UK supports 2016 elections with £4m for the last time

file photoThe United Kingdom has given Ghana £4 million as part of efforts to entrench democracy particularly the running of elections in the West African country.

The support comes on the back of several others including a £6-million support in 2012 for that year’s elections.

Speaking at a short ceremony to announce the support, UK’s Minister of State for International Development Desmond Swayne said the priority of the support is to strengthen state institutions.

“Our main effort is going to be firstly strengthening the state institution,” he said on Wednesday, April 6, “the Electoral Commission, the police and the judiciary.”

Mr Swayne argued that it will not be out of place “to build up a contingency fund, a rapid reaction facility so that we can deal with problems as they arise and problems as they arise”.

The UK invested a total of £300 million between 2011 and 2016 and has been particularly pivotal in supporting the past six elections in Ghana.

The latest support is expected to span five years and Mr Swayne predicts that may be the last from the Kingdom.

“Because of the fact that you are becoming a middle income country, I anticipate that this will be the last such investment that we will make in democratic structures of this sort.”

Present at the ceremony were the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte Osei, Inspector General of Police John Kudalor, UK High Commissioner jon Benjamin and Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland, Victor Smith.

EC demands parties’ expenditure on by-elections

file photoThe Electoral Commission has requested all political parties that participated in the last three by-elections in the country to submit to it, their respective detailed expenditure on the elections.

 

Quoting Section 14(2) of the Political Parties Law, the Commission said every party that contest a by-election, is required to submit a detailed report on the how much it spent on the by-election six months after.

Consequently, the Commission has asked all the parties that took part in the Talensi, Amenfi West and Abuakwa North by-elections to comply with the law by submitting their expenditure to the Commission.

Although its nine months since the Talensi by-election, it is not clear whether the political parties have complied with the law. The Commission in its statement issued Tuesday failed to state whether that has been fulfilled.

The statement which was issued and signed by Deputy Chairman of Operations of the EC, AmaduSulley,also asked all registered political parties to submit their audited accounts for the year.

Again, the Commission per section 15(1) of the law wants all political parties that have been issued with a final certificate of registration within the last 90 days to furnish it with details of its existence and location of its officers at the national, regional, district and constituency levels

“All registered political parties should ensure that the requested information is received by the Commission by the close of work on May 31, 2016, failing which sanctions will be applied in accordance with the law,” the statement warned.

Ghana will collapse if Mahama wins – Kufuor

file photoFormer President John Agyekum Kufuor has said Ghana will totally collapse if President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress win this year’s elections.

According to the former president, since the beginning of multi-party democracy in1992, the NDC has had the lion’s share as far as governance is concerned, but anytime they are given the mandate, life in the country becomes unbearable.

“When we got the chance, there was real development, not the kids’ movies NDC is showing to people now,” he said.

“We are not blowing our own trumpet,” he said, adding that unlike NPP era when Ghanaians living abroad had the desire to come home and work, “this time it’s different; they don’t want to come home.”

Mr. Kufour, who was speaking at his residence in Accra on Wednesday, April 6, when the newly elected Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North paid a courtesy call on him, said there was dishonesty shown by President Mahama and his NDC as far as projects in the Volta Region are concerned.

He accused the NDC of squandering money meant for the development of the Volta Region particularly in their handling of the Keta Sea Defense Project.

“They claim we did nothing in the Volta Region. Let’s start from Keta. The money they acquired for the sea defense wall, they squandered it. It was during my tenure that we constructed the wall.”

He also drew attention to the fact his government constructed the Ho Polytechnic and roads from Nkonya through to Dambai.

“Ho Polytechnic was virtually built by us. Even the University of Ghana envies this school. Go to Nkonya through to Dambai. We constructed all those roads in the first term of the NPP.”

The former President also bemoaned the fact Ghana has returned to the IMF due to the government’s mismanagement of the economy.

“In three years, we were able to take Ghana from the IMF. Now we are back here again…During my tenure, Ghanaians abroad always wanted to come back home but this is no longer the case.”

The Former President reiterated his support for Nana Akufo-Addo, and called on Ghanaians to rescue the country by voting for the NPP’s Presidential Candidate.

Gruesome! Granny murders three-week-old baby

file photoA three-week-old baby has been murdered and buried in a shallow pit in Cape Coast, allegedly by her grandmother.

Grace Amoah, 38, was said to have picked a quarrel with her 17-year-old daughter, Joyce Amoah, when she discovered the teenager was pregnant.

Madam Amoah’s anger is said to have stemmed from the fact that Joyce was still in Junior High School form two when she got pregnant, TV3 sources, Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson and Kakra Abrowa report.

According to Joyce, when she was delivered of the baby,  Madam Amoah who was also nursing a baby at the time, requested that her grandchild be given to her to breastfeed to enable Joyce continue her education.

However, before a decision could be reached, Joyce said that when she woke up Tuesday, she could not trace the whereabouts of her baby, prompting her to confront her mother.

Madam Amoah could not give any tangible explanation; something that raised suspicion and compelled Joyce to report the matter to the Police who have since arrested Madam Amoah.

After interrogation, Madam Amoah led the Police to the outskirt of Akotokyer, a suburb of Cape Coast where the baby was buried. The body has since been exhumed and deposited at the Cape Coast Hospital for autopsy.

The case is currently under investigation.

Be bold and call Zanetor to order – Rawlings told

file photoFormer president Rawlings has been challenged to rein in his daughter Dr. Zanetor Rawlings who has been accused of making the NDC unpopular in the Klottey Korle constituency.

Dr. Zanetor won the constituency parliamentary primary but was hit with lawsuit filed by incumbent MP Nii Armah Ashietey over the former’s eligibility to contest the seat.

Some aggrieved foot soldiers from the constituency therefore want Mr. Rawlings’ intervention to save the constituency from losing the seat in the November elections.

They spoke to the media after a High Court postponed a scheduled hearing pending a ruling by the Supreme Court where Zanetor is praying it to overturn a high court’s decision which dismissed her application to have the case against her struck out.

The Electoral Commission has confirmed to the court that Zanetor Rawlings is not a registered voter according to their records: an aspiring MP is required to be a voter.

“Rawlings has been calling so many people corrupt. He even called President Kufuor Atta Ayie why? Because he said Kufuor is a corrupt person. And now the thing is at your own door steps in your own house but he cannot come out to tell his daughter that she is not qualified to run for parliament. Why? Rawlings is not Rawlings If we don’t follow him, So we are telling Rawlings to come out and tell the truth that look my daughter is not qualified instead of sitting down and allowing your daughter to mess up the NDC,” said one fuming foot soldier.

“Let me tell you, Rawlings and his wife and his daughter want to collapse NDC. They have an agenda because he has been calling John Mahama and Atta Mills names.”

Nii supporters

He said, “Even John Mahama must too must come into this thing because he is going to lose in Klottey Korle because we the youth are not going to vote for just anybody. I am not a fool to vote for someone who has never voted before”.

Another foot soldier who identified himself as Basty said, “I also blame the national executive of NDC for qualifying this girl to run for election when they know that she has never voted before. Now they have divided the party into two.”

He added, “if you don’t have voters ID card and you have never voted for somebody before, how do you expect somebody to vote for you? That is why we say the national executives have failed”.

Gender-based violence conviction rate ‘unacceptable’ – Victoria Natsu

oo v

file photoThe Acting Executive Secretary of Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking Secretariat has described as ‘unacceptable’ the 4.4 per cent conviction rate for Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Ghana.

Victoria Natsu says the rate is low for a country that has ratified various international human rights instruments.

Ms Natsu, who wants the judicial system to be more responsive for victims to seek justice without delays, was speaking at a high profiled dialogue with the judiciary on ‘Improving Justice for Victims of Sexual and Gender-based Violence’ in Ghana.

The dialogue, organized by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection in collaboration with the Danish Development Assistance (DANIDA), was to strengthen efforts to secure justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence.

Records available at the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) indicate that, a total of 15,749 SGBV cases were recorded in 2015 alone. Out of this figure, 4500 cases were assault on women, 316 were rape cases, and defilement accounted for 1,180.

Over the past five years from 2011 to 2015, the total number of SGBV cases that were recorded nationwide was 85,590. Out of this figure, 24,174 were assault of women, 1633 were rape cases, and defilement accounted for 5,982

The 2015 DOVVSU statistics further show that, out of the 1,291 sexual and gender-based violence cases sent to court, only 139 of those cases were convicted; with 10,945 of the reported cases for 2015 still under investigation.

In 2014 too, only 160 out of the 1,547 SGBV cases sent to court were convicted.

Ms Victoria Natsu expressed worry at the high rate of gender-based violence and its low conviction rate.

“Despite the various constitutional provisions and laudable effort by government, many sexual and gender-based violence cases are not convicted for which conviction rates continue to remain low in Ghana and this is not acceptable.”

She called on the judiciary to speed up on pending cases on sexual and gender-based violence.

But the director of Judicial Training Institute and a court of appeal judge, Justice Dennis Adjei, said prosecution and conviction are based on evidence.

He said the fact that a report has been lodged does not necessarily mean that the incident occurred, hence the need for the court to receive evidence before conviction.

“Conviction is not based on morality but rather conviction is based on the evidence adduced on record and if you convict, you must act within the tenet of the law.”

He urged the police to do thorough investigation when dealing with domestic violence cases to be able to prove the ingredients of the offence before arraigning the accused before the court.

“Most accused persons would continue to be acquitted if the prosecution is unable to submit sufficient evidence because the court acts within the context of the law.”

Justice Adjei assured that, the court will continue to serve justice to everybody, irrespective of his or her status in society.

The dialogue brought together judges of the various family tribunals, circuit and gender-based violence courts, high court and court of Appeal in all the ten regions.

Participants deliberated on issues that would strengthen efforts to secure justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence.

I would have sacked this Adakabre boy if… Citi FM boss

file photoChief Executive Officer of Accra-based Citi FM, Samuel Atta Mensah has encouraged management of Neat FM to dismiss its presenter Adakabre Frimpong Manso for his apparent bias posture.

Expressing his indignation on TV3’s New Day Wednesday, he said he would have fired the radio host the very day he sought to defend his hard stance against the leader of the opposition New Patriotic Party.

The NPP on Sunday said it had boycotted two radio stations – Okay FM and Neat FM – owed by the Despite Group of Companies for being bias against the party.

They specifically cited Adakabre and host of Okay FM morning show.

In what appeared to be a seeming defence, Adakabre told Joy FM that the NPP presidential candidate, “Nana Addo abused and threatened me, I was so sad and scared but I kept quiet…”

But Mr. Atta Mensah felt what he did “was the lowest any presenter will go to”.

It is for this reason that he suggested that Adakabre does not deserve to keep his position.

“That is kind of to justify the posture he had taken against a particular political party. If I were running that station, that would have been his last day.

“If I were running that station, he knows, I would have dismissed him immediately…all politicians, regardless of their political affiliation, should condemn this Adakabre boy,” Atta Mensah strongly advocated.

He explained that a radio host is supposed to exercise a high level of neutrality and not to use the media to cause disaffection for a political party because of a personal issue.

The Citi FM boss challenged Adakabre Frimpong Manso to set up his own radio station to perpetuate his hatred against Nana Akufo-Addo and persons he has personal issues with.

Having worked as a radio host for over 20 years, Adakabre should have known better that he cannot use the station to settle personal scores, he stated.

Meanwhile, Adakabre Frimpong Manso has unreservedly apologised to Nana Akufo-Addo. In his audio apology in which he promised follow with a signed letter, the radio host explained that his intention was not to portray Nana Akufo-Addo as a bad person in his interview on Joy FM.

Do you STRUGGLE to get orgasm? This is why

Do you STRUGGLE to get orgasm? This is why

file photoThere is a common misconception that the ability to orgasm is within a person’s control – dependent upon their confidence, sexual openness or ability to trust.

Furthermore, many people also suggest that it is the size of a penis or the sexual prowess of a partner that determines whether climax will be reached during intercourse. And so, people who struggle to orgasm often feel as if it is their own fault.

But, scientists have discovered that the male ability to orgasm depends on signals between the penis, brain and spinal cord – and that disruptions to those signals can affect erection and ejaculation – and that the female orgasm is largely dependent upon the migration of the clitoris during sex, as well as the angle of penile entry

For men, the signals between their brain, spinal cord and penis must be functioning properly.

And for women, the migration of their clitoris during sex dictates whether they can orgasm.

Study author Dr Jason Siegel, of Mayo Clinic, told Daily Mail Online: ‘This gives us a more scientific and anatomical basis for why people aren’t achieving orgasm than just the societal feelings of penis size or G-spot placement.’

A team of scientists from Mayo Clinic and the Indiana University School of Medicine analyzed previous studies about sexual- and neuro-anatomy to see if inherited factors play a role in orgasm.

Dr Siegel said: ‘When it comes to male anatomy, people really focus on penis size, but that seems to be more anecdotal.’

Instead, the scientists found that a man’s ability to orgasm is largely reliant upon his nervous system.

There must be a proper balance between the parasympathetic nervous system – which controls the body at rest – and the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response.

In other words, the performance of a man’s penis rests on a reflex loop, Dr Siegel explained.

At the top of the loop, sensory information is processed either in the spinal cord or brain, and then received by the penis.

And then, at the other end of the loop, the spinal cord or brain tells the penis what to do next.

The scientists found that the reflex loops stem from two branches.

On the one hand is the psychological branch – which is what happens when a male views pornography or is visually stimulated.

And the second branch is more physical – the direct stimulation of the penis.

Dr Siegel said: ‘Of the two that fail most, it’s usually the psychological type.’

Spinal cord injuries can affect the reflex loop – preventing men from receiving the signals that would allow them to otherwise achieve orgasm.

Similarly, psychological problems in the brain – such as neurochemical variations from depression – make it more difficult for that reflex to occur as well.

For men suffering from problems with erections, they should see a doctor to determine whether they are suffering from psychological or physical roadblocks, the scientists suggested.

The study, published in the journal Clinical Anatomy, also found that for women, the experience of orgasm is ‘far more complicated.’

Previous studies tried looking under a microscope in the vaginal wall to see if there’s a uniform position of nerve bundles, but the findings were largely ‘inconsistent.’

Dr Siegel said: ‘What’s more consistent is that the clitoris during sex tends to migrate up toward the vaginal wall.’

The closer the clitoris gets to the vaginal walls during sex, the more likely a woman is to achieve orgasmic success.

The researchers noted that MRIs of couples having sex, taken during a European study, found that different sexual positions can stimulate the vaginal walls in different ways.

For instance, male rear entrance – more commonly known as ‘doggy style’ – was not found to stimulate the vaginal wall as much as front entrance – from positions such as ‘missionary’ or ‘cowgirl’.

And, the most ideal angle of penis entry for vaginal wall stimulation was found to be 30 to 45 degrees.

‘If a woman is trying to achieve a vaginal orgasm, it seems like it tends to be more successful if the front wall of the vagina is more stimulated,’ Dr Siegel said.

The study didn’t delve into potential therapies for these anatomical differences – but instead sought to shed light on different components that can affect a patient’s ability to orgasm.

‘It gives us a more accurate picture of why people aren’t enjoying sexual intercourse in a way that we want,’ Dr Siegel said.

‘If we start identifying different reasons people aren’t achieving orgasms, that can give patients a little more hope that if they bring it up to their doctor, they can be diagnosed and helped.’

GFA charge Hearts for ref abuse

file photoThe Ghana Football Association has moved to punish Accra Hearts of Oak for the conduct of their fans during the 1-3 defeat at home to Wa All Stars last Sunday.

The win by All Stars ended Hearts of Oak’s unbeaten start to the season but Hearts fans felt that All Stars had scored their opening goal from an offside position and protested strongly during and after the game.

The charge sheet said: “On or about the 20th minute of the match, when the first goal was scored against them, Hearts supporters threw water bottles and other objects at assistant Referee 2, Freeman Anwulo and onto the field of play.

That this behaviour of your supporters resulted in a hold up of play for about six (6) minutes in violation of the GFA Regulations.

The second charge, when the match officials were walking to the dressing room at half time, the club’s supporters threw water bottles and other objects at the match officials.
Also during the second half of play, anytime a decision goes against your club, your supporters threw water bottles and other objects at the two assistant referees and onto the field of play in violation of the GFA Regulations.

Charge three, immediately after the final whistle of the match, the supporters threw water bottles, stones and other objects at match officials and the security men escorting them into the dressing room.
They held the match officials hostage for over 35 minutes until the police rescued the match officials in police vehicle to the Police Station in violation of the GFA Regulations.”

The Phobians could cop a home ban and fine for the attitude of the fans that was condemed by coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi after the game.

Kenya’s William Ruto’s case dismissed by ICC

Kenya’s William Ruto’s case dismissed by ICC

William Ruto denies charges of crimes against humanityThe International Criminal Court has thrown out the case against Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto.

The court ruled there was insufficient evidence, but it refused to acquit him.

In a split ruling, one judge declared it a mistrial because of a “troubling incidence of witness interference and intolerable political meddling”.

Mr Ruto denied murder, deportation and persecution charges during violence that followed the 2007 elections in which about 1,200 people were killed.

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta welcomed the ruling, saying the trial had been a “nightmare” for the nation.

Mr Ruto is one of the most senior politicians to be tried by the ICC.

In 2014, the prosecutor dropped similar charges against Mr Kenyatta, alleging that witnesses had been intimidated to make them change their testimony.

The case against Mr Ruto’s co-accused, journalist Joshua arap Sang, was also dismissed.

Mr Ruto and Mr Kenyatta were on opposite sides of the 2007 election, but formed an alliance that won the 2013 election.

Mr Ruto’s supporters burst into celebrations after the verdict was announced, reports the BBC’s Wanyama wa Chebusiri from his home town of Eldoret in western Kenya.

The prosecution case Mr Ruto was dogged by repeated setbacks.

In February judges at the ICC barred the use of recanted testimony, meaning that prior recorded witness statements could not be used by prosecutors.

Several key witnesses in the case have changed their statements, which prosecutors said was due to intimidation and bribery.

Mr Ruto’s lawyers said he should be acquitted because so many key prosecution witnesses either dropped or changed their original statements.

ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda acknowledged that the loss of witnesses weakened the case against the deputy president – but she argued there still remained enough evidence to proceed with the trial.

Decide between YEA or nothing for you – Employment Minister to unemployed graduates

file photoMinister of Employment and Labour Relations Haruna Iddrisu has told unemployed graduates of the School of Hygiene to decide between being placed under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) and remaining unemployed.

This followed the rejection of his offer by the graduates to have about 1,470 of them enrolled onto the YEA.

According to the graduates, government has failed in meeting its promise of getting them their appointment letters as part of negotiation terms after they demonstrated over their unemployment last year.

The students led by Spokesperson Prince Dramado on Monday, April 4 marched to the Employment Ministry to register their anger at the delay in government fulfilling its promise.

Mr Iddrisu in meeting the graduates admitted, however, that “government has reneged in issuing the clearance letters from the ministries of Finance and Local Government but that notwithstanding I made a pledge to them and I still stand by that pledge”.

After the graduates rejected the offer by asking for all rather than some to be enrolled onto the Agency, Mr Iddrisu, who is also Member of Parliament for Tamale South Constituency, said: “You have to decide between doing something and doing nothing with your own productive skills that you have acquired.”

He assured them that they will be given salaries and allowances just like in regular employment.
