Election: (CSD-Ghana) Backs The NDC’s “Enough is Enough” Protest In Demand For A Credible Voters’Register

Image
The CSD-Ghana believes strongly that the foundation of any free and fair election is a credible register and as such, any effort towards having a credible Voters’ Register must be supported by all democracy lovers. The Electoral Commission has admitted to many errors in the Electoral Roll, as pointed out by the NDC, but has failed to allow for an independent forensic audit into the same. The EC, for example, has admitted that there were illegal vote transfers in Sagnerigu, Pusiga and Tamale South by an Electoral Commission Official in Tamale South. According to the EC, these illegal transfers went through because there was no “liveness check” mechanism in place to prevent such situations.  The NDC says the situation is widespread so there must be an audit. This is a fair and reasonable call to make, but the EC has remained intransigent. CSD-Ghana stands ready to fully participate in this protest and asks other democracy lovers to join us to mount enough pressure on the Electoral Commis

BREAKING NEWS: We feel let down and we feel betrayed by the Majority Caucus, Haruna Iddrisu

Image
  Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu says his side is disappointed by the sudden U-turn by the Majority Caucus after their earlier threats to boycott the 2023 Budget if it is presented by the embattled Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta. According to Mr. Iddrisu, they feel betrayed. “We feel let down and we feel betrayed by the Majority Caucus who have shown no wit in supporting us with our impeachment process within the letter and spirit of Article 82 of the 1992 constitution. We are not abandoning our censorship motion. We are in it for the long haul and we will insist that the letter and spirit of article 82 are fully respected and an outcome determined by secret vote ultimately after a debate on the Committee’s report is submitted to plenary,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday. The Minority Caucus are pursuing a censure motion to dismiss Ken Ofori-Atta from office for what they say is his gross mismanagement of the country’s economy. Some 98 NPP MPs in Parliament recently held a

BREAKING NEWS: Aisha Huang changes legal team; replaces Effah Dartey with 2 new lawyers

Image
Embattled Chinese galamsey queen, Aisha Huang,has removed Capt. (rtd.) Nkrabea Effah Dartey as her lawyer. He has been replaced with two private legal practitioners, Miracle Attachey and Hope Agboado. The former New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP has been legal counsel for the controversial Chinese national since 2018, representing her both at the circuit and high courts in the first galamsey prosecutions that were eventually discontinued by the state. Capt. (rtd.) Nkrabea Effah Dartey also represented Aisha Huang on the new charges bothering on illegal mining and illegal entry into the country; both of which cases are running concurrently at the Circuit and High Courts. He has already cross-examined the 1st and 2nd prosecution witnesses and was scheduled to cross-examine the 3rd prosecution witness on Monday until the new lawyers announced themselves in court as replacing him. It remains unclear why Aisha Huang would replace Capt. (rtd.) Nkrabea Effah Dartey as her lawyer.   Credit: Citinew

BREAKING NEWS: Sports: Qatar's Dream Turns To Nightmare

Image
  Inner Valencia, the goal scorer in middle After the controversies and conjecture, a football was finally kicked in the Qatar World Cup, 12 years on from being named as hosts. A day that began with real excitement with the opening ceremony, Qatar's dream turned into a nightmare as they became the first hosts in the competition's history to lose their opening game. The Asian champions, a tournament they won back in 2019, offered no threat in the final third and were unable to test Ecuador goalkeeper Hernan Galindez once. South Africa have been the only hosts not to make it out of the group in 2010, but Qatar could follow as the second with two difficult games left to play. Ecuador, meanwhile, have set themselves up in a superb position to progress, extending their excellent recent form to one defeat in 16 games and keeping a clean sheet in their last seven. They were clearly the better side and had the ball in the back of the net after 160 seconds, but Valencia's close rang

JUST IN: Economic hardship in Ghana has taken a toll on offerings to God. - John Mahama

Image
 Former President, John Dramani Mahama, has asserted that the current economic hardship in Ghana has taken a toll on offerings to God.  According to him, followers of Christ are unable to give huge offerings in church due to the economic hardship, which has affected the pockets of Ghanaians.  He was speaking at the 175th anniversary thanksgiving service of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Ho.  “We must always spread Christian love, especially in this time, when money doesn’t like noise. Especially in this time when we all agree that times are hard. This is the time we must show our Christian charity by loving our neighbours as ourselves. And so whatever little you have to share, you should share with your neighbour. I mean we could tell the hardship in the system from the appeal for funds. When it was 2000, madam chair and a few people came and donated, then it came down to 1000, then to 500, then to 200 and 100. And when it got to the silver collection, 1 Cedi, 2 Cedis, the plac
