He stated that during the 2020 elections the New Patriotic Party (NPP) drummed into the heads of Ghanaian voters that the John Mahama administration was corrupt and yet data comparison between the two governments show the NDC has done better at fighting corruption than the NPP. According to him, the extrapolation of figures of the Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International from 2013 to 2016 and from 2017 to 2020 indicates the NDC has managed corruption better than the NPP. Speaking on TV3's Saturday morning analytical talk show, the Key Points , on the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy), Dr. A

The Visionary Dr Kwame Nkrumah

In spite of strained relationships with the British, Nkrumah had been able to get Queen Elizabeth II to visit Ghana in 1961. As late as 1964, Lord Mountbatten, a hero of the First and Second World Wars and then Britain's chief of defense staff, visited Ghana, which was an indication of how important British military training remained to the erstwhile colony. Ghana also remained a member of the Commonwealth, but in 1965, when the white Rhodesians unilaterally declared themselves independent from Great Britain, this link to the West also began to weaken. Ghana took a leading role in criticizing Britain for not preventing this seizure of power by the white minority. Nkrumah called for military intervention, and with the example of the Congo in 1960 still fresh, he hoped that Ghanaian forces would play a prominent role. Eventually, under pressure from other OAU members, Ghana was forced to break diplomatic relations with Great Britain. However, even after the latter's diplomats lef

HON ALBAN KINGSFORD SUMANA BAGBIN WRITES

Copied. I daresay that any attempt by any politician, hiding behind the police institution, to act as the standard bearer of ethical and professional journalism, or the regulator of journalism practice, is not only a pretender but also megalomaniac. The police cannot assume responsibility for responsible media practice in Ghana by scanning newspapers and news portals and arresting journalists for errors and misrepresentations. Those who are so offended by such write-ups know what recourse they have. I am not for a moment holding brief for irresponsible and unprofessional conduct of journalists. I am simply saying that there is a cure for that in our current legal regime. The increasing tendency on the part of the police to arrest journalists for what they describe as mistakes is old school, anachronistic and is sending this country back into the dark ages of media persecution. As Mr. Booker T. Washington said "don't find fault. Find a remedy." -- Except of speech from
