[ads3] The President and Board Chairman of the Ghana Rugby Football Union and former Asante Kotoko Chairman, Herbert Mensah has heralded the move by the leaders of the country to publicly take the first jab of the COVID-19 vaccine in the face of the numerous conspiracy theories. President Akufo-Addo and his wife Rebecca Akufo-Addo were the first to take the Covid-19 vaccine in public on Monday at the 37 Military Hospital and same was done for the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and wife Samira Bawumia at the Police Hospital in Accra.[ads2] This according to Herbert Mensah is an assurance…
[ads2] A biochemist at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Professor Peter Twumasi has threw more light on the coronavirus vaccine which arrived in Ghana on Wednesday. Ghana received 600,000 first consignment of the Covid-19 vaccines to combat the devastating disease in the country. Since the vaccines arrived in Ghana, there has been mixed reaction as some believes the vaccines will alter their DNA, hence won’t take the vaccination. On his Facebook page, Prof Peter Twumasi has given more insight about the vaccines which reads, “Hello Guests, the vaccine is made from one of the proteins of…
[ads3] Ghana is among 92 countries that will receive a no-fault compensation claim of serious side effects for people who are vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine acquired from the COVAX facility. This follows an agreement by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that a no-fault-lump sum would be provided for serious COVAX vaccine side effects to reduce the need for resources to the law courts, a potentially lengthy and costly process.[ads2] Dr Kwame Amponsa -Achiano, Programme Manager for the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI), told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that Ghana was part of the COVAX facility…
[ads1] The Rebecca Foundation, headed by the first lady of Ghana Rebecca Akufo-Addo has commissioned a newly built Adetim D/A KG and Primary School in the Upper West Akim District of the Eastern Region after the project was abandoned for twenty- nine (29) years.

[ads3] The COVID-19 infection is currently so common within the society that, if care is not taken, every death would be classified as C19 because almost everyone, healthy or sick, has a trace of the novel Coronavirus now (termed C19-related). It is also true that almost all our heath workers, including doctors and nurses, have tested positive to C19. (The virus is present in our hospitals, wards or OPD). But the actual diseases killing people are known and must be tackled.[ads2] Testing positive to C19 does not mean it is one responsible for the death of a patient. It is…
[ads3] The NPP lost more than 30 parliamentary seats with the supervision of the same institution. They’ve accepted it with equanimity. I was in the Supreme Court in 2000 as a reporter when it ruled that people could vote with thumb-print ID cards. The NPP had gone to the SC (Supreme Court) with a challenge that only photo ID’s ought to be accepted. How anyone can tell at a polling station that that’s one’s thumb print….But SC justified it.[ads2] NDC supporters were jubilant. NPP supporters were on edge ready to hit the streets. Immediately after the ruling candidate Kufuor addressed…
[ads3] The Supreme Court of Ghana opened the 2020 election petition hearing in dramatic fashion. In anticipation of the show about to unfold, I wondered how Tsatsu Tsikata would handle the spotlight and whether the court would be able to dial down the theatrics. Like all viewers, I was impressed at how the lawyers overcame their fear to zealously advocate for their respective clients. I watched with intense interest the different techniques each lawyer employed during cross-examination: their voice projection and word stress, their body language, focus, control, and non-verbal communication. I was fixated on Mr. Tsikata’s non-verbal cues because…
[ads3] Almost 8 months on and he’s full of gratitude to the New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in Freedom) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo upon assuming office, instructed that the Persons with disabilities fund be used in a way that will empower our friends with disability by setting them up in sustainable and self sufficient ventures rather than hand outs and this has led to thousands of persons with disability across the country benefiting and gainfully engaged now. This is a story worth sharing and one worth reading. The story of Mr. Otu and the changes brought into his life as…
