Ghanaians Suffer Due to ‘Destructive’ Economic Policies – Dr. Ofosu Ampofo


The former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has criticized the government’s economic policies, attributing them to the hardships faced by Ghanaians. Speaking in Battor, North Tongu Constituency, during a campaign event for the NDC’s vice presidential candidate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Dr. Ofosu Ampofo described these policies as “weapons of mass destruction” that have left a lasting negative impact on the country’s economy and people.


He referenced a public statement made by Mr. Michael Agyekum Addo, the late CEO of KAMA Group, who expressed severe economic hardship due to current government policies. “Dr. Bawumia’s policies are like weapons of mass destruction,” Dr. Ofosu Ampofo remarked, accusing the Vice President of policies that have allegedly dismantled financial institutions and led to widespread job losses.


Dr. Ofosu Ampofo also criticized the government’s focus on digitalization, claiming it relies on infrastructure laid by the previous Mahama administration. He suggested that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who chairs the Economic Management Team, had shifted focus from economic issues to digitalization as a way to divert attention from economic challenges.


As the 2024 election approaches, Dr. Ofosu Ampofo underscored the importance of trustworthy leadership, calling Mr. John Dramani Mahama the candidate who can restore hope to Ghanaians. He urged North Tongu residents to support Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as their parliamentary representative and vote for Mr. Mahama to bring transformative leadership to the nation.

Chieftaincy Crisis: Ngleshie Alata Chiefs Reject Imposed Mantse

The Ngleshie Alata Traditional Council has strongly condemned the recent induction of Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye, also known as Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, as the Ngleshie Alata Mantse. Speaking on behalf of the council, Nii Ofei III, Divisional Chief of Kokrobitey, alleged that the induction was carried out unlawfully by the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs without the knowledge or involvement of the traditional council. According to Nii Ofei III, the process of installing a chief follows clear constitutional and customary guidelines, which were blatantly disregarded in this case. He accused the registrar of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and its president, Oboade Notse King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, of collaborating to impose Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye on the traditional council. “This induction was conducted in secrecy. We only became aware of it after a letter circulated about a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Regional House of Chief...

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...
