Mahama messed up my policies – Akufo-Addo

Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo- Addo, has taken a swipe at President John Mahama over the poor implementation of ideas he (Mahama) stole from him.

According to him, anytime Mahama makes a mockery of an idea he (Nana) moots as a policy, he (Mahama) turns around to steal it.

That does not seem a problem for Nana Akufo- Addo but rather the fact that Mahama ends up poorly implementing the programmes.

In an interview on Starr FM’s drive time show - ‘Starr Chat’ – with Kwabena Anokye Adisi famously known as Bola Ray, the NPP flagbearer was particularly worried about the poor implementation of the controversial and corrupt-ridden Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) programme which has almost become moribund, describing it as ‘the biggest tragedy.’

The Electoral Commission has indicated that it had already been preparing to delete the names of ineligible persons from the voters’ register even before a Supreme Court ruling ordering it to do so.

She told Joy News, the EC will start cleaning the register in June when the roll for the polls is opened up for exhibition.All eyes are on the Electoral Commission following the Supreme Court verdict Thursday, directing the removal of deceased voters and those who used the NHIS card to register.

Pastors' Kids Are Immoral Because Their Parents Are 'Hypocrites' – Otabil

Dr. Mensa Otabil

Children of pastors are immoral because their parents live a life of hypocrisy, Pastor Mensa Otabil has said.

Teaching his congregation about generational leadership on Sunday, 12 June, 2016, the founder and general overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) said some pastors, who are supposed to live what they preach, as an example to their families and church members, rather turn to establish principles and values, which they do not live by.

“Sometimes generational leaders lay down the rules, but their actions are opposite their own rules. And I said if you know that your previous action is inconsistent, be upfront with it, but don’t be a hypocrite,” Pastor Otabil preached.

“You know, sometimes, people say that pastors’ children are bad people, and there’s a truth in it, because there’s a lot of pastors’ children, who are bad boys and girls. But what makes the pastor’s child a bad boy or girl? People say‘
