Prior to their demonstration tomorrow Wednesday, Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has sent a warning to those it describes as ‘nation wreckers’ who are also planning to stage counter demonstration to create unwarranted confusion on the day of “Atta Wayo demonstration’ to hands off or be crushed.
According to a release from the quarters of the civil society group, anybody or group of persons who will make an attempt to foment trouble will not have it easy.
AFAG continued that, it source within the ruling government has picked signals that some unscrupulous persons sympathetic to Mr. Alfred Woyome, the renowned National Democratic Congress(NDC) financier and beneficiary of a whooping sum of GHC928 million (928 Billion Cedis) of the tax payers’ money are feverishly organizing and arming themselves to cause trouble.
“This we see clearly as a grand machination by the powers that be to derail the focus of AFAG from throwing more light on the corrupt deeds of the NDC government,” it stated.
The statement continued that, as a group AFAG will not concede to any pressure to stop its demonstration as it is within the right of every Ghanaian to hit the streets and protest against any injustice and corruption. “We want to state in unequivocal terms that, AFAG is fully prepared for the occasion and will as a result not hesitate to smoke out, deal ruthlessly with and crush to ashes any imposter who sets out to foment trouble in their midst.”
It assured all the genuine demonstrators of their safety and security through its internal security measure to complement that of the Ghana Police Service since it has complied with the Public Order Act.
The civil society group has also invited all other groups to join in the demonstration. These are the TUC, GPRTU, PROTOA, Petty Traders Association, Dress Makers Association, Fisher Folks, Student Bodies and all Labour Unions gravely affected by the gross mismanagement and ‘killer’ policies of the Mills-Mahama government to pour out in their numbers to demonstrate that ultimate power reside with the masses and not the privileged few in government..
Petroleum prices to go up by 30% * Source: Citifmonline .Petroleum prices are expected to go up by an average of 30 per cent in the coming weeks.
This follows a court ruling by an Accra High Court on Tuesday refusing an application by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to reverse an earlier ruling last year that scrapped the ex-refinery differential tax, which was imposed on Ghanaians without Parliamentary approval.
It will be recalled that on 28th November 2011, the court also directed that the accrued surplus since June 2009, which the plaintiffs estimated to be in the region of GHc 661 million, should be deposited into the Consolidated Fund on behalf of Ghanaians.
The plaintiffs in the case were Mr. Kwaku Kwarteng and Mr. Abdul Ganiyu.
Petroleum prices were increased between 15 and 30 per cent about a month ago, much to the objection of several civil society organisations and labour unions including the Trades Union Congress.
The Chief Executive Officer of the NPA, Alex Mould, said his outfit does not have a choice but to comply with the court’s directive. | - Rot at ECG: The big names behind the staggering debt - NDC Members Demonstrate Against Kufuor And NPP Ex-Ministers - Man In The Company Of Girlfriend Shot Dead In Kumasi - Education Minister Betty Mould-Iddrisu resigns - 32 Atomic Security Personnel Released - We Will Wake Mills Up!

And they start off the competition, Sunday, in the Round of 64 against third-tier side Swallah United at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Back in July, the Porcupine Warriors' only hope of a silverware was extinguished by second tier side, FC Nania in the finals in Accra.
Kotoko are aware of the upsets that the Cup competition can throw out as Swallah hopes to cash in on the big day.
In another FA Cup fixture, Kintampo Sharp Arrows and Bofoakwa will replay their preliminary round fixture at the Kintampo Town Park.
The decision to replay followed a Disciplinary Committee ruling after Bofoakwa protested against the outcome of their defunct game on December 13.
The winner will play Hearts of Oak next Sunday in the Round of 64 stage at either Kintampo or Sunyani Coronation Park.

Nana Kofi Ansah, also known as Nana Kwesi Ansah, Managing Director of Golden Age Company, who is suspected of being a key member of a gold scam syndicate operating in the country, has been arrested.
Nana Ansah is alleged to have swindled Mr. Todd Siegmeister, Managing Director of Crown Financial Solution Limited of the USA, of $500,000 and GH¢30,000 under the pretext of supplying and exporting gold to the USA for him. He was arrested by a crack team of security agents at Top Town, a suburb of Kasoa Amanfrom near Accra, where his office and residence are located on January 6, this year.
Highly placed security source told The Enquirer Nana Ansah went into hiding after collecting the said amount from Mr. Siegmeister in November 2010, and efforts to arrest him proved futile.
The source said that Nana Ansah provided his victim with Airway Bill and Customs Excise and Preventive Service documents, including tracking certificate, all dated January 6, 2011, but failed to supply any gold.
According to the source, Nana Ansah in the course of swindling Mr. Siegmeister took some people suspected to be part of the syndicate dressed in CEPS uniform to him to convince him that he was dealing with the right people.
The source said that Nana Ansah has so far admitted collecting the said money and investigations are still going on to arrest other members of the syndicate.

Pratt Grabs Diplomatic Passport * Source: The Citizen Newspaper .... and Smuggles son Into Foreign Affairs
In a clear case of double standard and hypocrisy, Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr., the Managing Editor of The Insight has allegedly grabbed a Diplomatic Passport for himself.
Mr. Pratt Jnr. was a strident critic of former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s administration for cheapening and bringing Ghana’s diplomatic passport into disrepute when his administration, in what can be described as “a mass policy and cronyism,” gave some individuals who by virtue of the laws of the country and standard practice were not entitled to have Diplomatic Passports a rare opportunity to hold the country’s enviable diplomatic passport.
His newspaper, The Insight, which serves as his personal mouthpiece was awash with names of individuals, including Otufuo Osei Tutu, who, according to him, are not deserving of Diplomatic Passport yet hold Ghana’s Diplomatic Passport. As a result of the abuse of Ghana’s Diplomatic Passport, the alleged corruption tag placed on Mr. Kufuor’s NPP administration and its officials and the rising cost of living, the administration came under severe criticism from a section of Ghanaians including its political opponents especially the then opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party.
The NPP paid the political price for the handling of the above-mentioned issues, which eventually led to the defeat of the Danquah, Busia-Dombo tradition in the crunch 2008 elections.
So, three years into the National Democratic Congress’ administration led by President Atta Mills, for the same person to be holding and flaunting a Diplomatic Passport is shocking and unimaginable. Has Mr. Pratt Jnr. sold his conscience to the President Atta Mills led NDC Government and thrown his self-styled principle to the dogs?
According to the laws of the country, those who are entitled to hold Diplomatic Passports include Ministers, Ambassadors and Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials. It is unclear why the Government of the NDC gave Mr. Pratt Jnr. A Diplomatic Passport .... | __________________________________________ |
| | Wednesday, 18.01.2012 / 18th January 2012 | Nigerian vessel pays compensation to govt Sekondi, Jan.17, GNA - A Nigerian vessel, Spirit River, that dumped toxic waste at an engineered landfill site at Sofokrom in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis last year, has paid a penalty of $220,000 dollars to the government.
The Public Relations Officer of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA), Mr Opoku Boateng told the Ghana News Agency in an interview in Sekondi.
The Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (MEST) spearheaded the move for the compensation.
Mr Boateng noted that since the toxic waste was deposited within the territory of the Metropolis as well as a facility constructed by the assembly, the people in the twin-city must benefit from the compensation given to the government.
The assembly had officially petitioned the MEST for a portion of the amount for a project that would benefit the people in the metropolis.
In March 2011, the vessel berthed at the Takoradi Port for a special operation, contracted a Takoradi-based waste management company to the dump toxic waste without authorisation from the government and STMA.
