The state must enforce laws, policies on Children – Lawyer

A Lawyer, Gender activist, and Executive Director of The Ark Foundation Ghana has reminded the state of its obligation to enforce policies and laws intended to protect the rights of children.

She recommended the monitoring of actions that secured the rights of children, properly accounting for progress of work done, both locally and internationally and securing the maximum participation of key actors as key measures to ensure that the safety of children was guaranteed. “It is high time the state took more interest in working with the laws to know their strength rather than revising it. Let us test the laws, not j...

Lack of knowledge on some government’s policies, major challenge to women

Mr Tsonam Cleanse Akpeloo, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), has asked the government to pursue policies that would improve the business environment, reduce the cost of capital and financing, and remove regulatory bottlenecks for growth.    “We expect that Government will continue to bail out troubled businesses and provide stimulus packages to support efforts by businesses to bounce back,” he said.    Mr Akpeloo in his New Year’s message to AGI members said, “As businesses continue to manage the aftermath of Covid-19, we shall continue to engage government to ensure that stimulus plan for larger businesses will be operationalised speedily.”    He urged the government to integrate the interest of the private sector in policy fo...

President Akufo-Addo deserves another term to protect policies

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has within the first term in Government performed creditably better.

A statement signed by Mr Razak Kojo Opoku, Founder and President of the Concern Voters Movement said, it would be unfair  for Ghanaians to fail to vote for President Akufo-Addo and NPP Parliamentary Candidates in the 7th December 2020 elections. It said a vote against President Akufo-Addo and NPP Parliamentary Candidates was  against the Free SHS Policy, Planting for Food and Jobs, NABCO, Free Water, Free Electricity, 307 A...
