General News of Tuesday, 27 December 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comSex is a taboo topic in Ghanaian households, however, it has transcended cultural boundaries and dominated media conversations from social media to traditional media in the form of news and entertainment. Among the top 10 websites that Ghanaians visited the most in 2021, two were pornography websites. This statistic drives the argument that Ghanaians may not want to discuss sex, but there is interest in the topic. The latter often sexualize homosexuality on social media leaving the conversation to be about sex than personality. The conversations were not conclusive on whether it is acceptable to record sex acts in private or not.

Kwesi Pratt takes on NDC MPs over passage of VAT Amendment Bill
Pratt holds the view that if the minority caucus was determined to block the passage of the bill, they would have done all it takes to achieve that feat. Parliament on Thursday, December 22,2022 passed the Vat Amendment Bill which will see a 2.5% increment on the rate. The majority MPs, however, argued that the government needs the revenue to resuscitate the economy urging the NDC MPs to support the passage of the bill. The resistance of the NDC MPs was curtailed after the process, since they could only get 135 of their members against 136 of the majority. The VAT vote was the only one of eight items the minority caucus opposed in the 2023 Budget that it lost.
