NDC’s ‘World Bank’ has now become a susu box - Information minister
Politics of Saturday, 3 August 2024Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, has stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) can no longer call the Northern Region their 'World Bank' in elections. According to her, the era when the NDC dominated the Northern Region is over, as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has now made significant inroads, turning the region into a 'susu box' for the NDC. But in a bigger picture, they both come from what we used to call the Northern Region. She also said that this move could be a key reason for the changing political dynamics in the Northern Region. In fact, in the last election, in the North East Region, the NPP beat the NDC in the presidential ballots.

Legal vacation would not be cancelled - Chief Justice Torkornoo
General News of Friday, 2 August 2024Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, has rejected calls for the cancellation of the legal vacation provided under the procedure rules of Superior Courts. The Chief Justice further explained that physiological considerations underpin the provisions providing for legal vacation in the procedure rules. She likened the legal vacation to the vacation of school, which is very important because students need to rest their bodies and minds and re-invigorate for more work. The assurance by the Chief Justice comes following calls by some notable Ghanaians, including Justice Enyonam Adinyira, a High Court judge, for the vacation to be scrapped in the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court rules. The Chief Justice, however, has powers under the rules to designate a court to sit despite the provisions requiring the observation of vacations.

I am using a 2012 Toyota Sequoia and the kidnapper is using a 2019 Range Rover?

Keep same praises for the judiciary if the Supreme Court reverses ruling by Court of Appeal - Nana B to NDC
“Suddenly, John Mahama and the NDC are singing the praises of the judiciary they have bastardised and maligned for several years. Suddenly, the court is no longer an appendage of government. “The double standards of the NDC are regrettable and does not bode well for our democracy. While the AG disagree with the decision of the Court, we accept it in good faith and hope Mr. Mahama and the NDC do not change their chorus should the decision of the Court of Appeal be reversed by the Supreme Court,” he wrote. The Court of Appeal on Tuesday, July 30, acquitted and discharged the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and businessman Richard Jakpa, a third accused in the ambulance procurement trial in a split 2-1 decision.
