Asiedu Nketia urges patience among NDC members

National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has urged party members who have not yet received government appointments to remain loyal and continue supporting President John Mahama’s leadership. Speaking during a visit to the Asuogyaman district, Mr. Asiedu Nketia explained that the number of qualified individuals far outweighs the number of available government positions, making it impossible to appoint every member immediately. “It is better to be a floor member in government than to be the same in opposition. Those teasing you for not receiving appointments are simply jealous. Stay focused and wait for your time,” he advised. He emphasized that President Mahama has a full four-year term and may carry out reshuffles, creating new opportunities for dedicated party members to serve in government. Addressing branch and constituency executives, ward coordinators, assembly members, and other groups, […]

FDA to inspect school food vendors in Central Region

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) in the Central Region has announced plans to inspect the certifications of food vendors in schools to ensure that pupils are served safe and healthy meals. Regional Director of the FDA, Francisca Anokye, said the initiative is aimed at preventing uncertified vendors from operating in schools, a move she believes will protect children from foodborne illnesses. She revealed this during a food safety training programme held in Cape Coast for School Health Education Promoters (SHEP). The programme was organised in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and forms part of broader efforts to improve food safety practices. Francisca Anokye noted that food vendors across the region are also being trained under the partnership with FAO to curb outbreaks of food-related illnesses, with Ghana already recording four such incidents this year.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu says MPs face immense pressure

Member of Parliament for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese and Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has described the role of MPs as one of the most challenging in Ghana’s governance structure. Speaking on Channel One, Mr. Ofosu admitted that he underestimated the weight of the position until he took office himself. “I must indicate that contesting and running for MP has opened my eyes to a lot of things. I used to underestimate the kind of stress that MPs come under,” he said. He explained that MPs face relentless pressure because they are the most visible and approachable representatives of their constituencies. “They are the face of the constituencies. They are the ones that people know. So people go to them with all manner of requests that stretch them to their limits,” he noted. Mr. Ofosu further argued […]
