OPINION: DEAR GFA, GBC DESERVES BETTER

My checks revealed that the national Broadcaster GBC is among the few media outlets that put in their bid for the broadcast right of the upcoming 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League.
If this is true then honorable Minister of Youth And Sports and President of GFA, I think your work has been made easy on deciding who should be the broadcast right holders of the Ghana Premier League 2019/2020 season.
Mr GFA President and Hon Sports Minister, the records are that only eight hundred thousand (800,000) out of over thirty (30 ) million people have access to digital boxes or decoders if you like, and on record, I also know that government is willing to sponsor the league which is very important. Mr President won’t it be equally important if more than twenty (20 ) million people or Ghanaians have direct access to a free to air TV ???
Ghana football is coming back after the negatives of #12. It is important to make it accessible to all Ghanaians but not to lock it on a decoder, hence GBC.
Mr President and my Honorable Minister as old people say, “Sense is not in only one man’s head.”
My humble appeal is that in giving the broadcast rights out to a deserving institution, the National broadcaster GBC should be considered.
The national broadcaster came to the rescue of Ghana football when the majority of those so called, “Ma try Ma kw3”, institutions biding now rejected and showed their back to Dr Kofi Amoah when he called on them for the NC special competition because there were no gains.
Hmmmmmmm
To be continued.

Need For Ghanaians To Support The 2021 Budget

  The 2021 budget focused on the need to complete all previously initiated projects, consolidate the economy and continue with new programmes for the benefit of the people. The previous practice where some of the uncompleted projects were delayed for various reasons is unacceptable and must be abandoned for the progress of the country. This is good and ought to be realized because abandoned or neglected projects constitute a drain on the resources of the country. Development programmes must be well thought through before their implementation. Their implementation must also be well planned so that they will not constitute a waste of resources in the country. If this is done at all times, the entire country will benefit from a sound and maximum use of its limited resources for Ghanaians. This must therefore guide all governments, present and future for the rapid socio-economic development of the country. It is clear that government needs more revenue to be able to finance its development

One Year Of Coronavirus In Ghana

  Exactly a year ago, Ghana announced the first two recorded Coronavirus cases in the country. This was after few months that the World Health Organisation (WHO) had declared the disease a public health emergency of international concern. It became the highest level of alarm under international law. The WHO published an interactive timeline showcasing how the organization has taken action on information, science, leadership, advice, response and resourcing. A year on, Ghana’s Covid-19 death toll has reached 656, with active case standing at 4,782 with 272 new cases recorded, leading to 86,737 total confirmed cases. Experts are of the opinion that the figures might have been terrible but for the pragmatic and prudent measures put in by the Government, which was hailed across the globe. Ghana is said to have been one of the world’s best countries to have managed the spread of COVID-19 very well. Indeed, the country’s leadership with respect to the control of the pandemic has been superb.

Showing compassion to the less privileged

  Poverty, it is said, is a serious disease which when it afflicts you, will not kill you easily but rather disorganises your plans and ways of living and renders you impotent. Nobody is born poor on this earth but rather, certain unforeseen circumstances give way to poverty. A touchy and heart-rendering story of an 18-year old orphan who is desirous of becoming a doctor in the future but currently facing financial challenges to support his education to realise his ambition is for some time now trending on social media. Edward Elorm Gbanaglo is said to have completed his secondary education at the Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC) in Accra with seven A’s and two B’s and has gained admission into the University of Health and Allied Sciences at Ho in the Volta Region. He managed to pay his admission fees with the help of his late mother’s friends. However, Elorm, who defied all odds to make excellent grades, fears he might not be able to complete the program because he does
