    Move to the kitchens, bedrooms and toilets to campaign – Hawa Koomson charges NPP supporters

    Awutu Senya East Member of Parliament and Fisheries Minister, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has urged supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to intensify their campaign efforts ahead of the December 7, 2024, general elections.

    In a passionate appeal, she encouraged party members to leave no stone unturned in their bid to secure a massive victory for the NPP.

    Speaking to the media after filing her nomination to contest the upcoming parliamentary elections on Monday, September 9, 2024, Koomson called for a vigorous and comprehensive campaign that reaches every corner of the constituency.

    She emphasized the importance of engaging voters at every level, stating, “We are going to campaign from house to house, kitchen to kitchen, bedroom to bedroom, toilet to toilet, market to market, community to community and campaign.”

    Koomson expressed her gratitude to the NPP for endorsing her as their parliamentary candidate, remaining optimistic about the party’s prospects for victory. “I am hopeful I have met all the requirements. We are now going back to continue our campaign. Victory will surely be on our side, just like in the previous election,” she confidently stated.

    Admitting that the 2024 elections would be challenging, the MP underscored that victory was possible if NPP members remained dedicated and focused. She urged supporters to avoid distractions and focus on promoting the party’s policies and message to ensure widespread support.

    “We have policies and a message, and that is what we will sell to Ghanaians so they will vote for us,” Koomson added.

    In addressing concerns about her leadership style, the Fisheries Minister apologized to any party members she may have offended and refuted claims of arrogance and disrespect. She called on all supporters to forgive any past grievances, urging them to come together for a unified campaign effort.

  • You will die and decay in your rooms – Ghanaian woman curses ‘cash-hoarding’ politicians

    You will die and decay in your rooms – Ghanaian woman curses ‘cash-hoarding’ politicians

    Ghanaians are yet to get over the revelation that huge sums of money are lying in the residence of former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.

    Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour, are reported to have been robbed by two of their house helps in their home in Abelemkpe, Accra.

    Seven accused persons are standing trial for the theft case.

    They are Patience Botwe, 18, hairdresser; Sarah Agyei, 30, unemployed; Benjamin Sowah, 29, plumber; Malik Dauda, 34, unemployed; Christiana Achab, a trader; Job Pomary, a mechanic; and Yahaya Sumaila, an excavator operator. They are facing 14 counts of conspiracy, stealing, and dishonestly receiving.

    The case came to light in July and the matter is being investigated by the Police and the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

    Initial comments from some Ghanaians questioned why the former minister had kept such amount in her home. Authorities are currently investigating the source such money.

    However, some Ghanaians have already pronounced Madam Cecilia Dapaah guilty.

    Engaging the media, a middle-aged woman accused Ghanaian politicians of starching monies under their beds, preventing the ordinary Ghanaian from having funds to take up lucrative ventures that will grow the economy.

    “The monies under your beds and polythene bags, God will judge you. So now when you go to the banks, there are no funds,” she bemoaned.

    “Why, what have we done you,” she quizzed.

    New findings in Cecilia Dapaah’s theft case

    A recent report by JoyNews shed light on new documents indicating a comprehensive investigation conducted by the police in 2022.

    According to these documents, on October 4, 2022, Cecilia Dapaah issued a warning to a member of her domestic staff, cautioning them against accessing specific rooms within the residence during their employment.

    Despite this warning, on October 6, 2022, the staff member breached these instructions and was apprehended by Dapaah’s husband, Daniel Kuffuor.

    Subsequently, Kuffuor reported the incident to the Tesano Police Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit, initiating an official complaint.

    Upon Dapaah’s return on October 10, she conducted an inventory to identify the missing items from her room. The items included Kente cloth, women’s clothing, jewelry, and an undisclosed sum of money.

    Subsequently, the police gathered a statement from the young suspect and proceeded to file appropriate charges. Later, on October 26, 2022, the suspect was presented before the Circuit Court. However, due to inconsistencies in determining her age, she was released and subsequently re-apprehended, with fresh charges being pressed in the Juvenile Court.

    In spite of the initial charges being relatively minor, such as unlawful entry and entering premises for unlawful purposes, the suspect faced more serious accusations, including the theft of unspecified funds, as per the documented list of missing items.

    Curiously, the obtained documents did not make reference to the alleged theft of 1 million dollars, suits, and other sums in Ghana cedis.

    These allegations came to light in court filings against the same suspect and four accomplices in July 2023, all related to the original theft that took place in October 2022.
