A former Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Kwagye Ofosu, says Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is engaging in pedestrian propaganda and not being on top of issues. Speaking with the host of 3FM’s morning show, Sunrise, Winston Amoah, Mr Kwakye Ofosu stated:  “The Vice President is engaging in pedestrian propaganda” and that should not be encouraged by the media, he urged. The deputy minister in the Mahama-led administration expressed disappointment in Dr Bawumia, saying: “The Vice President offers comic responses to the complaints [on the Cedi depreciation] that have been made”.

The story is told of a man who was involved in a ghastly accident and rushed to the hospital. His family was by his bedside when he regained consciousness. They…

Former President John Dramani Mahama was the preacher on Sunday during the 2018 Men’s Ministry Day at the Ringway Assemblies of God Church. He preached on the topic ‘Favour’ and stated that he was “favoured” to be chosen to give the sermon.

Former Minister of State in charge of Public Private Partnership Abdul Rashid Pelpuo has chided the government for making “unnecessary” promises including the siting of a factory in each of the 254 districts of the country. “It is not possible to have it in this country,” he minced no words. The ambitious promise by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to get factories scattered across the country is considered one reason it was voted into power in 2016. But almost two years since assuming the reins of government, a factory is yet to be commissioned as most of these industrial structures…

The co-founders of photo-sharing giant Instagram, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, are both leaving the firm. Mr Systrom, chief executive, said they were departing to “explore our curiosity and creativity again”. Instagram was purchased by Facebook in 2012 for $1bn (£760m) in cash and stock and has more than one billion users. There had been reports of tension between the pair and Facebook, and the departures add to what has been a troubling year for the parent company. Mr Systrom, 34, and Mr Krieger, 32, started the image sharing site in 2010, and continued to run the service after it…
