Two Chinese nationals in National Security cells over power theft

Published

on

The Revenue Protection Taskforce of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) on Thursday, April 27 uncovered an underground illegal connection at Fenice Metal Technology in the Tema region, and the managers, two Chinese nationals, have been detained.

The taskforce went into the company with personnel from the National Security after the anomalies were uncovered through a tip-off by an informant to the MD of ECG, Samuel Dubik Mahama.

The Revenue Protection and Technical investigation manager, Ishmael Oku, revealed this exclusively to Citi News.

According to him, “The facility had its separate transformer but managed to bypass the system through an underground cable to consume power without paying. Two-thirds of the power consumed goes directly without metering.” The company is into the production of electrical cables.

The ECG took a break from its national revenue mobilization exercise on April 20, 2023, to review its operations and revenue targets.

The one-month exercise uncovered several illegalities, fake meters, and recovered huge sums of debts owed to the company.

But, the revenue protection taskforce is still on the ground, checking for illegalities that are contributing to the company’s system losses.

“The culprits will be prosecuted, and the facility surcharged to recoup the power consumed over the period,” Ishmael Oku added.

“The company has been disconnected from the national grid and served illegal connection notice to report at the ECG office,” Ishmael said.

Meanwhile, managers of Hillburi Hotel at Aburi are expected in court on Friday over similar crimes.

I saw his face and he was Jubilating Powerful Prophet Reveals Who He Saw Winning The Election

Published

on

As Ghana prepares for its upcoming 2024 elections, President Nana Akufo-Addo has issued a cautionary message to religious leaders regarding the increasing number of conflicting prophecies surrounding the electoral process. This warning comes at a time when prophetic support for various candidates is gaining visibility, notably for former President John Mahama.

One of the most prominent voices in this discourse is Prophet Clement, a respected spiritual leader known for his influential role in the community. Recently, Prophet Clement has made headlines by publicly declaring that he has received divine revelations affirming Mahama’s victory in the presidential race. He claims to have experienced visions of Mahama triumphing on ten distinct occasions.

In a recent public address, Prophet Clement shared his compelling visions, stating, “I have seen this several times. I saw Mahama’s face being painted with the Ghana map, and he was jubilating.” This vivid imagery has sparked discussions among citizens and political analysts alike, raising questions about the influence of spiritual insight on the electoral process.

The prophet has expressed a sense of divine mandate to pray for Mahama’s success and has indicated his readiness to support any candidate believed to be chosen by God. This endorsement comes at a critical juncture as President Akufo-Addo prepares to step down after two terms in office, following Ghanaian law that limits presidents to a maximum of two terms. This transition sets the stage for a highly competitive election as various candidates position themselves to fill the leadership void.

With the election date drawing near, anticipation is mounting across the nation. Ghanaians are encouraged to actively engage in political conversations that will shape the future of their country. As events unfold, the nation stands at a crossroads, and the outcomes of this electoral process are poised to influence Ghana’s political trajectory for years to come.

President Akufo-Addo’s warning serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between faith and politics in Ghana, urging both clergy and the public to approach the forthcoming elections with discernment and responsibility.

As prophetic backing for Mahama intensifies, many Ghanaians are closely monitoring the political landscape. The discussions surrounding Prophet Clement’s predictions have ignited both interest and debate within the electorate. Citizens are left to ponder the implications of these prophecies: Will Mahama’s candidacy align with the predictions of a certain victory, or could the election result in a surprising shift, bringing a different leader to the forefront?

Published

Black Stars full-back Gideon Mensah has shared details about a potential transfer to FC Barcelona that fell through five years ago due to a breach of confidentiality. In 2019, while Mensah was with Red Bull Salzburg, he was offered a loan move to Barcelona as a backup for Jordi Alba.

However, news of the deal leaked, breaking the confidentiality agreement and ultimately leading to the transfer’s collapse a missed opportunity that Mensah recalls as deeply disappointing.Reflecting on the moment, Mensah said, “I couldn’t resist thinking about the next flight to Spain.

The next day, I saw the news everywhere in Ghana that Barcelona wanted me. So, I called my agent, asking him what happened to keeping it quiet.” His agent was also unaware of how the information got out, which led to the transfer unraveling.

Today, Mensah plays for French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre and has earned nearly 30 caps with the Ghanaian national team, the Black Stars.

Election 2024: ‘Exercise your right to vote for change

Published

on

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged Ghanaians to actively participate in the upcoming elections, dismissing the notion of abstaining due to unfulfilled promises by past leaders, particularly from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Speaking to residents of Akwasease in the Ahafo Ano North Constituency in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, November 5, Asiedu Nketiah emphasised that abstaining from voting undermines democracy and diminishes the chance for meaningful change.

He encouraged the community to remain hopeful, stressing the importance of holding leaders accountable through their participation in the December elections.

“It beats my understanding when I hear people say, they won’t vote just because a government did not fulfil its promises. It may be true that they couldn’t fulfill their promises but that should not limit you from voting.

“If you want to hold them accountable, not voting isn’t the answer. They know you helped put them in power, so they understand that you could vote against them next time. But if you choose not to vote, it gives them an advantage.

“It is the time for us to unite as one people and vote them out. They have been bad at governance,” he stated.
