Mahama breached antiterrorism law – Mustapha Hamid
Mustapha Hamid, a lecturer at the Department of Religion and Human Values of the University of Cape Coast has accused President John Mahama of violating the nation’s laws on anti-terrorism, for hosting two former Guantanamo Bay detainees. -
Mr Hamid argued that the President should have asked Parliament to review the anti-terrorism Act 762 before accepting the two. “…The Antiterrorism Act 762 section 35 states that the Director of Immigration or an officer authorized by the director shall not grant an endorsement or authority to permit a person to enter this country if there is reasonable ground to suspect that the person is, will or has been involved in the commission of a terrorist act. The sovereign laws of Ghana states that people like this cannot come into our country. So if the president was going to bring people like that what he should have done was to seek a repeal or a review of this law to make it possible,” he added. Two former Guantanamo Bay inmates; Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby are currently in Ghana as free men at the behest of the US government who had assured that the two pose no security threat to the nation. Meanwhile the decision has generated massive public outcry despite the assurances. President John Mahama while interacting with the media called for compassion for the former detainees. -
But speaking on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News, Mustapha Hamid who wants the detainees repatriated said the action by the President will send Ghana back to authoritarian rule. “I am calling on all Ghanaians that it is important that we stand up and protect the laws of our country. Once we have opted for democracy…we ought to stick to the rudiments of rule of law otherwise future presidents are going to use compassion as ground to violate Ghana’s laws with impunity and that will send us back to authoritarian rule. Now, today, he violates the antiterrorism Act and goes scot free, tomorrow which other law do we know he is going to violate because of compassion?” Mohammed Hamid questioned. – By: Godwin A.

Compensation for daring taxi driver “overkill” – Fritz Baffour
The bold taxi driver receiving his new car from Koala
The bandits shot and wounded a sales girl of Koala Supermarket at Cantonments in Accra, but their operation was foiled by the driver who chanced on the scene.
The two gun-wielding robbers could not appear in court on Wednesday because they are still nursing their wounds sustained during the operation. Three other suspects will reappear in court on January 27 and have been remanded in Police custody.
The Management of Koala has redeemed its promise of buying him a new car while he is also expected to receive a house from President John Mahama.
The MP for Ablekuma South has a reservation about the compensation, although he feels the driver deserves some kind of recognition.
“I join in congratulating the daring driver but believe there is an element of overkill with regards to his compensation,” the former Information Minister said in a Facebook post.
Below is his full post on the subject:
“The second event which also caught the headlines, was the "case of the heroic taxi driver". The media is all agog with the taxi driver who foiled an armed robbery by using his vehicle as a battering ram to push the miscreants off their motorbike as they tried to escape the crime scene. Plaudits to the taxi driver came from far and near, former President Rawlings, Vice President Amissah Arthur and Koala, the company whose employee was attacked all got in on the act in lauding the newly minted hero. I read in the papers that he has been rewarded with a new car from the aforementioned company. Our President has also promised him a house. Great largesse eh! Some amateur comedians in our midst are warning of a possible avalanche of crime fighting by taxi drivers in the hope of reaping such rewards. I join in congratulating the daring driver but believe there is an element of overkill with regards to his compensation.”

“Bird brains” did not understand my question to the president – Nana Aba
TV Personality Nana Aba Anamoah has taken a swipe at persons attacking her for asking President Mahama ‘what keeps him awake’.
The former TV3 presenter, who sought to find out what the president would describe as the biggest headache as president and how he manages to ease pressure, has come under numerous criticisms from a section of the public who claim she asked a "stupid" question.
“What do you do to keep the pressure from yourself to concentrate on what is important to you and what is important keeps you awake at night,” she asked.
Reacting to the people who have taken a dislike to her question, the devout Manchester United fan said their “bird brains” would not allow them get the import of her question.

Give me the chance to change Ghana – Akufo Addo tells Ghanaians -
The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is appealing to the people of Ghana to believe in him by giving him the mandate on November 7 to govern Ghana.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo made the appeal when he donated some bags of cement to victims of an explosion at Paebo, in the Eastern Region, Wednesday.
“I am pleading with you; help me this time, this is my third time. Not only the people here but Ghanaians in general-believe in me and give me a chance to change this nation,” he appealed.
More than 2,000 residents have been rendered homeless following a blast which occurred at a former quarry site in the Eastern Region on 24th December, 2015. Three people have been reported dead following the incident.
The acting IGP, John Kudalor, the Deputy Interior Minister James Agalga, accompanied by the Eastern Regional Minister, Antwi Boasiako Sekyere were in the area to sympathize with the victims.
NADMO has donated items worth, GH Ȼ 120,000.00 to the victims after the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annor Dompreh petitioned the President to come to the aid of displaced victims.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, he wasn’t around when the incident happened.
“I was told about it and so I decided to come and see for myself what happened here and to sympathize with you and to help with the rebuilding of facilities in the community,” he told the residents.
He donated about 250 bags of cement, 400 alluminium roofing sheets to help them rebuild their houses.
The Flagbearer also assured residents that he will restore Ghana’s crushing economy and establish a ‘Zongo Development Fund’.
“If God helps me to become President of Ghana, I will establish the Zongo Development Fund as I stated in my 2012 campaign so that in case of incidents like this, victims can benefit,” he stated.
Nana Addo further appealed to the residents to retain the current MP, Frank Annor Dompreh to continue the good works he has started in the constituency.
