  A former Minister of Power, Dr Kwabena Donkor, has maintained that the emergency power agreement signed with Ghana Power Generation Company (GPGC) went to Cabinet and Parliament for approval. “The agreement met all the constitutional and legal requirements hence the $170million judgment awarded against the government for the termination,” he stressed. Dr Donkor, who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Pru East in the Bono East Region, pointed out that the award was given for wrongful termination and not for wrongful signing  Reacting to his comments by Godfred Dame, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, that the decision by the signatories to sign such an agreement was uninformed, he expressed surprise and raised concerns Mr Dame did not deem it fit to confirm whoever terminated the agreement would also be referred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service. However, Dr Donkor stressed that “the Agreement was sent to cabinet, it had cabin...

  Ghana’s first lady has offered to refund all the allowances she has received since the president assumed office in 2017, following a public outcry over salaries. Rebecca Akufo-Addo also said she would not accept a salary that was recently approved by the country’s parliament. She said in a statement that she had “decided to refund all monies paid to her as allowances” amounting to 899,097.84 Ghanaian cedis ($151,618; £109,111). She said she did not request to be paid and had “only received that which existed and attached to her status, albeit informally”. The decision to refund the money was in view of the “extremely negative opinion, in some cases, which she finds distasteful, seeking to portray her as a venal, self-serving and self-centered woman who does not care about the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian”, the statement added. Last week, Ghanaians expressed outrage at the decision by MPs to approve salaries for the wives of the president and vice-president for the supportive r...

  Ghanaian men seem to be just okay when it comes to their height, but they woefully fall short when it comes to pairing up with Stephanie Benson’s daughters. The never-aging Ghanaian Queen of Jazz has been blessed with five children, three of whom are female. Unfortunately for anyone who banked their hopes on snatching their hearts, all three have grabbed them some suitors. The proud mama posted pictures of her dashing daughters all coupled up with their partners on her Twitter page. A commenter observed that none of the partners were Ghanaian, obviously unhappy about the fact. Stephanie took her time to explain how come no Ghanaian man was good enough for any of her daughters. According to her, all the nice guys the girls met when they were in Ghana were deficient in height. Apparently, her daughters are all over 5ft 8in, otherwise, she would have been pleased to have a Ghanaian son-in-law. A quick Google search shows that the average Ghanaian man is 5ft 7in tall while...
