The Founder and General Overseer of Leaders Light International Church in the Eastern Region, Apostle Dr. Samuel Dadzie has stated that, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. James Oppong Boanuh has in advance sacked himself from his post as Ghana’s IGP through the unfortunate statement he made about the continuous robberies, attacks, and killings of the police officers who guides bullion vans.

He described the IGP’s statement “there is crime in every part of the world a part from Heaven” as very unfortunate since leaders are not meant to such talks.

Apostle Dr. Dadzie added, should something happens, words of motivation and encouragement are said to beareaved families to console them to have faith in the police service that they are there for protection.

“But if we take it that way, then there is no need of employing police officers to protect us” he opined.

Apostle Dr. Dadzie who told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in an interview stressed that, if we are not in heaven where there is no crime, then Ghanaians should take their security into their own hands because IGP is indirectly telling us they can’t protect us anymore.

He again noted that per where things are getting to; Ghanains have to pray for God’s protection rather than relying on human being for protection since the Bible even says; ‘curse be onto those who put their faith or trust in men’.

The Eastern Regional Deputy Nasara Coordinator for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Musah Adamu Raha is asking the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for National Identification Authority (NIA), Prof. Kenneth Agyeman Attafuah as matter of urgency to come out publicly to retract his “Political Neutrality” statement and apologise to NPP youth or face their wrath.

This according to him, during the 2020 general elections, the NPP youth did a fantastic work to ensure the party retained in power, and noted that it is through their hard work that made Prof. Attafuah to grabbed the NIA position as the CEO.

It can be recalled that, the NIA boss granted an interview on one of the radio stations in Ghana about their new recruitment, stating that, the recruitment will based on the Political Neutrality and this statement didn’t go down well with most of the NPP members.

“So if you’re recruiting new workers at your work place why don’t you recruits our youth who sacrificed their lives for the party of which you’re benefiting from rather than telling us you’re there to ensure a political neutrality” he said.

“The NPP youth worked tirelessly for the party to win power both 2016 and 2020 Ghana’s general elections. Therefore they also deserved to get job appointment at the NIA”.

Musah Raha indicated that due to former Prez John Mahama’s IMF conditionalities they couldn’t employed more workers into the public sectors which has led to a lot of unemployed graduates.

“But thanks to Prez Nana Addo who came to power to absorbed most of these graduates into our education, health, and other sectors to reduced the country’s unemployment rate”.

He told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in interview, adding that, it will be better for Prof. Kenneth Agyeman Attafuah to immediately retract his earlier comment before the NPP youth descend their anger at him.

He continue that when NDC was in power for 8yrs they did it strictly partisan to employ and work with only party members. But noted that, with God’s will that led things to turn around in their favour, they would also give job appointments to only the NPP youth to work at the NIA and get something for their families because they are also a Ghanaians.

“What worsened the case is that; he said Mr. Prez ordered him to ensure the political neutrality because that’s how the public service work is being done”.

Adamu Raha added, former Prez John A. Kufuor began the NIA work when Prof. Kenneth Attafuah became the CEO before he got sacked when NDC came to power from 2009 to 2016 before got reappointed when NPP came into power.

“If the political neutrality works in Ghana why didn’t he kept at his post by NDC to continue his work as NIA boss. We are telling him [Prof. Agyeman Attafuah] to rescind that statement and come again other than that we won’t forgive him to go scott free”.

Bono-Ahafo radio station owners must sit up, they need to brand their stations as well as their workers well to have peace of mind to work.

Most of these presenters and workers wake up as early as 4 am while others close from work at midnight. As a result of bad treatment by owners and managers it has resulted in them into series of borrowing, they owned almost all the well to do people in their vicinity.

It’s very disturbing to see how radio presenters and workers are in this region are suffering, an insufficient allowance at the end of the month others nothing at all.

Most of the guys are workaholics while others have the job at their heart as a result owner and management have taken advantage of their weaknesses and cheating them, forgetting they are the people who have to make the station stands on its feet but are not treated well.

Owners and managers looked down upon their workers, they can improve the working conditions of their employees and properly negotiate with them on their welfare.

The owners give less respect to the guys and think of the money for his family alone, the workers should go and chew gravels with their families.

Most of these great radio presenters that you hear their voice on the radio stations in these regions received less salary at the end of the month, sometimes they hardly get their salaries at the end of the month, sometimes three months or thereabout.

According to the guys I have spoken with they get as low as ghc100 the highest pay is less than ghc1,000 others nothing.

According to my investigation, some of the workers have been on probation for more than three years and over.

These three regions, Bono, Bono East and Ahafo have produced several better presenters in the country when they go to work in another region.

An extensive number of radio presenters known in the industry in the country passed through these regions.

I’m using this platform to confide in them to equally pay their workers well and properly brand the media practitioners in the regions.
