It is reported that the 2012 flag-bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Tuesday told party members at Koforidua, Eastern Region, that they should gear up for what he described as “a serious electoral battle in 2012,” because he believes the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) would like to hold on to power by all means, though all the odds are against them. “We... 

President Atta-Mills’ unannounced visit to the nation’s premier habour was to say the least, completely needless. However, on the flip side, expect his corner men to shout themselves as a mark of high political point scoring and rightly so, they did. Again, we say from the standpoint of the fanatical and gullible but frustrated members of the society who might have fallen victims or angered by... 

Immediately investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas of the New Crusading Guide, showed his exposé of officials of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) ripping off the nation of huge revenue, Finance and Economic Planning Minister, Dr, Kwabena Duffuor, was heard on radio asserting that his outfit will act accordingly on the allegations. Certainly that is what many Ghanaians... 

The call by motorbike operators on government agencies and regulators in the transport sector to officially regularize their operations to use motor bikes for commercial activities cannot pass without a comment. In fact, we on Today were quite surprised when we heard news that over 500 operators of commercial motorbikes popularly known as ‘Okada’ in Nigeria last week Tuesday thronged Parliament... 

Mr. Kwesi Pratt was at his best last week when he confessed that it takes more than personal integrity and good intentions to run a corrupt-free administration and a public service that has a high degree of integrity.  We couldn’t agree with him the more.  So what is he going to do about it? All we heard from the time J. J. Rawlings plucked then Professor J.E.A. Mills from obscurity in his Ivory... 

On the front page of Today newspaper today is a worrying story that indigenes of Nkwanta South District in the Volta region are resorting to prayer camps to seek medicare. The story suggests that instead of the locals visiting hospitals for proper healthcare they rather prefer to seek divine healing at prayer camps. It is not bad for one to seek divine healing at prayer camps. For after all we all... 

Today Newspaper is compelled to re-visit the recent 30% hike in the price of premium petrol by the ruling President John Evans Atta Mills-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration and the government’s entrenched position never to heed numerous calls to reduce the price. We are also tempted to believe that the Mills administration is exhibiting double-standard politics and a spasm of hypocrisy... 

WITH the current state of affairs in the country, we on the Today newspaper are compelled to describe the call by Members of Parliament (MPs) for government to increase their salaries by over 300 per cent as indiscreet, unwarranted and absolute nonsense. TODAY believes that a developing country such as ours with per capita income hovering around 1,300, there is absolutely no justification or whatsoever... 

In recent times, the alarming rate of road accidents and its attendant effects, have compelled journalists, non-governmental organisations, stakeholders in the transport sector and social commentators to revisit the need for us as a nation to be proactive in our quest to prevent carnage on our roads. It is very disquieting to note that most of these accidents occur as a result of human errors- mostly... 

The death of the four kids last week Thursday in Takoradi in the Western region struck many Ghanaians with shock and utter disbelief. Even before that shocking incident about 15 Ghanaians in Nkenkenso in the Ashanti region had lost their lives when two Yutong buses were involved in a head-on-collision. Seriously speaking, the carnage on our roads is getting out of hand and something immediate needs...
