Things are hard in the country- CPP

-

 The Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has said they are saddened by what they call the insensitivity of the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government to the economic plight of the ordinary Ghanaian who is struggling to make end meet.

According to the General Secretary of the party, Nana Yaa Jantuah, Ghanaians are suffering in the country because of the increase in fuel prices.

The Finance Minister during the presentation of the budget statement announced a new levy to be charged by government in 2022 on all electronic transactions to widen the tax net and rope in the informal sector.

Speaking to the media, she said, “Through all the changing scenes of hardships and imposition of nuisance and killer taxes which have been handed over to Ghanaians throughout the tenure of this government, it is unthinkable that a 15% increase will be slapped on all government services and here it means that as it stands any Ghanaian having any transaction with government is to pay an additional 15% on all existing charges.

She added that, this is unacceptable and is a predetermined act of exploitation and a calculated attempt to ensure that the Ghanaian Masses are totally and completely improvised whilst a few of the ruling class stay wealthy and enjoy life to the fullest.

It’s difficult to remove the President from office- Obiri Boahen jabs Speaker

Deputy General Secretary for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Obiri Boahen has jabbed the speaker of Parliament, Hon. Rt. Alban Bagbin for stating that, he can remove President Akufo Addo from office.

According to him, it is difficult to remove the President from Office but easier to remove the Speaker from his position.

He added that, President has the ultimate power followed by the Vice President before the Speaker according to the Ghana’s constituency.

Alban Bagbin, Ghana's Speaker of Parliament has said the laws of the land give the House power to remove President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo from office anytime.

He asserted that the President cannot remove the Speaker of Parliament.

But Lawyer Obiri Boahen said, the President needs two-third of the Members of Parliament if he wants to impeach the Speaker but it’s very difficult to impeach the first gentleman of the land.

He added that, maybe the Speaker made the context in a playful mood.

….LAWYER OBIRI BOABEN…..

To the Editor,

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...

S&P last week downgraded Ghana’s foreign and local credit ratings from B-B’ to CCC+C with a negative economic outlook. According to S&P, the downgrade was due to intensifying financing and external pressures on the economy. But, Nana Akufo-Addo says, although he admits times are difficult, the economic situation of the country will turn around shortly. The President was speaking on a local radio station in Tamale. According to him, “Yes, the difficulties are there, and I want to minimize the difficulties that are affecting the lives of ordinary people in a very negative way.
