Chinese peoples are very smart... they will come to your country and destroy your land and take all the resources of the land

 

 Chinese peoples are very smart... they will come to your country and destroy your land and take all the resources of the land... and send them to their country to develop their nation by building good houses, constructing good roads and bridges in their country, they make sure their water bodies are neat for tourist attractions ...

Enough is enough...




Now all our waterbodies are destroyed by them (CHINESE) and the SMALL CHIEFS IN THE PALACE and those in the villages...

High Court orders Achimota School to admit Rasta student, Tyrone Marhguy



The Human Rights Court 1 Division of the High Court in Accra, has ordered Achimota School to admit Tyrone Marhguy, the dreadlock-wearing Rastafarian boy into the school.


The Court in the same spirit directed Achimota School to also admit Oheneba Nkrabea, another Rastafarian student into the school.

The saga has been ongoing since March 19, 2021, during which the two students have not been able to start academic work with their colleagues.

W/R: Operation Halt II destroys about 20 excavators, several other equipment

 

 

Operation Halt II takes anti galamsey fight to Western Region; destroys about 20 excavators


Operation Halt II has begun its Western Region operation with a bang

- It destroyed several excavators and other illegal mining equipment along Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers

- It comes a day after President Akufo-Addo declared his full support for the operation

Operation Halt II has destroyed several excavators along the Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers in the Western Region.

Made of three units of the Ghana Armed Forces—the 2nd and 5th Infantry Battalions and the 64th Infantry Regiment, Operation Halt II began its Western Region operation on Thursday, May 27, 2021.

The team is being supported by personnel drawn from the Ghana navy, air force, Southern Command, 48th Engineers’ Regiment, and the Support Service.

The operation is expected to end on Saturday 29 May.

According to a report sighted on Asaaseradio.com, the team destroyed two washing machines and floating platforms on the Bonusu River, and 18 excavators along the Rivers Ankobra and Bonsa.

“Ten changfans and two water pumping machines sited along the Bonsa River were also destroyed,” the outlet reported citing a source close to the operation.

“The Operation Halt II team, led by Lieutenant Colonel Prince Tandoh, located and destroyed one excavator, 100 changfan machines, 20 water pumping machines, four motorbikes, and other illegal mining equipment on a site close to the Ankobra River,” the source added.

Operation Halt II’s latest invasion of illegal mining sites in the Western Region comes a day after President Akufo-Addo endorsed the burning of excavators and other equipment confiscated at these mining sites.

“The presence of ‘changfans’ in water bodies is illegal, as is the unlawful use of excavators in protected forest zones,” President Akufo-Addo said on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, during the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of the first phase of the “Law Village”.

“The devastation caused by this equipment is nothing short of evil and we should not compromise in our efforts to protect our environment, forest reserves, and water bodies.”

In other news, uneasy tension is brewing at Amanase, a community near Suhum along the Accra-Kumasi highway.

News reaching  adansiweb.xyz indicates that some irate youth of the community have blocked the highway in protest of reckless driving after a speeding vehicle crushed an elderly man to death.

They burnt tyres during the spontaneous protest, causing massive vehicular traffic.

According to a report sighted on Starrfm.com.gh, the speeding vehicle crushed the man to death whilst he was crossing the road at about 7:30 pm.

The “man’s mortal remain was shredded and littered on the road,” the report noted.

The irate youth created unbearable gridlock on the highway for close to an hour until the arrival of armed police to the scene.

They reportedly had to resort to the firing of warning shots to disperse the raging youth and clear the road to traffic.

HAS OBUASI BOETE PARK BEEN SEIZED OR MANHANDLED

 


 

Obuasi which is situated In the Ashanti region has been one of the breed of footballers for decades now.

The likes of John Mensah, Jonathan Mensah, Inkoom are some of the product of Obuasi.

Football in Obuasi is equivalent to fishing at the coastal areas.

For the past decades, a suburb of Obuasi which is Boete has seen massive contribution to the football family in Ghanaian 1st Division and premiere league.

Tijani Joshua(Aduana), Adono Godfred (Bechem), Kanyiri Samad (Wa suntaa), Nurideen Abdulai (Former Wa Allstars), Kuzuma Ebenezer (Former Dreams FC) ,Kuzuma Emmanuel (Former inter allies) many to mention but few...

Most of the youth depend on the colts and Division 3 sides.

But for the past 3 years what Boete used to produce which was football has decreased to 10% and 90% of drug addiction.

This as a result of good gone wrong. The MP for Obuasi East Hon. Dr. Boakye Yiadom did a great but bad call. He reconstructed Boete park but took years to complete leaving the youth to wander in bad and maintained attitude.

But nothing good came out of it.

From sources, Hon. Dr Boakye Yiadom keeps the field keys and opens it anytime he feels like.

Currently there's no team in Boete out of the two (Newcastle and Monaco) playing the colts league on the same field due to lack of training grounds when the one at their disposal is been worshipped.

The youth can't train

There are no colts teams again due to this act.

Was he helping secure better football or he was helping to destroy talent.

The youth of Obuasi Boete are fedup and needs the field for what the love doing.

Adansihene denies allegations he is neck-deep in galamsey

 

 


Adansiman Progressive Association (APA), a pro-development group aimed at driving home infrastructure for the well-being of locals within the Adansi enclave, has accused the Paramount Chief of involvement in galamsey.

The group says its claims are pivoted on the current state of water bodies in Adansi as it explains the major river that serves as the only source of water for people of Adansi, River Gyemi, has now been destroyed.

This situation, the group fears, could lead to a looming acute water crisis.

Speaking on Akoma FM‘s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma on Thursday, May 20, Organiser for APA Akwasi Aboagye told host of the show that “our investigation and series of checks have revealed that Adansimanhene Opegya Kotwere Bonsrah Afiyie II is neck-deep in the very menace Otumfuo and President Nana Akufo-Addo have been preaching against”.

He further indicated that “on March 22, a team of police together with section of the Adansi Progressive Association arrested some artisans at a mining site”.

“After the arrest, the miners alleged that the site they are working belongs to Adansimanhene. Aside that incident, we have factual proof that point fingers at the Omanhene for his involvement in galamsey. So we will call on the Overlord of Ashanti Kingdom Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to swiftly intervene and save the water bodies in Adansi and its adjoining communities.”

Meanwhile, Adansimanhene Opegya Kotwere Bonsrah Afiyie II has refuted the allegations.

He made this clear at a press conference at the his palace in Fomena.

Public interest advocate Frank Aboagye Danyansah, who is also a native of Adansi, has also shot down the allegations.

He goes on to allege that the convener of APA, Akwasi Aboagye, is alien and should not be taken seriously.

Mr Danyansah explained that “I am not sure this so-called Akwasi Aboagye is a true native of Adansi because he won’t have tarnished the image of his paramount chief. Again, he is even an embattled member of the Adansi Progressive Association because the executives have expelled him on grounds of extortion and impersonation, a man without credibility. Why must you even give him such a big platform to perpetrate lies?” he quizzed.

Mr Aboagye Danyansah urged the public to disregard the palpable lies of Akwasi Aboagye and treat it with the contempt it deserves because Adansimanhene is a true patriot who wouldn’t go against the orders of Asantehene and the president.

Galamsey fight should be within the law – Yao Graham

 


 Coordinator of the Third World Network (TWN) Dr. Yao Graham, has questioned government on the rules of engagement in the crusade against illegal small-scale mining(galamsey), saying it is not an armed conflict in the way that the rules of engagement in war is for the soldiers to kill anyone they see on site.

He said this in an interview with Komla Adom on the Mid Day News on TV3, Thursday, May 20.

Dr. Graham was speaking on the back of the statement by the Minister of Defence that the safety of the perpetrators of illegal small-scale mining cannot be guaranteed in their engagement with the Task Force mandated to fight the canker in the country. And also the destruction of excavators seized on site by the security officials involved in the crusade against illegal small-scale mining.

He said “the campaign against galamsey is not an armed conflict in the way that the country’s border is being threatened and therefore the rules of engagement that the soldiers should operate under are to kill any enemy force that is crossing the boundary. So one of the questions that arises for me, in relation to the minister’s pronouncement that people’s safety cannot be guaranteed is, what are the rules of engagement? Is it that the military are empowered to shoot anybody they see on site at night because there is a fear that the people are armed? Do we know if they are armed?

“These are all questions that people should be interested in, all of us are interested in the security and safety of our water bodies. I think it is very, very important that we keep this thing within the parameters of the law so the approach to dealing with galamsey can be differentiated from how lynch mobs operate”.

When asked if according to the interpretation of the law of the Minerals and Mining(Amendment Act 2020) LI 2404, anybody can challenge the Ministries of Lands and Forestry and Defence in court for unlawful destruction of properties, he responded that “the best interpretation of the law routinely is the common sense interpretation, so there is no ambiguity in this provision. And I think the first people with the responsibility to uphold the constitution and the law are the officers of the republic, ministers, public servants, public employees of various organizations, including the military”.

According to his assessment of the operation to end the activities of illegal small-scale mining, he applauded the hierarchy of priorities that has been created in the operational apparatus. However, he said “beyond sending the troops in to clear the water bodies, we need to have a sustainable approach to keep the water bodies clean because the troops will not be there always, therefore how do we build a constituency based on consensus? The pronouncement made by the Small Scale Miners Association complaining about basically a misdirected application of force points to some of the challenges to be addressed”.
