Give me 4 more years to do more for you – Akufo-Addo to newly created Ahafo Region

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has asked residents of the newly created Ahafo Region to renew his mandate so his government can consolidate the gains chalked since his assumption of office.

Rounding up his two-day tour of the Region on Sunday with visits to Hwidiem, Goaso, Dadiesoaba, Mim, Akrodie, Kukuom and Sankore, the President noted that Ghanaians have had an opportunity to witness at first hand the impact of the policies and programmes implemented by his Government.

“If you believe that the policies of my government have had a positive impact on your lives, and you have not regretted voting for me, I will urge you to continue to have faith in me. In the December elections, let it be four more years for Nana to do more for you,” he said.

He also urged residents to vote for NPP parliamentary candidates, so as to deliver another decisive victory for the Ghanaians.

“Come and join me on the ‘elephant. The ‘umbrella’ has nothing too good to offer the people of Ghana, as their record in office shows,” he stressed.

Touching on the spate of electoral violence that has characterized some parts of the Ahafo Region, President Akufo-Addo assured residents of the Ahafo Region, particularly in Asutifi South and Asunafo South that the days of violence in their elections are over.

“For this year’s election, I want everyone to understand that, so long as I am President, irrespective of your party affiliation, anyone who wants to perpetuate violence will have to deal with the laws of our land.

That person will not go scot-free this time around, particularly in Asutifi South and Asunafo South. We do not want such acts of lawlessness in Ghana”. He added.

President Akufo-Addo also inspected ongoing projects at Hwidiem SHS, and commissioned a business resource centre at Goaso.

At Dadiesoaba, the President commissioned a newly constructed maternity ward at the Dadiesoaba Health Centre and paid a courtesy call on the Omanhene of Goaso, and inspected ongoing construction works at Akrodie Senior High School.

GAPNEWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH GHANA l am not too old neither am I too young and certainly I can’t admit to knowing all the problems confronting our dear Nation Ghana, but suffice as it will I have had the speck removed from my eyes and have seen the trajectory of our Governance process as a Nation with my eyes and have come to the conclusion of the very facts I dare state beneath. The trouble in Ghana is simply and squarely a leadership crisis finding its expression in the “volcanic” way of our practice of politics in Ghana. Let me hasten to indicate that there is nothing wrong with the Ghanaian, our land, our climate, our water, and our ability to think and do things for ourselves. The Ghanaian crisis stems from the roots of the unwillingness and the wanton disrespect for patriotism on the part of its leaders to rise to the responsibility of performance beneficial to the good people of Ghana. We have seen quite fairly or if you will strongly in the epoch of our political li...

GAPNEWS The need for Ghana to prepared for future uncertainty that could affect the economy. Ghana is endowed with gold and oil palms and situated between the trans-Saharan trade routes and the African coastline visited by successive European traders, the area known today as Ghana has been involved in all phases of Africa's economic development during the last forty five years. In 1981 a military government under the leadership of Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings came to power. Calling itself the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), the Rawlings regime initially blamed the nation's economic problems on the corruption of previous governments. Rawlings soon discovered, however, that Ghana's problems were the result of forces more complicated than economic abuse. Following a severe drought in 1983 (fire out break), the government accepted stringent International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank loan conditions and instituted the Economic Recovery Program ...

GAPNEWS Ghana moves to capture US$2.4bn China soya market. The hefty tariff on soybeans from the United States has caused a 17 percent import decrease of the produce into China in February 2019, being the lowest level recorded since 2015, General Administration of Customs – Chinese statistical agency, has revealed. In 2017, U.S. soybean exports to China reached a volume of US$14.573 billion. Currently, the United States is the world’s largest soybean producer and second largest exporter, after Brazil. On the other hand, China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans – imported 91 million tonnes in 2018 market year as against 94 million tones the previous year. This suggests that the trade war between the two largest economies has created the opportunity for more than US$2.4 billion market share of soybeans that countries producing it can compete. Although, imports of soybean to China has reduced by 17 percent, this does not mean that consumption has reduced in similar terms...
