With the complements of
a companion of the black star
Nana Akyea Mensah, The Odikro
Dear Visitor,
I have been instructed by the Odikro to extend to you his fraternal greetings!
In this blog we shall seek to provide information on hot topics doing the rounds in the country as we monitor the emerging ones. It is our intention to create a platform that could be drawn upon and expanded to help provide a comprehensive, alternative, objective and factual perspectives on the hot topics of the day and to help create their archives.
The blog is also intended to double as a campaign platform for the identification, defence and the advancement of the interests of the ordinary Ghanaian as opposed to those of big multinational corporations.
HOT TOPICS OF THE DAY:
The Ministry of Information as part of efforts to trumpet the achievements of the government published a 39-page book in which it chronicles sector by sector achievements of the government.
Konadu Squeezes Mills
While it has become clear that Nana Konadu is on a serious campaign to become the flag-bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), her position as wife of the party’s founder and incumbent first national chairman of the party makes her a thorny subject to deal with.
Nana Konadu may not have uttered a word in public but an official website rallying support for her campaign to become the 2012 Presidential candidate of the NDC has unnerved the Presidency, with Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, aide to the President, throwing his weight about that nobody in the party could beat President Mills in a presidential primary.
Aside Nii Lantey’s brag, the rest of the Mills loyalists in government have gone dumb and the Presidency is said to be instigating the party to get Nana Konadu to distance herself from the ongoing campaign till nominations are opened. More...
The raging debate as to whether former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will contest the ticket for the NDC presidential candidate seems to have taken a new twist as a website endorsing the former first lady's bid has been outdoored.

Mills' record appalling - NPP
While the ruling National Democratic Congress is basking in the glory of the book Top 50 Achievements of the Prof. John Evans Atta Mills led Government in his first two years in office, the opposition New Patriotic Party says those so-called achievements are phantom “barefaced lies that need telescopic eyes to sight them.”The Ministry of Information as part of efforts to trumpet the achievements of the government published a 39-page book in which it chronicles sector by sector achievements of the government.

Konadu for 2012 website outdoored
The raging debate as to whether former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will contest the ticket for the NDC presidential candidate seems to have taken a new twist as a website endorsing the former first lady's bid has been outdoored.
Latest information gathered by The Chronicle indicates the website was designed by the controversial group, Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR) who in recent past have embarked on campaign tactics to project the former first lady as the viable option for the NDC presidential candidate in the 2012 general elections.

Wikileaks: State Dept. wants intel on African acceptance of GMOs

The Wikileaks release of U.S. State Department classified diplomatic cables may be problematic, but it has been quite a trove of information on the workings of our diplomatic corps. For the most part, the dump has confirmed things that we already knew about U.S. policy -- and that seems to be the case regarding the one mention of agricultural policy in these thousands of emails and documents (no doubt there are more) to which I was alerted.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has began a comprehensive study of all reports on the operations of Superlock Technologies Limited (STL) an Israeli company which was awarded a contract for the renovation of three of Ghana's missions abroad.
The contract of US$16,746,682.00 was for the renovation of Ghana's missions in New York, Washington DC and Ottawa.
Interestingly, Superlock Technologies Limited has no construction experience.
Sources at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told The Insight that the Don Arthur report on the renovation of the missions as well as all media reports are being studied for serious action.
A report prepared by a Ghanaian team headed by Dr Adu Arthur of the office of the President says the contract was awarded without regard to the Public Procurement Law (ACT 663). More...
