Three Ghanaian citizens have petitioned the Canadian High Commission for copies of reports of any possible investigations carried by the Commission on the alleged robbery attack on Evelyn Aidoo aka Serwaa Broni.
The three–Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, Elikem Kotoko and Stephen Kwabena Attuh– stated in their petition that they have initiated impeachment actions against President Akufo-Addo who is said to have masterminded the robbery attack, and would need the Canadian Mission’s evidence to help the process.
“We are minded by your obligations as a Mission representing your country, Canada, as per International Law. We are therefore not inviting you to meddle in the internal security matters and politics of Ghana, but to strictly execute your mandate within the remits of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and Vienna Convention of Consular Relations of 1963.
“Ghana and Canada are both signatories to the two conventions and same have been domesticated by Ghana in the Ghana Diplomatic Immunities Act, 1962 (Act 148). In this Act, Ghana has accepted in whole, the provisions of the two International Conventions,” they stated.
Serwaa Broni is a Canada based lesbian who reveals she had had sexual relations with the president.
Some of the bonking session were recorded in video and also photographed, she reveals and fearing that these dirty files would be released, the president allegedly lured her to Ghana from Canada and used some National security operatives to rob her bags and phones at Dawhenya in Greater Accra, hoping to secure the dirty videos and photos from the bags.
According to Serwaa Broni who made the revelations through personal videos and later through an interview with US based Ghanaian journalist, Kevin Taylor, President Akufo-Addo admitted the offense when she confrointed him in his office and later sent an apology through text.
“In pursuance of our pending petition to the Parliament of Ghana, in which we, The Three Citizens of Ghana, Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, Elikem Kotoko and Stephen Kwabena Attuh, invoked the authority of the Parliament of Ghana, to initiate an impeachment proceeding against the President of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for breaching his oath of office, by using state power to violate the rights of a Canadian who doubles as a Ghanaian by birth, we wish to solicit for information from your High Commission and assistance to take further action(s).
“It is recalled that, on the 21st of April, 2022, we, the undersigned submitted a petition to the Parliament of Ghana to initiate impeachment proceeding against the President of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for allegedly using national security operatives to violate the rights of one Miss Evelyn Aidoo alias Serwaa Broni, a Canadian citizen. Miss Evelyn Aidoo alleged that one Hopeson Adorye, a former Deputy National Security Coordinator in charge of the Airport, was used by the President of Ghana, to stage an armed robbery attack on her, during which her rights to privacy and other related liberties were grossly violated. An allegation Mr. Hopeson Adorye flatly denied in a subsequent interview on Kofi TV, an online TV program (Follow link for full interview: https://fb.watch/cwOHGYRmoF/),” the petitioners wrote.
They added that, “Subsequent to this, Miss Evelyn Aidoo on 17th April, 2022, granted an interview to Loud Silence Media, which is owned and operated by one Kevin Ekow Baidoo Taylor an American-based Ghanaian Journalist ((Follow link for full interview: https://fb.watch/cwOsMTLqXz/). In that interview, Miss Evelyn Aidoo produced an audio recording purported to have been recorded at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters at the instance of the then head of CID, Maame Yaa Tiwa Addo-Danquah (Follow Link for specific recording between 1:25:15 and 1:34:23: https://fb.watch/cwPg30pWa2/). In that audio, a voice purported to be that of Hopeson Adorye was heard admitting that he indeed went for the keys to the hotel room of Miss Evelyn; an allegation he flatly denied earlier on Kofi TV as submitted above. This admission, if proven to be his voice, is in sharp contrast to his (Mr. Hopeson Adorye’s) earlier denial on same subject matter.
Drawing close inference from these incidents, we can conclude that, the said acts of armed robbery attack staged by Mr. Hopeson Adorye was a grand scheme executed by his National Security outfit, which the President of Ghana chairs. We can further draw inference from these attacks to be in response to Miss Evelyn’s threat to release videos and pictures of herself and President Akufo-Addo in compromised positions.”
British High Commissioner Has Eagle Eyes #FixTheCountry Convener’s Second Arrest
The British High Commissioner to Ghana, Here Excellency Harriet Thompson, has indicated she is keenly following developments around the latest arrest of the Convener of pressure group, #FixTheCountry.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the diplomat said she was looking forward to see how the arrest of Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor’s arrest over supposed traffic offence will lead to.
“Oliver Barker Vormawor, convener of #FixTheCountry movement arrested again, I understand for a motoring offence on his way to court. I’ll be interested to see where this goes,” she tweeted.
Mr. Barker-Vormawor had been arrested on Tuesday for allegedly driving dangerously while on his way to court for hearing on the treason felony charges slapped against him by the Akufo-Addo government.
The rest made news because it was the second time the activist had been arrested by the government.
The earlier arrest had resulted when Mr. Vormawor, a PhD student in the UKA had posted that he would stage a coup in Ghana if the Akufo-Addo government went ahead to approve the thievish e-levy tax.
Many have pointed out that the man had written the words within a literary rather than literal context. Besides, he had threatened the supposed coup on condition.
However, the Akufo-Addo government arrested him anyway.
Minority Asks Prez Akufo-Addo To Stop Declassification Of Achimota Forest As A Reserve
The Minority in Parliament has asked President Akufo-Addo to take a second look at his decision to declassify the Achimota Forest as a reserve.
In a statement signed by Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, the government’s decision was described as a dangerous and reckless one which will affect the carbon dioxide presence in the national capital.
“The President should as a matter of urgency take a second look at EI 144 and revoke it as soon as possible. worsen its abuse. Obviously this will negatively affect the carbon dioxide presence in the atmosphere in Ghana’s capital city.”
President Akufo-Addo on 1st May, 2022 reclassified parts of the Achimota Forest as no longer being part of Accra’s only forest belt.
When Ghanaians expressed shock at the decision, Lands Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor, released a statement claiming it is not the whole forest that has been declassified and that it is just a swathe that has been leased for 99 years to the original owners of the land, the Owoo family.
The minister also sought to drag former President Mahama and Kufuor into the decision by the Akufo-Addo government, saying the Owoo family had initially applied to the Kufuor government which had in principle granted them their request but that the grant was not completed.
The MAHAMA Government then came to continue from where the Kufuor government had begun but could also not complete the process and that the Akufo-Addo government continued from where the Mahama government left off.
But in the Minority’s statement, it said the claim by the Ministry is not exactly correct.
“In fact, the Minister in his attempt to seek solace in the calculated actions of the previous NDC government to preserve the forest as a carbon sink, asserts in parts that “On 5th September, 2013, the then President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, gave Executive Approval for the conversion of the Forest Reserve into an Ecotourism Park, and to release the peripheral portions of the Forest Reserve to the Owoo Family, in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee.”
““However, because the land remained a Forest Reserve, by virtue of Order 31 of 1930, the lessees and sub-lessees could not develop the land, although they had obtained all the necessary permits.”
“Does it not, therefore, go without saying that the leases and sub-lessees could not develop the land because their holders intended developments that were not eco-compatible, as intended by the previous government?
Is it not, therefore, fair to conclude that the purpose of EI 144 is to give the clearance for a free for all kind development of the Reserve now reclassified as part of the Okaikwei North municipality?” the statement asked
It pointed out that in paragraph 7 of his 17th May, 2022 the Lands Minister admits that what was granted the pre-acquisition owners of the land, the Owoo family by the Kufuor government in an agreement dated 28th November, 2008 was the peripheral portions of the Achimota forest reserve totaling 90 acres, for a term of 99 years.
“It was these peripheral portions of the Achimota Forest reserve land that was released in the year 2013 per executed leases to the Owoo family by the government of Ghana, without declassifying the reserve.
“This required the family to observe the forest reserve classification of the main land. Thus the Owoo family by law could only develop or sell the granted peripheral portions (90 acres) for only eco-compatible uses.
“It is therefore befuddling that the Nana/Bawumia government wants us to believe that the reclassified 361 acres of the Achimota Forest reserve land,” the statement said.
The Minority added that In deed the previous NDC government under HE President Mahama, signed an agreement with Aikan Capital Ltd to create, develop, operate and maintain a world-class ecological park as a top eco-tourist destination worldwide.
“This and the decision to maintain the whole of the forest as a Reserve was aimed at not only guaranteeing the integrity of the forest but also creating employment opportunities for Ghanaians as well as generating more income for the Forestry Commission.
“Therefore the latest dangerous, reckless and or possible self-seeking decision of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia Government cannot and should not be misconstrued as a continuation of the previous government’s policy.”
The Minority worried that the decision to return portions of the Achimota forest to the original owners for other purposes can also trigger pressure from other families from whom government acquired lands in the past to demand return of such lands.
Meanwhile, the released lands have been put up for sale to the general public by the family.
Ghanaians Among Christians ASbducted And Killed In Mali’s Gao Region
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has confirmed that some Ghanaians who were Christians have been abducted and killed by Islamist extremists in Mali.
In a statement released, 17th on May, the Ministry warned against traveling to the Gao Region in Northern Mali where the abductions and murders happened.
“In view of recent abductions and executions of travelers especially Christians (including Ghanaians) in the Gao Region of Northern Mali, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration advises against all travels to Gao and its surrounding areas in northeastern Mali.
The Ministry also advised Ghanaians who are already in the Gao region to flee immediately for their safety and security.
“Commercial transport operators and drivers who still ply the Gao route from Ghana are particularly advised, as a matter of urgency, to suspend all operations to that part of Mali.
“Ghanaians in the Gao region are also advised to leave immediately for their safety and security.”
It said, “those who choose to depart the Gao Region are advised to exercise the utmost caution as they move to a departure point, only when judged to be safe to do so.”
The Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Ministry said the Government of Ghana’s ability to facilitate the departure of Ghanaian nationals from the Gao Region was very limited.
However, it stated that those who required assistance to leave should contact the following numbers: 223 71762020, 223 20295768 nd 233 77807676.
Majority Leader Declare Bawumia NPP Flagbearer Again
Majority Leader and MP for Suame in Ashnati, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, has said that he has recommended someone to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to be considered as his Running mate in the 2024 elections.
And he reveals that the person is aware of the recommendation.
“In the Ashanti Region, I spoke to someone who I’ve also discussed with the Vice President to consider him as the Running mate for the 2024 election. It wasn’t me, the person knows himself. People say I qualify so I shouldn’t say that but I can’t spit on the ground and pick it back. I thank God people think I qualify,” he said.
This revelation by Kyei Mensah-Bonsu means he is continuing in the lawless behavior of imposing Bawumia as the NPP’s next presidential candidate even ahead of the party’s presidential primary.
The last time he made such a suggestion, former Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko warned him to stop being silly.
However, Kyei-Mensah Bonsu seems to find it difficult to repent from arrogating to himself, the powers of flagbearer-maker.
He has however admitted that whoever will become the running mate ought to be decided by the flagbearer who will be elected.
Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu indicated, however, that the position of the running mate is the preserve of the flagbearer and therefore behoves the flagbearer to make his/her choice.
