General News of Tuesday, 3 May 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe name Asantehene evokes not only power and authority, especially among the Akan clan, but it also carries with it a lot of admiration and beauty. From the secrecy, or little that is known about such details such as the kind of food or daily routines that the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, takes, every little information on the revered King of the Asantes that makes its way to the public surely turns head. In a video that has been seen by GhanaWeb, and shared by Me Yɛ Asanteni on Facebook, it shows how the Asantehene steps out from his palace, the Manhyia Palace. In what appears like a presidential convoy, a number of police motorbike riders lead the drive out of the palace, followed closely by other vehicles. See it here:TWI NEWS

Nana Akomea said, “they (EIU) said if elections were held today, NDC would win but their chances of winning would be better without John Mahama. Pratt interjected “That’s not what the report said.”Nana Akomea then went on to repeat and explain what he said earlier. The argument dragged for more than ten minutes with Pratt disputing the viewpoints of Kwame Sefa Kayi and Nana Akomea.

We are taxing people for using an online platform and if in the course of paying their tithe, they are taxed for using a platform,” John Kumah said in a series of tweets.

According to him, the fact that the minority filed an application for an injunction against the implementation of the policy does not mean they have the order of the court. He has, therefore, insisted that the government has not breached any order of the court for kick-starting the E-Levy policy. “There is no court order so, we have not breached anything. The fact that you have filed a motion in court does not mean you have an order of the court,” citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said. But this has not been the case as some Ghanaians have been deducted E-Levy tax for transactions less than GH¢100.

He added that the government was currently faced with very tight fiscal and financing conditions, and revenue generation constraints, hence removing taxes on petroleum taxes will worsen the current conditions. “Government is also working hard to ensure reliable supply and availability of petroleum products, thereby preventing shortages, a phenomenon which is being experienced in some other neighbouring countries. We, therefore, continue to be vulnerable to the price volatilities of the world market for petroleum products,” he added.

According to him, the Godfred Dame’s claim that the house had a quorum for decision making is ridiculous. In a Facebook post, the MP said the minority aims to stand up against government as Article 3 of the 1992 Constitution demands, adding that should they fail in court, they will take to the streets. He wrote “the only antidote for bullies and despots is to stand up and confront them as Article 3 of the 1992 Constitution demands of us. According to him, a total number of 266 Members of Parliament were present during the second reading of the policy. Surely, this defence and government’s infamous Neutrality Allowance will keenly compete for Ghana’s Most Ridiculous Award of the Decade.”Below is his post
