The Chief Executive Officer of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah is appealing to the Ministry of Works and Housing to help desilt the Odaw River in order to help prevent flooding within the Accra metropolis when the rains start. According to him, the assembly does not have the capacity to dredge the Odaw River, which receives most of the waste water within the metropolis and channel them to the sea. Mr Sowah who was speaking on Accra-based Star FM, said his outfit has reached out to the Ministry of Works and Housing on the issue but he is yet to receive any feedback from the ministry. "If it rains heavily tomorrow, there is going to be a challenge around the Odaw areas," he observed, noting that "the Odaw River is chocked and will become a big challenge to the AMA in saving lives in case the heavy down pours begin.” Mr Sowah, however, explained that government has secured an initial funding of US$150, 000,000 from the World Bank to...

Aside a registration fee of $700, candidates are to provide proof of medical education to sit for the examination and must meet the pass score of 50 per cent in the about six disciplines tested in the ...

A one-year-old boy has been stolen at the Takoradi market popularly known as Market Circle. Francis Mawusi Ahiabenu was stolen from his mother on Friday by a woman believed to be in her 40s. According to the mother of the boy, Nana Akosua, the suspect who was dressed in a long dress with a veil engaged her in a hearty conversation prior to the act. She told Joy News’ Western Regional Correspondent, Ina-Thalia Quansah, that she first noticed the suspect in front of her sister’s shop as she cleaned her older kid.

Ghanaian musician, Sister Deborah says cautioning females against the wearing of mini-skirt to help curb rape activities doesn’t make sense to her. According to her, she thinks what a girl chooses to wear is no excuse for any man to rape her. She explained that anyone with a clear conscience and a clean mind wouldn’t rape one wearing a mini or a short skirt. “It is like telling me not to wear a nice shirt or use a nice phone because it will be stolen. This is total nonsense, because if you steal or you rape it is a sin and anyone with a good mind will not do that. Besides, we should be dressing according to the weather; why should we suffer in this weather wearing suit and tie all the time?” she quizzed. Speaking on Accra FM on Thursday, she added that no one has the right to anybody’s body and therefore shouldn’t be affected when anyone decides to show some skin. “Does exposing my skin chock the gutters with dirt? Does it cause the cedi to drop? I mean I don’t see why exp...

We are reaching the business end of the 2018/19 season of football and like every other season, we have witnessed brilliant football all around the world. In football, every position is important, but the midfield governs a team's performance. The midfielders breakdown opposition play by making timely interceptions, they dictate the proceedings in the middle and they also create goalscoring opportunities. The midfielders also tend to do the dirty work for the team, so that their attackers can do the damage upfield. It was pretty difficult to pick out the top 10 midfielders in the world at the moment, as there have been a number of brilliant performances in the middle of the park.
