister, Dr. Seidu Danaa, of illegally acting as chiefs."
"Private legal practitioner, Samson Lardy Anyenini late last year brought a suit on behalf of the leaders and against the Chieftaincy Minister whom they alleged had supported one Osofo to mistreat them using national security.

The Osofo was named in the suit as claiming right to the symbolic stool and skin created by the national house of chiefs to reintegrate disaporians.

Samson says that suit was withdrawn earlier this year after the Attorney-General (A-G) called for an amicable settlement."
The question is if the government has declared the status of the US citizens as an illegality, why did the Attorney General beg that the issue should be withdrawn from court. The answer is simple. Withdraw the case, kill the Afro Americans and case die.
I promise, The blood of these Afro Americans shall not be in vain. I will fight till the end.

So when will daily guide realize that attacking and destroying the 'government of Ghana' of which we are all included is self destruction. How can you report that "government chops pension cash" when indeed it was borrowed for other equally important reasons?
This is the reason why your NPP is killing themselves. You should know that your NPP cannot win power by some of this cheap politics but by doing what is right.
SHAME ON YOU! YOU EVIL PLOTTERS!

Inspite of the bad /negative news we read in the news daily, I have a different story to tell this time.

I just returned from the motherland and have nothing but Praise for a few people I met in the course of my trip.

As you are all aware, we have a big problem with Street names and in most cases these days, it is House numbers.
With the springing-up of sprawling communities all over Accra and the other regional capitals, hOUSE NUMBERING is another problem that householders face.

I needed these details for my Insurance documents and try as much as I could, I could track it on the House documents
A neighbour suggested I go to the MUNICIPAL Council ( a posh term for Town Council!!!)

After much wrangling (nothing new in Ghana) with cross-checking it with "non-existent" corresponding documents in the offices, (again nothing new!) it was suggested to me by one of their staff that I speak to the Municipal Chief Executive.
A bit apprehensive, but when I plucked up courage to do that, I met with him The Honourable John Kwao Sackey in his Office.

A second appointment led me to the Company that deals with Road mapping, Street numbering, in Ghana; Yes, in Ghana - RHO Tracks.

Well, I got back home the next day and a card bearing my House number yes H/No. ...../..../...
is what I am referring to. I Yaa Nkosuo has got hers, YOU TOO CAN!!!
My Thanks goes to all those involved in my Quest for the House number at the Imposing Municipal Council Building in Ga-East, Accra and assisted in everyway they could,

They have shown that the system works in the Motherland, as long as you go and find where it is AND for yourself.

Ignorance at media houses in Ghana must not be an acceptable reason for folks in opposition and or minority party members of Ghana's parliament to be misinformed or just as ignorant as the lay person. Has Nana Akufo-Addo, Sir John, Dr. Bawumia, Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Rockson Adofo, Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo, Justice Sarpong, and all those knowing in the NPP failed to educate people that the best run democratic nations and institutions do engage in the raiding employee pension funds with IOU's to fund construction projects and other needed expenditures? Editors at the Daily Guide could have read up on those aspects of the British and American government funding mechanisms since those are the nations Ghana's NPP supposedly draw its illusionary ideas and ideals for a vision. Daily Guide cannot educate it's dumb base via misinformation and expect excellence in society or from legislators.

This is not any different to what Robert Maxwell did to his employees’ pension funds in the UK. He stole and squandered pension funds of his employees.
What the government has done, which employees suspected all along, is theft.
No permission was sought from the employees before the government took their pension.
Employees must demand that government refund the money at the prevailing treasure bill interest rate.
Taking without permission is stealing.

Ndc thief machinery at work. They had something to hide thats why they refuse to make the acount transparent to the labour unions. NDC remain armed rubbers in the system all the time.

The money. NDC are full of thieves and they think they own Ghana. Now they are now showing their true colours not fit to govern the country. President is full of promises but empty delivery. How can the Government take pension money without any consultation with the stakeholders. This is unheard of and they must be punish via the ballot box.

TAKE THE GOVT TO COURT AND LET IT PAY THE MONEY WITH INTEREST BECAUSE THIS MONEY WAS BORROWED ILLIGALLY BY THE GOVT. HAD THE NOT BEEN BORROWED, IT WOULD HAVE YIELDED SOME INTEREST. WHY WILL THE GOVT THEN PAY THE MONEY WITHOUT THE NECESSARY INTEREST ON IT. THE GOVT COULD NOT EVEN TELL WHAT IT HAS BORROWED THE MONEY FOR, WHEN THE MINISTER WAS ASKED. HE RATHER TOLD PARLIAMENT MANY GOVT ALL OVER THE WORLD BORROW FROM PENTION FUNDS. GHANA HAS ITS LAWS, AND THEREFORE THAT STATEMENT VERY FOOLISH. HE DID NOT EVEN ANS WHAT THE MONEY WAS USED FOR. GHANA WILL NEVER SEE LIGHT IF GOVT CAN JUST DISH ITS HANDS ON PEOPLES MONEY WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE WITH ANY GOVT THAT COMES INTO POWER.

Without the dramatics of course.

But the question remains the same, why is government playing with workers pensions? How many bonds will government issue? We haven't reaped any rewards from the high risk bonds which were floated last year, in fact, we are at the losing end, so why again is government playing with workers pensions. Government "borrowed the money to meet fiscal challenges"?

Ghanaian workers, we are doomed!
