The Founder and Leader of Leaders Light International Church in Osabene in the Akuapem North Municipal Assembly of Eastern Region, Apostle Dr. Samuel Dadzie says, Ghanain parliamentarians shouldn’t waste their precious time to discuss the LGBTQI+ Bill whether to implement it to become law or not.

This, according to the Man of God it’s unnecessary to discussion such matter.

“Ghanaians expect Parliamentarians/ Parliament to address to the unemployment rate issues, challenges confronting health, education and roads sector and find solutions to them not LGBTQI+ that wouldn’t bring any development to this country” he said.

Apostle Dr. Dadzie adds, he don’t believe Parliament would pass bill like LGBTQI+ to become law to allow same sex marriage in Ghana, indicating that no matter what it will be quashed away, since Prez Akufo-Addo has made it clear that not under his watch would he allow such inhuman behavior to occurred.

He told kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in an interview during a Sunday church service, stressing that what is ‘illegal is illegal’ as it is abomination before God.

“The LGBTQI+ law that is coming would determine whether we would practice same sex marriage or not. If no ,then the security agencies would enforce the law for everybody to comply with it” he continue.

The Board Chairman for Akro-Farm in the Akuapem North Municipal Assembly of Eastern Region, Mr. Emmanuel Ntow-Kissiedu in an interview with Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH has revealed that, scarcity of maiz in the Ghanaian market is making poultry farming so difficult for farmers.

He said, they have over 80,000 birds (chicken) in which they feed them at their farm. Feeding 1,000 birds(chicken) is not easy and how much more feeding over 80,000 birds imagine the cost involve is huge amount of money.

“Meanwhile we purchase this maize from the farmers in the country. The most painful aspect of it is that; offlate when the farmers harvested their maize they sell them to Burkinabés for France CFA. Because their currency is heavier than ours”.

Mr. Ntow-Kissiedu added, sometimes they have to travelled to Tumu in the Upper West Region before they get access to maize for their birds which is very challenging.

He continued indicating that before the bird flu hit some part or the country, they’ve already put measures in place to protect their birds.

“Because our birds are many and is huge amount of money. So we can’t wait for the flu to kill them before we find solution to it” he said.

However, Mr. Ntow-Kissiedu stressed, everything being equal, they are looking to 2025 to see that the birds (chickens) that would be laying eggs would be amounted to the total number of 1 million.

Furthermore, the founder of Akro-Farm, Dr. Benson Opoku appealed to Prez Akufo-Addo to help them solve the maize menace that is confronting poultry farmers in the country.

He hinted, his poultry farm is under the 1D1F initiative by the NPP gov’t led by H. E. Prez Nana Addo. Stating that they are grateful to Exim Bank for their support.

Dr. Opoku again pleads with Prez Akufo-Addo to come to their aid because they want to expand their farm to create more jobs for the youth within the municipality to help reduce the unemployment rate in the country.

Darlas Ampomah William noted that the rational behind the programme is to help their work in various constituencies, hence decided to enhances their communication skills before the 2024 general elections approaches.

“Because we want things be easy for them on how to respond to issues when they are communicating for the party either on Radio, TV or even in their various communities in the constituency where they find themselves.

Hon. Ampomah William adds, everybody knows that in 2024 NDC will pronounced victorious and victory also comes with hardworking that is why they embarked on such workshop for their branch communicators to communicate on issues NDC gov’t have achieved in their various counstituencies.

However, Eastern Regional Secretary of NDC, Hon. Kudjo Adupko revealed that when NPP came to power, they ceased excavators of all licensed NDC miners who were into small scale mining which shouldn’t be so.

This, he said, since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave them license to mine,when they come to power in 2024, they will retrieve all their ceased excavators including the over 500 missing ones and hand over to them to go back to work because they are also Ghanaians.

Hon. Adupko noted that they are not encouraging illegal mining in the country since everyone knows their activity is causing damage to our water bodies and lands as well. Thus, if they want to make any arrest in connection with illegal mining it should be the Chinese not Ghanaians, because they [Chinese] import chanfann machines into the country and use them for illegal mining ( galamsey) on our water bodies.

Some of the branch communication officers who took part in the workshop expressed their excitement about the programme indicating that, they’ve learnt a lot from the workshop.

The programme was held at Only Believe Senior High and Technical School in Akyem Kukurantumi in the Abuakwa North Municipality.
