The Apostle General of the Royalhouse Chapel International, Reverend Sam Korankye Ankrah has advised his congregants to take the choice of clolours they will use in 2020 seriously in everything they do.
During the church’s 31st night service, the man of God revealed that in 2020 two colours – blue and red should prevail in everything his congregants do.
“For your major celebrations which are coming, weddings, wedding anniversaries, birthday, business anniversary celebrations, any celebration of any kind,” Rev. Ankrah instructed his church members to use these two colours, which coincidentally are also the colours of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“We are talking about all shades of blue and all shades of red,” he emphasized.
According to the preacher, for a favorable year and atmosphere, every member of the church was urged to make the colours (blue and red) the theme for everything in 2020.
Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah sup[ported his direction with biblical connotations. “When you look at the building of the tabernacle and the temple, just as God was interested in the number 20, God was also very particular about the colours of the temple. The colours of the temple and the colour for 2020 are blue and red,” the General Overseer stated.
He also added that, the secondary colour, purple, which a combination of the primary colours red and blue will be used by God as well.

Renowned Ghanaian legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw has opined that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo did not appoint him as special Prosecutor because of Ghana’s football striker Asamoah Gyan.
Speaking in an interview with Ghanaian Journalist Attractive Mustapha, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw stated that he was not having issues with Asamoah Gyan until the unfortunate disappearance of popular hiplife artiste Castro after which the media called him for his views on the incident and he stated that those who took Castro to the venue where he disappeared should be invited for questioning.
He further lamented that the media twisted his statement which created enmity between him and Asamoah Gyan.
According to him, he kept on explaining himself but Asamoah Gyan and his family were not happy with his statement.
He continued that after a few months one lady called Sarah Kwabla also alleged that he was raped by Asamoah Gyan and upon seeing the evidence he decided to back the lady in court.
He added that all these happenings made Asamoah Gyan hate him and knowing Asamoah Gyan to have sponsored Akufo- Addo’s campaign and the fact that he is very close to the president, he has a stake in Akufo-Addo’s government.
“As it stands I wasn’t considered for the special prosecutor position because of Asamoah Gyan, though I wasn’t expecting that position, my name came up because Ghanaians know I’m a no-nonsense man and I can best do the work because am neutral”, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw stated.
He concluded by saying all who Asamoah Gyan’s mates and close associates have been appointed which also confirms that he has a strong stake in Akufo Addo’s government.

John Agyekum Kufour, former President of the Republic of Ghana, has tasked the executives of the Ghana Journalists Association to ensure that members of the Association abide by the Right to Information Law.
The Right to Information Bill (RTI) was passed into law after 20 years of its inception.
The RTI Bill which was first drafted in 1999, was reviewed in 2003, 2005 and 2007. The bill was, however, presented to Parliament in 2010.
The bill was brought back to the Sixth Parliament but could not be passed till the expiration of that Parliament on January 6, 2016.
The implementation of the law would require the establishment of information units in all public offices, the recruitment and training of information officers to man those units. The implementation of the law will also require the establishment of the RTI Commission and the completion of various administrative protocols before the start of the next fiscal year.
The RTI law is to provide for the operationalization of the constitutional right to information held by the public and some private institutions, subject to exemptions that are necessary and consistent with the protection of public interest in a democratic society.
Speaking at the launch of the 70th anniversary of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast in Accra, John Agyekum Kufour asked the association to ensure that its members do not take any portion of the RTI for granted to endanger and subvert the law.
“You must always remember that the abuse of the immense power of the media led to the Rwandan genocide through which almost a million people perished in the east African country in 1994,” he added.
He urged the GJA to monitor its members to ensure that the rights of individuals and members are not unduly violated. Kufour also encouraged that GJA to reprimand members who flout these laws
Commenting on misreporting and fake news, the former President urged Journalists to cultivate the habit of apologizing for misreporting, adding that apologizing for errors is the mark of professionalism and  credibility.

The Organising Secretary of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, has assured the public that the issue of assaults on journalists is addressed properly.
Over the years, many journalists have been assaulted during their line of duty by some security personnel and politicians who believed they had power and could take the law into their own hands.
Despite the many attacks on journalists, most of the perpetrators had gone free and unpunished, except with some few instances where justice was served in favour of the journalists.
The recent assault on journalists was the attack on the Ghanaian Times Journalists by some police officers, who were eventually interdicted .
However, speaking at the launch of the 70th Anniversary of the GJA, Mr Dwumfour, who is also the Managing Director of Atinka Media Village said that in the coming years, the GJA will deepen democracy and press freedom in the country, while it ensures that journalists are secured in their line of duty.
“Over the years, we have heard and seen attacks on journalists; but in the coming years, we will not see that again. Going beyond 70 years, there are a lot of things to be done by the GJA, and we believe that the years ahead will be more fruitful,” he said.
The Theme for the launch of the 70th Anniversary was; “Democracy, freedom and independence of the media in Ghana: 70 years of GJA’s contribution”.
Meanwhile, Mr Dwumfour also acknowledged Former President John Agyekum Kufour, who was also present at the event for providing an enabling environment for the media to operate. This, he said paved the way for the establishment of private media in the country.

Former President of the Republic of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufour, has lauded the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) for acquitting itself creditably well throughout its 70 years of  existence.
According to the Gentle Giant, the GJA has contributed positively to the development of the country over the past years.
Former President John Agyekum Kufour made the statement while addressing members of   the press as main speaker at the Launch of the 70th anniversary of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra.
He added that the GJA has in the process produced seasoned journalists in the country whose works are acknowledged worldwide.
The Anniversary, which was held on the theme: “Democracy, Freedom and Independence of the Media in Ghana: 70 years of GJA’s contribution was well attended by high profile journalists in Ghana  and other dignitaries .
He acknowledged that the media landscape has had direct impact on the affairs of government and for that matter cannot be left to go astray.
” Today as a nation, we should all celebrate that we live under democracy…just last week the President of the Republic signed the Right to Information into law, henceforth the Ghanaian Journalists has another tool to work effectively to bring light on public activities that enhance transparency and accountability in Ghana,” he said.
He charged the GJA and its members to acknowledge that such a mechanism has never existed and ride on that motive to justify the RTI with an equally enhanced sense of responsibility to the rule of law and the sovereign people of Ghana.

The Bortianor-Ngleshie-Amanfrom constituency in the Greater Accra region is firmly rooting for businessman, Elvis Asiedu Antwi to salvage them from their political woes.
Mr Asiedu Antwi, the right hand man for Sempe Mantse, Nii Adote Otintor the second, has begun garnering support towards his bid to represent the ruling New Patriotic Party in the 2020 polls.
Popularly known as General, Asiedu Antwi who is considered a best choice for the people of the Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency is already making inroads following his daily endorsements from constituents.
Majority of polling station executives and ordinary constituents who are rooting for his coming have touted his human relation credentials and business links as a trump card to turn around the fortunes of the constituency.
The many constituents, who are hoping to see Asiedu Antwi become their MP, told Class news’ Ekow Annan that they believe in his judgements.
According to them, they have lived with him in the constituency for years and have seen how he has acquainted himself with the ordinary people in the constituency which they believe makes him a better choice to others.
“He is one of us with a solid educational background and thus understands our problems very well,’’ they said.
The seat is currently being occupied by the NPP’s Alhaji Habib Saad who polled 26,034 votes to beat then incumbent MP, Bright Edward Kodzo Demordzi during the 2016 elections.
But judging from the abysmal performance of Alhaji Saad, several constituents fear the seat will go back to the NDC in the 2020 elections if a better candidate is not presented to lead the NPP.
This, the youth in the area believe can be achieved with Elvis Asiedu Antwi as the political head of their constituency. According to them, they see a selfless leader who is committed in spearheading the unprecedented developmental agenda of the area to the highest level.
They believe that Asiedu Antwi is someone who can on the national front, play a vital role in Parliament by vigorously contributing to debates on the floor of the house and at the committee levels respectively so as to uplift high the image of the constituency within the Ghanaian political circles and beyond.
They mentioned education, sanitation, youth organization, women issues, sports development amongst others as some of the areas the constituency is lagging behind over the years under various MPs.
The youth who have promised to volunteer for the Asiedu 2020 campaign have appealed to party delegates to vote for Elvis Asiedu Antwi aka General, who is proactive and capable of leading the constituency to another level.
‘’We now need vocal people in parliament as our representatives devoid of partisan politics and that is Asiedu Antwi,” they told Class News’ Ekow Annan.

Chiefs and people of Menji in the Tain District of the Bono Region have enstooled the Vice President of the Republic, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as Nkabomhene (Unity Chief) in recognition of his enduring crusade for unity and peaceful co-existence of persons with different religious persuasions.
 
The leadership of the Muslim community have also conferred a special award on him for his ongoing efforts to champion the cause of the poor and underprivileged.
 
The honours were conferred on Vice President Bawumia at Menji near Nsawkaw on Monday, 27th May 2019 at a mini durbar organised by the chiefs in conjunction with the Muslim community after the Vice President joined Muslim faithful to perform the Zuhr prayers at Menji, as part of his annual Ramadan tour.
 
Speaking on behalf of the chiefs, the Gyaasehene of Menji, Alhaji Amadu Bamba, said Vice President Bawumia’s quest to ensure peace and unity between persons of different religious beliefs, which is reflected in his annual Ramadan Tour, is a sign of his peaceful nature.

The revolution that has occurred in the annual pilgrimage to Mecca since Alhaji Dr Bawumia became Vice President is also remarkable, Alhaji Bamba indicated, adding “although I have been to Mecca before, I want to prepare and go again because of the good things I’m hearing. Those who have gone since you came into office say that unlike the past, now they don’t hustle to get food but are now fed very well.
 
“In appreciation of his quest for peace, unity and national cohesion, and the great work he is doing for the nation as Vice President, the chiefs of Menji and Tain are enstooling him, with the stool name of Nkabomhene” Alhaji Bamba declared.
 
The Muslim Ummah also presented a special award to the Vice President for his tremendous contribution to the development of the Muslim community in Tain and the nation at large. A citation accompanying the award read in part:
 
“An Inspiration to the Musilm Ummah – Until your Excellency emerged onto the Ghanaian political landscape to the coveted position of the Vice President, the hope of the Muslim Ummah had dimmed and was being toyed with in a game of political ping-pong
 
“…The Zongos and the downtrodden shall forever be identify with your Excellency and the NPP for giving ample meaning to social intervention such as the Free SHS, as your commitment to the imperatives of the nation’s constitution far departing from any political gimmick.

“The people of Menji in the Bono Region and indeed all the Muslim Ummah pray fervently for your Excellency and your government success in the commitment to uplift our deprived communities to a shared and equitable national development.”
 
Vice President Bawumia expressed his appreciation to the chiefs and people, and pledged to work even harder to help fulfil President Akufo-Addo’s vision for the nation.
