Dr Kwabena Donkor is one hell of a ballsy minister. Of all the ministers, his portfolio has had the worst year, with the never ending power crisis. And of all the ministers, he is also the only one who has promised to resign by the end of they year if his sector’s issues are not fixed.

Yet, Honourable Dzifa Attivor has somehow lost her job, and Kwabena Donkor is set to have a job into the new year. It’s not because he fixed the dumsor, but because he is trying a trick of lexicon to wiggle out of his very clear promise.

China’s industrial development in the past few decades has been monstrous, and has yielded significant benefits to the nation. China are now truly one of the world’s superpowers, and even traditional superpowers like the US are beholden to them now.

Often people complain about the repression in so-called Islamic nations, and often people hit back that they aren’t all the same. They aren’t, but taking measures like banning a celebration of other people’s faith just sends the message of how repressive you are.

Recently, the Kingdom of Brunei banned the celebration of Christmas within its borders. Whilst Christians would be allowed to celebrate within their own communities, they have to alert authorities beforehand- and the country’s majority Muslim population are to be shielded from the Christmas festivities, as it might ‘damage their faith’.

President Mahama Forbids Ministers From Travelling First Class On Trips- Only Business Class Allowed

President Mahama

President John Mahama and his band of merry men, whom only countryman Songo can accurately describe for us- have decided that maybe the ‘sika diee’ is too much, and it is time to make some public commitments to curbing it.

Except, even on that; the President cannot make a proper gesture. The difference between first class and business class, on the airlines that actually separate those two- is so small as to be negligible.

The branded MMT buses that somehow cost the Ghanaian taxpayer Ghc 3.6m to brand with the likeness of our former Presidents, has drawn a level of outrage from the populace not seen for a while.
