00:00 Welcome back and it's time now for us to get into the news review. Shortly we'll
00:05 be introducing to you the other person who will be joining me for this review.
00:11 But for now, thank you for staying with us as we get into the newspapers. This
00:15 segment always brought to you by Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic and they are
00:20 offering free prostate screening if you're a man out there. Don't wait. If
00:24 you're in the 30s right now, don't wait till you see any signs, any wrong signals.
00:29 Just every year be consistent with it. Check your prostate. I mean a full
00:33 medical screening, yes, but check your prostate as well. It's crucial. If you're
00:37 a woman, do you know your fertility status? Do you know where you stand? Do you know
00:41 whether you are developing fibroids, for example? It's becoming common nowadays.
00:45 That is why you can get both of these from Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic. They
00:49 are offering it gratis, completely for free. Okay, make tracks to any of their
00:53 branches here in Accra. They are at Spintex opposite the Shell signboard. In
00:57 Kumasi, they are at Kronuma Buenia behind the Angel Educational Complex. Then
01:01 there's Takradea Naji Estate. There's Temaa Community 22. There's Tichiman Hounsouin
01:05 in Siama and Zima. If you'd like to call them, these are the numbers you can
01:10 reach them on 0244 867 068 0244 867 068 or 0274 234 321 0274 234 321.
01:24 Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic, the end to chronic disease. But just the start of
01:28 the news review with my partner in mischief. Oh, I meant my partner in good
01:34 things. Joseph Akable. The mischief was mischievous.
01:41 But this morning, you know, I love your boots. I saw your boots and I
01:48 fell in love with them. I fell in love with your boots.
01:52 I got them recently. They are quite expensive. Oh really?
01:57 I have to try. Really? And you are living the life. No, no, no. I got liquidity support.
02:04 Liquidity support just to get boots. But I've noticed you have this love, this
02:10 passion for boots. What is it? You wouldn't usually, if you look, if you find
02:14 this gentleman, watch him when he's delivering his reports from court. You
02:17 would often see him in boots like, you know. I don't like the flat shoes,
02:25 you know, the one that has something like underneath it a bit. When I was a boy, I
02:29 used to really hate them. That's all my mom was buying for me. So I always said to myself that.
02:35 Now that you're a bit older. Yeah, I always said to myself that when I'm able to afford, I'll just buy what I want to wear.
02:39 So, I mean, I'm trying to these days wear what I want. Yeah, living up to your... Anyway, it's good to have you
02:46 join us this morning. Like I would usually do with my guests and even my
02:50 colleagues here when we have the opportunity of doing this. I'd like to
02:53 find out from you, what are the highlights of the week for you in terms
02:58 of those major stories? You've been in court throughout, you followed the
03:01 Jatjikwesin trial, the ups and downs, there's Parliament and everything
03:05 happening there. And now we have the first Deputy Speaker, Joe Wise, saying
03:10 that this is turning out to be the worst Parliament in Ghana's history. What do you
03:16 make of it? I mean, I think obviously my highlights would be what's been playing
03:20 out in Parliament and the courts because I've been covering that quite
03:26 closely. And I don't think I would have reason to disagree with Joe Wise in
03:32 terms of his conclusions about how things have gone in Parliament. You think
03:36 it's turning out to be the worst? Yes, I don't have any doubt at all. I mean, a lot of
03:40 people when Parliament became closely pegged, I mean, the thinking was that it was
03:46 going to be used to direct government policy. We've not seen that happen. I mean,
03:52 there are test case, very controversial matters. Let's pick Ileli for instance.
03:56 The parliamentary numbers could not be used to ensure that some form of
04:01 negotiations take place in order to reach a conclusion where it does not
04:04 come into force, it came into force. Yes, some may argue that it went down to 1%,
04:08 but I mean the point really is that it is what people did not want. I mean, we've
04:12 seen ministers who were appointed and everyone or some analysts made a point
04:17 that there were too many ministers or some people should not be approved
04:20 wholesale. They were all approved wholesale. I mean, the most recent one was the three
04:24 new ministers that were approved, the Trade and Industry, our Greek minister. We
04:28 had a minority that declared that it was going out, all out to ensure that we're not going to
04:33 approve those three individuals because it was going to add on to the numbers. They were
04:36 approved anyways. Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawakumse. We saw that.
04:40 I mean, she was one person that the minority drew a red line, I mean,
04:45 above her name, but she ended up getting the highest vote.
04:48 Surprising. So you're laying the blame at the doorstep of both
04:54 political parties. So we've seen the fights, the rancor, Carlos Ahinkra.
05:00 Yesterday was his birthday or so, running away with ballots and getting chased.
05:04 We have seen the walkouts and so many others. We've seen the bloody
05:11 widow incident, Lady Alhassan, post the Ayahuasca war gone by election.
05:17 But at the same time, some would say this is what democracy is all about. The push
05:22 and shove, the back and forth, and that this actually is the best we've had
05:28 in the Fourth Republic. What would you say to such people? I mean, to what end exactly?
05:32 And that's why the minister points you, the deputy speaker points you to
05:37 the fact that in terms of laws passed, and if you remember the first term
05:42 under Professor Michael Kwe, that Parliament, I remember when they did the
05:45 review at the end of the session, the conclusion was that it had passed the most
05:49 bills in the history of the Parliament of Ghana. I mean, you have the deputy
05:53 speaker again making the point that if you compare since 2020 till now, this
05:57 Parliament may end up at the end, as at close of 2024, possibly passing the
06:02 least number of bills in the history of Parliament. Is the work of Parliament restricted to, yes, they are lawmakers, but it's also about the quality of bills.
06:12 It's not about the quantity of bills. There are certain bills that have been on the table, on the back burner for a long time that we've been
06:18 talking about, which now are actually coming to the fore. I mean, we cannot run away from that.
06:24 No doubt, but if you want to talk about quality, let's look at quality in this
06:28 week. One whole week. It's a week where there are questions, a number of
06:34 questions were actually filed in the name of the minority members of Parliament.
06:37 Those questions ended up being answered by the minister. There wasn't an
06:42 opportunity for any proper follow-ups or interrogation of those questions as
06:46 would happen if they were present in the House. What I'm saying is that it is not
06:50 unknown to parliamentary culture for MPs to stage walkouts and all those
06:54 things. What I'm saying is that this Parliament as a House has failed to reach
06:58 consensus when it mattered most. It has also failed to use the strength of its
07:04 members on both sides to force change when it also equally matters most. So in
07:09 the end, we have every bit of everything happening. So there are instances when you
07:13 don't expect consensus. Consensus is rich behind the scenes. There are instances where
07:17 you expect people to use their muscle to stop something. They are unable to stop it.
07:21 So we have a lot of different things happening but the net effect
07:26 has not been as impressive as a lot of people would want it to go. So that is my
07:31 issue with this particular week and how things have gone on in Parliament.
07:35 Anyway, so those are his sentiments on happenings going on in recent times.
07:43 Let's get into the papers now, Joe. Let's find out what they have to share with us.
07:48 You have the fine and the daily guide. It's a bit of a lean morning.
07:52 Yes, very lean. I mean it's almost as though we're dieting. Yeah, it's a rainy
07:57 morning though. Charlie, this kind of morning, if you are coming from certain
08:02 places, we at least mistake. You'll be caught somewhere and you will not be able to...
08:05 Yeah, it's that kind of morning that you see sometimes when you wake up you say that...
08:09 It nearly happened to me this week. You were in bed trouble. I was, you know, and then I had a hair.
08:16 And the rain, especially with our kinds of roads and the
08:21 craters we have on them and then the traffic that springs up all of a sudden
08:25 when it's raining. I don't know, it's almost as though the rains always came
08:31 with traffic. Like it can even be a dump. All of a sudden when it starts raining, I
08:36 think everyone gets in a hurry.
08:39 And also because some parts of the road end up being covered by the rain.
08:44 So the roads do not become as wide as they often are.
08:47 So now you see a number of cars using one lane, trying to squeeze through
08:50 and some debris. But anyway, we'll soon be done with this season. All I am looking at
08:55 is the next rainy season, which is the heavier one. It's shorter but heavier and
09:00 I'm hoping we can put measures in place before then. But let's get into the
09:03 papers. You have the Daily Guide, the Finder, I have the Daily Graphic. Maybe,
09:07 just maybe, we may add some online portals. But let's start from your end.
09:11 And so the Daily Guide reports this morning that the NPP National Executive
09:16 Committee discusses special delegate confirm. Bugrinabu aids grabbed over
09:22 leaked IGP tape and a basin killer for high court is on the front page and
09:27 Cassius mining injunction set for ruling. Interior Minister must act swiftly,
09:32 according to the GJA. The back page has this story about, "I cried for five days
09:39 after World Cup exit." It's coming from Neymar. A deadly shooting overshadows
09:45 women's World Cup stats also on the back page. And GFA rules out 2023-2024
09:51 season roadmap. And Ghana maintains FIFA ranking is also over there. So I mean a
09:57 bit of some of the stories that are quite new and broke out yesterday. I
10:02 think the NPP won. We know that the party has now indicated that they actually had
10:08 a petition that was filed by nine flag-bearer candidates asking the party
10:14 leadership to consider the decision to centralize the August 26th special
10:19 delegates Congress. Now according to the petitioners, the plan to hold a special
10:23 Congress on a regional basis does not sit well with them, arguing that
10:28 decentralizing an election with only 900 delegates would not be a wise decision.
10:34 So the petition was sent to the party. The party met, the high decision-making
10:39 body met, and they've come to the conclusion that they would hold it in a
10:45 decentralized manner. So what will happen is that there will be voting taking place in all
10:49 the 16 regions. Then there will also be one other center at the headquarters
10:56 and sort of for other national officers and other individuals who will be voting.
11:01 What do you make of that position though? It's weird. I mean 900? I found it rather curious.
11:09 900 can be like, I mean because you know they see they've decentralized their polling
11:14 stations now, so 900 can be like maybe some two, three polling stations. It could
11:18 even in some areas be one. Yes, it could possibly be one. So I mean it begs the
11:25 question. So I don't know what the voting arrangements will be on that day. So for
11:29 instance, if we are voting across the country and we are done voting, the
11:33 number of people on there, registering each area, if they are done voting, do they wait
11:37 till 5 p.m. before they close voting and transmit it to Accra? Those dynamics we'll have to find out when
11:43 when the party you know moves ahead with this and of course the Electoral
11:47 Commission also. But it's interesting that nine of them, I mean from our
11:52 understanding, minus Bamiya, we understand nine of them actually took the view that
11:57 it should be held in a centralized location. I don't know. I mean I don't find it so surprising because it's always been said that Dr. Bamiya is more or less the
12:12 establishment candidate, the establishment person. Would he go against
12:16 establishment, that is the the the administrative leadership of the party? I
12:22 don't know. Maybe he has his own opinion and has simply not shared it.
12:27 Nine out of ten are saying look we have questions, hard questions on the matter. I
12:34 feel the party should listen. You know sometimes I feel our two political
12:38 parties, even in their internal politics, it's a bit of a take or leave situation
12:43 and this is one of them. It remains to be seen how the the party will roll this
12:49 out and whether they will in fact listen. Do you think it affects the chances of
12:53 any of the candidates anyway, whether we are voting at one location at say trade fair
12:57 and whether we are voting across the country, does it increase or decrease
13:00 anyone's chances? Give or take, it may, it may not. Politics is a curious game. It's
13:05 an interesting game and of course when you have everyone in one location, look
13:08 there are some people who at the very you know at the 11th hour may interact
13:14 with someone else from some other place and get convinced to vote this way or
13:18 that and in a centralized location I feel then you have that level of
13:23 accountability. You know what is going on generally, the picture is clear. You
13:27 remember when the MPP went and John Bwedu was losing, it is clear. The writing
13:33 is on the wall, you can see that generally this is what is going on.
13:36 JFK is winning. I feel that is the case. When you spread it across the regions
13:41 then someone may be in the Ashanti region and say oh this region, the way things went
13:45 there, I'm not happy. I don't feel it was this. I feel that was compromised. I feel
13:49 that all of that could have been taken away. You have everybody at one location
13:53 and please 900 people really. And I think the cost as well I mean because I mean
13:59 yes some of the candidates have the financial muscle to effectively have a
14:04 good monitoring system across the system. I do not think all of them have
14:08 the capacity. Not all of them. I don't want to mention names so it
14:11 doesn't appear I'm denigrating anybody. We know that some would struggle,
14:14 really struggle. Yeah so I mean that is that story from the NPP. There's this
14:18 other one about Bugri N'Abu. You know this about the leaked tape. Yes the alleged
14:23 plot to remove the IGP. He had an interview with Oyer Pespaka-Wilson
14:28 and there are parts of the interview where he effectively confirms that the
14:33 recording took place at his place because he says they had come to see him
14:36 to complain to him about a senior party official and we are told that two of his
14:41 aides have been arrested. So he says well this morning they took the lead that
14:46 they were going to work. My personal aide SK and then my reception so they've
14:51 both been arrested. And so I heard from Parliament too. James Agalgon
14:57 on the Interior Security and Defence Committee. So you know there's a
15:01 committee, a special committee that has been set up to investigate the matter.
15:04 Bipartisan. Yes he says this makes their work easier because they have someone
15:09 who has admitted to the fact that a recording took place at his place. So
15:13 that's effectively authenticates the content of the tape to an extent and
15:17 they will invite Bugri N'Abu to... You know who was it that came on this show?
15:23 There was someone and the person said look if the authorities really want to
15:30 get into this all they have to go to all they have to do is go to Bugri N'Abu.
15:36 Why? He's a very honest man and if it did happen he'll own up and say this is what
15:41 transpired. I think it was an NDC member of Parliament.
15:47 We didn't even know how Bugri N'Abu was connected to this. Yeah that's true.
15:52 We had just heard that it had been conducted in his premises at his
15:58 residence. But I mean everyone seemed to for some reason... And now he's actually
16:01 come out to confirm that it did take place and what we do not know is the
16:06 motive behind the recording. Anyway. Some other story in the Daily Guide. There's
16:15 this mining fight between government and Cassius Mining and we are told that an
16:21 Accra court has set July 31 to give a ruling on an application for interim
16:26 injunction filed by the Attorney General seeking to restrain Cassius Mining
16:30 Limited from filing another international arbitration against the
16:33 government of Ghana. So on that day they would also make a decision on a
16:37 preliminary objection by the lawyers for the Australian company regarding the
16:40 propriety or otherwise of the action initiated against it. So the Attorney
16:44 General is seeking to restrain the company from pursuing any arbitration
16:49 outside Ghana until the pending arbitration process in Ghana, the Ghana
16:54 Arbitration Centre are concluded. And the company had actually dragged Ghana to an
16:59 international arbitration centre demanding 300 million dollars. But the AG says under their mining
17:06 perspective... They want to take all our IMF money. That's literally half of what... And if you look at the
17:13 attendant costs, surrounding costs, it would actually be more than that sum of 300
17:18 million. Anyway. You can see why the AG is fighting this one out. Black Sheriff
17:21 arrested... I was just about to say, tell me what's up with Black Sheriff. So what does
17:26 the story say? And let's talk about what is also, you know, out there on social
17:30 media. What really happened? The story says he was reportedly arrested at the
17:34 Kutsuka International Airport on Wednesday upon his return from a trip. He was picked
17:38 up by personnel of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana
17:42 Police Service for his failure to honour his side of a contractual obligation to
17:46 perform at a show in Greece. According to a Kofi TV report, he was stopped upon
17:50 arrival because his name had been placed on a stop list. The report indicated that
17:55 he was taken to the police headquarters in Accra for further investigations.
18:00 Details of the alleged arrest added that he was to perform in Greece on a cruise
18:04 ship on July 4. He charged $40,000 and he was paid half of the money ahead of
18:10 the concert. He was to be paid the rest of the money after the concert.
18:14 Unfortunately, he didn't show up in Greece for the concert. The organizers have
18:18 therefore decided to take up the matter with the police. And the video on social
18:22 media captured Black Sheriff being let out of the airport by the police.
18:29 The villain who never was Black Sheriff. It appears in this instance he just might be an
18:34 actual villain. But some of what I have read on social media and of course this
18:38 still it's it's still a bit sketchy. We've seen one Danny something you know
18:43 speaking to the issues. But apparently there was a $20,000 so a $40,000
18:50 deal. Half paid the first time, half upon actually carrying out the service that
18:57 he was supposed to render on this yacht or whatever in Greece.
19:02 Anyway, so that is just by the side. And then apparently he's
19:09 supposed to make some promos or something which were not a part of the
19:14 contract. Which he is not allowed to do. And apparently some people, the Gramps
19:20 Morgans and the rest, come in and apparently his management calls
19:27 their bluff about three you know Baba Sadiq among others. And then their bluff is
19:32 called and then finally this is the action taken. But if that is the
19:37 trajectory then I feel Black Sheriff's management there may be some question
19:43 marks in there. Because then they've exposed their artiste to unnecessary
19:47 ridicule. And you never know what such you know I learned from the Kele Kuda
19:53 happening with national security and all of that. It's a very dicey you
19:58 know I know someone very close to him. I know him but we are not that close. But
20:02 some of what I got to know you know you have to be very careful. Some people it's
20:07 very how they are dealt with in this instance. It can impact them in a lot of
20:12 ways. And I feel sad that because he has brought a lot of positives, attention to
20:17 Ghana and all of that. This is a negative I wasn't expecting.
20:21 I mean for me I had the gentleman who claimed to have brokered the deal. And
20:26 from what I heard from him I also came to the same conclusion that I think our
20:31 artists some of them are not taking management seriously. I think some of
20:34 them are doing so actually. Because the discussions on social media, someone
20:39 was also making a point that if you pick someone like Sarkode, he's been in the
20:42 game for a while. I don't recall any publication I've heard somewhere that
20:46 Sarkode is taking money from someone. I've heard it with a number of
20:50 other artists in some instances. I mean and even when they do even Burnaboy
20:54 there are places where and then apologies will be issued. The right thing
20:58 would be done. I think this what's his name? Oduyu.
21:02 It's Kizdanyo. He was supposed to be in Tanzania, Ghana among others.
21:07 Yeah I mean you must do the right things. Madonna had to cancel an
21:11 entire but there are medical reasons. There's nothing but it's a
21:15 force majeure situation. Yes but you ought to communicate. Exactly, exactly.
21:20 And you see even my initial instinct is to say that look why is
21:25 the police arresting him? It's a contract. They should sue him for breach of
21:27 contract. But then again my suspicion is that they may be trying to contact them
21:31 and they are not getting them. And so in this case they will actually possibly be
21:34 filing and defrauding. Honestly I feel the arrest was a bit of
21:38 overkill. I feel it was unnecessary. I feel from where I sit.
21:42 But there are processes to trigger. I mean I had a gentleman he says we can't find him.
21:48 So I mean instead of going under a breach of contract he walked to the
21:52 police station and say that this guy took your $20,000 that you're going to commit.
21:56 He's defrauded me. So he's defrauded me. And the police would have to arrest. So it
22:00 changes the whole dynamics of a breach of contract into a possible crime that has
22:03 been committed. But one thing is for sure I want to hope that artists in the
22:09 country will learn a lesson from this. If you are entering any contractual
22:13 arrangement with someone better know what the fine print is and if they
22:18 expect XYZ of you. I mean there are some things I've been doing for some
22:22 entities over the years. You know exactly what is expected of you. So you don't go
22:27 outside of that. If you do you are in breach and you will be held liable. It's
22:30 just a sorry situation. Unfortunately we've actually not heard from Black Shave
22:35 directly. So we'll be looking forward to hear from them. But I mean
22:39 I love Black Shave. He's the champion.
22:43 Charlie some of his I was just he has a song with our day or something. Sometimes
22:51 the way he starts a song the way he comes in like hot yeah oil in my head.
22:55 Yes. No no no preliminary. He comes in boom. Yeah it's not like you know
23:03 artists usually will warm you into a song. Like he's coming like a taliban.
23:09 Like he comes in hot and the beats in. I was I was I was driving the other day
23:13 with someone else like Charlie this song the way the guy starts. The fire.
23:19 Oil in my head is my morning drive song. And you know he said something
23:23 interesting some time ago and that's why I'm expecting a song when he comes out.
23:26 He said that he's a musician. He said he doesn't waste stories. So when something
23:31 happens to him he's not going to tweet about it. Yeah yeah yeah. Put it in a song.
23:37 That's the best thing. Charlie said there is producers are always they have a lot of beats.
23:41 So Charlie wants the beat there there. He can't waste the story. You put it on the beat and make money from it.
23:47 I mean so. And that's one thing I think a niche he's carving out for himself. If
23:51 you look at rappers and all that that's why Nas would be hailed over a Jay Z.
23:55 I love Nas. Many more platinum. I prefer Nas to Jay Z. He's a storyteller.
24:01 Yeah storyteller. For some people the foremost storyteller in terms of rap music.
24:05 He's not a weird play rhyme kind of guy. No. But he's telling you a story. Listen to Sabali for example.
24:11 With Damian Mali. I love it. Anyway let's get into some other stories. The Finder.
24:15 We have just about five minutes and then so you finish with the Finder and then
24:19 I'll get into. So quickly the front page stories on the Finder. Portuguese president
24:22 Lourdes Ganes good democratic culture and nine MPP flag bearer who forced
24:27 demand centralized special delegates conference. Okay it's been turned down
24:30 like we know. A new register for special delegates conference to be ready by end
24:35 of week is from Justin from Porncudia and road crashes killed 1086 in six
24:41 months. Motorcycles alone killed a staggering 459 persons. And so those are
24:47 the stories on in the Finder news but I think I'll do the daily graphic.
24:54 All right. There's this message that comes through Albert K.J. says I'm
24:58 praying for the day that the media will stop talking about the MPP and the NBC
25:02 but the party themselves will buy their own airtime to propagate their
25:05 contributions to the nation building. It's a two-way street. If you see us
25:08 covering an event of this full full scale like that they have paid for it.
25:13 But when you see us engaging them on policy matters on governance matters of
25:19 course what do you expect us to do. We would have to bring them here so that they can
25:23 we can hold their feet to the fire of accountability. That's so it's a
25:28 two-way street my brother. Anyway let's the daily graphic. 2023 National
25:32 Insurance Fair only 1% of public insured. Can you imagine that? 1% of public
25:38 insured. Insurance Association concerned. Collaborate with government to increase
25:42 hotel rooms. Tourism minister to hoteliers. Cleaner loses four bedroom
25:46 house and then Supreme Court rules on Bank of Ghana revocation of licenses and
25:51 that story is also becoming another thorny matter. You remember G.N.
25:56 Yes so he had wanted to go he sued an article 33 that his rights had been breached
26:01 under high court. You're talking of Dr. Papakosindhu. Because his property had been taken away from him in a
26:06 manner contrary to the Constitution. The BOJ raised an objection that
26:10 under the Banks and Specialized Deposit Taking Institutions Act you should go to
26:14 a dispute resolution if you have issues with revocation of your
26:18 license. The High Court disagreed with the BOJ. The Court of Appeal agreed with
26:23 the BOJ. Now the Supreme Court has agreed with the High Court. So they are going back to
26:27 the High Court to litigate the human rights action as to whether the revocation
26:31 breached his rights as a Ghanian. On the back page three fishermen arrested for
26:35 fishing during closed season. Three fishermen arrested for fishing during
26:44 closed season. That's the story but let me just focus on these ones and then we
26:47 can wrap. Now only 1% of the 37 million population of Ghana are insured. A figure
26:53 that industry experts have described as disturbing giving the benefits of
26:57 insurance in every economy. Now speaking at the opening of a three-day insurance
27:01 fair in Accra yesterday the second vice president of the Ghana Insurance
27:05 Association Mabel Nana Nyakwa Poble expressed concern about the low
27:09 penetration rate of insurance in the country and called on Ghanaians to
27:12 cultivate the habit of securing their lives and property through insurance.
27:17 Okay then there's this other story. Let me go to page 13 and do the stories
27:25 there. So the Supreme Court has declared that the High Court can interrogate the
27:31 revocation of licenses of banks and specialized deposit taking institutions
27:36 especially with regard to alleged breaches of fundamental human rights. Now
27:39 the court held that section 141 of the Banks and Special Deposit Taking
27:43 Institutions Act 2016 that is Act 930 which stipulates arbitration as the
27:48 means of seeking redress for those whose licenses had been revoked by
27:53 the Bank of Ghana did not oust the jurisdiction of the High Court to also
27:56 determine the propriety of the revocation. So like you said that is
28:00 where we find ourselves currently. A cleaner loses four-bedroom house and a
28:04 cleaner and bakery owner whose four-bedroom house at Mpehuasem in the
28:09 greater Accra region is it okay was demolished is seeking justice a year
28:14 after the ordeal. Benson Osaya Champong who works at the University of Ghana
28:18 bought the 70 feet by 100 feet plot from the then chief of Mpehuasem in Accra
28:24 Nisodja Obodai and secured an indenture of the land dated December 31 2011. An
28:29 indenture which he showed to the Daily Graphic confirms that Nisodja Obodai gave
28:33 the land worth 40,000 Ghana cities to a Champong on behalf of the Sanchi
28:37 family of light in the greater Accra region. We have so many a plethora of
28:41 such cases land litigation immovable property and I don't know ask for a
28:48 cry out there Charlie you know get land for yourself. If you are not careful you don't do
28:53 business you deal business you be in big trouble if you don't you're not diligent about how you go about it
28:59 checks Charlie you end up buying land and even spending more to even even
29:04 decide to leave the land itself for someone else it's a big problem. It's a
29:08 really big issue let me just see whether on the international front we can pick
29:12 something from there and then we can go. A million more could soon face hunger in
29:16 Burkina Faso that's according to an NGO and we have our own situation here in
29:21 this country with the numbers that are falling into poverty and hunger UK
29:25 sanctions Wagner leaders over African activities and UK to confiscate 129
29:30 million dollars from Nigerian ex-governor. Now today on the chopping
29:37 board I'm going to be sharing my blunt thoughts as always and it's quite a pot
29:44 that I have for you. I'm going to be talking about the city's flip-flop you
29:49 still have to purchase it at around 12 Ghana cities. I'm going to be talking
29:53 about the proposed haircuts or the new ones we're going to have in that second
29:57 round of a debt exchange program. I'm going to be talking about the SkyTrain
30:02 project and wrapping with some thoughts I couldn't help myself on the death
30:08 penalty and the dynamics therein. Those on the chopping board this morning but
30:14 let me say a very good morning and happy birthday to Aaron Telfer. Aaron fantastic
30:20 guy I've known you for many years. Today's your birthday and you are in a
30:25 UN operation now. I just want to wish you the very best my brother happy birthday
30:31 to you Aaron Telfer and greetings to the family. Bro we have to go for prime
30:37 take any final thoughts before we run? I'm very tired we are grateful that the
30:42 week has come to an end. Does the week really end? I mean I'm coming to work
30:47 tomorrow but I mean it's fine it's been a good week and we look forward to a
30:53 great weekend. Unfortunately the football seasons are off so the weekends have been
30:58 down for a lot of people. I know a lot of our viewers are big football fans they'll
31:02 have to make do with it. Some people have started watching tennis and trying to watch other things.
31:08 I've always been a fan of tennis though. Yeah. I've been watching it since the days of
31:12 Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi. I see I'm a boxing football boxing that's just about it.
31:18 Oh we should arrange a match one of these days. Have a display. I never said I'm a boxer.
31:22 No no no I'm saying I'm saying I'm taking you on we should do something.
31:27 I saw Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg say they want you. We have to get a license from you.
31:31 We have to get a license. Like Ghana Boxing Authority. We'll go do one behind the scenes.
