HEADS MUST ROLL BUT THE PUBLIC MUST KNOW WHY.

Ouch!! Farewell to the former Energy Minister, Mr. Boakye Agyarko. Well, His Excellency Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo has booted him out of his government over reasons media rumors say includes the renegotiated AMERI deal. A communiqué from the presidency on August 6, 2018, indicated the President has relieved the former minister of his duties. But what I find interesting is that the communiqué doesn’t detail why he has been sacked.

But for some time now, this renegotiated AMERI deal which parliament has put on ice has been one of the main issues in the media especially when it was said that the President was misled into signing the deal. Really? Misled? Did the President not have enough time to read through the deal or he didn’t even read it all? Let’s take it that he was misled into signing the deal, by whom? Could that be part of why the energy minister has been sacked?

Former Energy Minister, Mr. Boakye Agyarko.

We live in a country where high ranking members of governments are relieved of their duties without any explanations to the public. It is not fair. The government is there to serve the public and so anytime any member of the government is sacked, the public must be made to know why, and even more importantly, the repercussions for the reasons accounting for the sacking of the individual.

In the case of the sacking of Mr. Boakye Agyarko, no concrete reasons have been given. The reasons available now are just speculations in the media space. Now, does his sacking also indicate that he was the individual who misled the President into signing the renegotiated AMERI deal? If yes, what are the punishments for misleading a public official and in this case, the first public official of the country? Even so, was he alone in this act if it proves to be so? What then happens to the others? The public need answers, Mr. President.

My religious beliefs sidestepped Not a good idea, I know But let’s do this Some say it’s the end of the world I say, maybe it’s just the beginning of it Maybe God is preparing a whole new generation to take over I mean, there are scriptural connotations to suggest so But, …………………….. Fill in the blanks I want to see my friends again I miss them People are dying People are dying Some have recovered and others are still recovering Some are also getting sick We are to practice social distancing Self-isolate Quarantine It’s a whole new world of superficial practices I see two possibilities Maybe, this new world is perpetual Maybe it’s just temporary Even if there comes a cure for this claw-clenching, deadly fisticuffs punching coronavirus Can we really come back to our old selves What if we are to remain this way to prevent getting infected Sure there may have been a cure for it But would you risk getting infected I pray this w

QUENCHING THE DESIRE TO DRINK; SAVE THAT PREGNANCY

-
In many African homes, marriages have broken due to pregnancy and birth issues. Usually, the blame is shoved down the woman’s throat. Either she is unable to conceive or miscarriage has always characterized the aftermath of her conception. It is an unfortunate reality yet many women ignorantly or otherwise continue to indulge in the very factors that catapulted their miscarriage. Miscarriages happen quite often to many women in Ghana. According to a 2017 health data, more than 10% of pregnant women experience miscarriages. One of the foremost causes of miscarriages is alcohol intake during pregnancies – the focus of this essay. The menace also happens due to many other factors like infection, hormonal imbalances, age, uterine abnormalities, etc. There is a strong relationship between alcohol intake while pregnant and miscarriage. In fact, statistics suggest that drinking even small amounts of alcohol while pregnant has a 19% chance of terminating the pregnancy. There is a notio

PRICKLY PRIDE

Ghana, the doctor of digitalization How your inhabitants are reaping its benefits All the way to suffocation Don’t you feel its fragrance   Oh Ghana, high praise indeed How that has rendered us rancorous Now we’re in need Of the surplus of the perceived generous   Dashing in haze Kneeling at feet in pride Is it just a phase Just like the looks of a bride   Or should we go back to the dark days Far from these ember days
