 National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi has called on the media to start following the foot steps of their counterparts in USA and start blacklisting the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. According to him, the Vice President does not deserve media coverage because he has been untruthful to Ghanaians and also failed to make his numerous promises come to pass while in Government. “Dr Bawumia is now at par with Donald Trump, in fact he’s gotten the level where the media have to blacklist like Twitter did to Donald Trump. He does not deserve to be heard at all…,” he said on Angel FM’s Anɔpa Bɔfoɔ on Wednesday.

A toddler has lost his life under tragic circumstances at Awutu Ahuntem near Bawjiase in the Central Region. The one and half-year-old died when a truckload of sand was offloaded on him on October 13. This followed a bizarre turn of events after his father had requested that sand be brought onto their premises for construction work. Upon arrival of the tipper truck, the father directed the driver to a site where he was supposed to deposit the material. Little did he know that his son had followed him to the said area. The truck proceeded to offload the sand and departed. The father subsequently returned to the house where he noticed the absence of the toddler. They formed a search party and combed the vicinity but to no avail. The family was advised to search the area where the sand had been offloaded earlier. They heeded the advice and dug through the sand where they, unfortunately, discovered the lifeless body of the infant. This has left the family in shock and disbelief as his fath...

 The 2020 flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has received his first vaccination against the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). He took his vaccine on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, at the Police Hospital together with his wife, former First Lady, Mrs. Lordina Mahama. Mr. Mahama after taking the vaccine urged Ghanaians to disregard the conspiracy theories about the vaccine and get vaccinated. He said the only way the country could win the fight against the virus is to vaccinate as many people as possible. “I believe that all Ghanaians should avail themselves for the vaccines and indeed in Africa, we should be less hesitant about taking vaccines because all of us took vaccines when we were growing up, and it is due to these vaccines that today our children do not get all kinds of diseases like polio and smallpox among others. So vaccines are useful in preserving our health and so Ghanaians should disregard all these rumours.” He said, “I agreed...

 With three days to the determination of the 2020 presidential election petition, the Judicial Service has advised the media to be measured in their reportage on the case. The Service is particularly concerned about what it described as hateful, spiteful and offensive statements against the seven Justices of the Supreme Court hearing the petition. It said apart from undermining the administration of justice, any hateful statements targeted towards a judge must be treated seriously owing to the history of this country where three judges were abducted and murdered years ago. The warning addressed to some specific media houses was contained in a statement released by the solicitors for the service, Sory@Law, and signed by its managing partner, Mr Thaddeus Sory. “Apart from the fact that these statements and speeches directly mention some of the Justices hearing the petition, a number of your publications directly insinuate that the decisions of the Justices presiding over the matter a...
