The alleged shake-up in the Leadership of the Majority Caucus in the Parliament of Ghana has sparked a whirlwind of speculation and intrigue.
The purported termination of appointment of the Majority Leader, Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah- Bonsu and his colleagues have left many Ghanaians pondering the motives behind this unexpected change.
The alleged lack of consultation with the Leaders has only added fuel to the fire. This has led many to question the source of the leaked information and whether it was a deliberate move to push a hidden agenda or an approved decision by some members of the NPP Leadership.
The perplexing question on the minds of people is: Why the change?
Under Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s leadership, the NPP achieved significant milestones, including the passage of crucial bills, approval of major deals/ agreements, as well as successful budget presentations.
With such accomplishments under their belt, the rationale behind the supposed change remains shrouded in mystery.
Despite the challenging nature of the current Parliament, with the NPP and the NDC holding almost equal numbers, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s leadership has managed to navigate through without any major rejections of bills or deals since 2017.
His nearly 30 years of parliamentary experience speaks volumes, raising further questions about the necessity of this change.
The lack of transparency surrounding the surmised reshuffle has only fueled speculations, with some suggesting that the move may be linked to the alleged failure to support the retention of Ken Ofori-Atta, a family member of the President, as Finance Minister.
This speculation gains traction from calls by some NPP MPs for the President to dismiss Ken Ofori-Atta, a move that was not heeded.
Could this have played a role in the suspected change in Leadership?
Reports of a meeting between the NPP Leadership and the Majority Caucus in Parliament to address the speculated leadership change have only added to the intrigue.
Following the meeting, the Majority Caucus vehemently dismissed reports of an impending leadership change, emphasizing the stability and unity among its members.
This only deepens the mystery surrounding the leaked information and the motives behind it.
As the dust settles, the lingering questions remain unanswered. Who leaked the information about the changes to the media, and what was the motive behind it?
Until the Party provides comprehensive information to address these questions, the air of uncertainty will continue to loom over the apparent reshuffle in the Parliament of Ghana.
The intrigue persists, and until clarity is provided, all eyes will remain fixed on the unfolding developments.

Director of Elections of the National Democratic Congress has described the decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) to hold the 2024 elections on December 7 as victory for consensus building.
The EC, had proposed to change the date of the elections to November, citing need for enough room for possible run-off and the transitional processes before January 7, when the elected President is inaugurated, in accordance with the 1992 Constitution.
But the NDC described the move as poorly timed. It also cited constitutional difficulties EC may face in Parliament if there is no consensus building.
The NDC, which is suspicious of EC’s moves, vowed to use all means possible to block it.
Find Below Dr Omane Boamah’s reaction posted on his social medial handle
Refreshing to know the Electoral Commission has finally agreed to hold the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections on December 07 instead of the proposed November date.
We also welcome the EC’s eventual decision to agree to use indelible ink in the upcoming elections.
These combined decisions represent both a victory for democracy and victory for decent advocacy.
We trust that consensus building at IPAC meetings will be sustained in order to ensure free, fair, transparent, and incident free elections.
In this election, we also hope that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government will avoid the dastardly killing of eight (8) Ghanaians, which blood-stained the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Hopefully, we can all receive the EC’s calendar of activities for the elections soon because December 07 is only 10 clear months away.

The Lordina Foundation and the International School of Accra (ISA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide scholarships for brilliant but needy students.
Under the terms of the MoU, the Lordina Foundation will nominate one deserving student every year for enrolment in either the Cambridge programme (Grade 1 to A level) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (Grades 11 and 12) at the International School of Accra.
The ceremony was witnessed by the Board of Directors of the Lordina Foundation and the Principal and Board Members of ISA, symbolizes mutual commitment to using education as a catalyst for social change.
Board Member of the Lordina Foundation, Pastor Kwame Boateng-Sarpong, in his commendation of the significance of the partnership, described it as a testament to the collective dedication towards fostering positive change.
He also expressed gratitude to ISA for its generosity in offering the scholarship.
Pastor Boateng-Sarpong noted that such acts demonstrate the genuine essence of education as a powerful tool for bringing change in society.
Representing the ISA, Professor Elsie Effah Kauffman shared her personal journey, emphasizing the critical role scholarships played in her education.
She also expressed the institution’s unwavering commitment to providing deserving students with opportunities to pursue their dreams.
Professor Kauffman acknowledged the invaluable support provided by the Lordina Foundation in championing similar causes, making their collaboration a natural progression towards a shared vision of empowerment through education.
The partnership offers a pathway to realize the full potential of bright yet disadvantaged youth, giving them a chance to contribute meaningfully to society.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has dropped plans to eliminate the use of indelible ink in the upcoming 2024 general elections. The EC has also agreed to defer implementation of the proposed change of the date for Presidential and Parliamentary elections to 2028.
The fresh development follows protests by the largest opposition party, the NDC, a strong caution statement from the Catholic Bishops Conference and other stakeholders to the EC, against hasty decisions that could plunge the country into chaos.
Deputy EC Chairman in charge of Corporate Services, Dr. Eric Asare Bossman, who confirmed this in an interview admitted the change of mind followed concerns raised by the public, Parliament, other smaller political parties and civil society members.
“After listening to the discussions, we have heard the concerns of the general public, we have heard the parliamentarians, we have heard the concerns of the NPP and the NDC and civil society members so we have concluded that if by using the ink people will have more trust in the process, why not?”. He explained.
In a related development, the EC has also indicated that the proposed change in the date for general elections from December 7 to November may not be implemented this year.
The Commission, at its recent Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on Monday, January 22, 2024 proposed to move both Presidential and Parliamentary elections to a day in November and designating election days as national holidays.
But that again was rejected by the 2024 flagbearer of the NDC, John Mahama and political analysts citing timing, and difficulty in meeting Constitutional obligations.
Deputy EC Chairman in charge of Corporate Services, Eric Asare Bossman, has since watered-down growing agitations.
“So within the last few months, this is something the commission is going to trigger. That was agreed with the political parties, that in the event we cannot marshal the forces of IPAC to have it in November 2024, the commission should take steps to ensure that in 2028, we are going to have it in November.” he explained.
Salaries of public sector workers have been increased by 23 per cent. This according to an agreement after negotiations on the 2024 Base Pay, takes effect from January 1, this year.
The Controller and Accountant General, Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem, who confirmed this to the Daily Graphic, said his office has subsequently received notice from government to effect payment.
The adjustment however falls far below the initial 45 percent pay rise proposed by Organized labour in November last year.
Deputy Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress, Joshua Ansah, at the beginning of negotiations by the Tripartite Committee said labour is seeking what they consider a fair increase following the significant rise in the prices of goods and services as a result of high inflation.
“The government is very committed to upholding workers interests and has never faulted in paying salaries even when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020,” Mr Kwaning-Bosompem said.
“In other jurisdictions, during the COVID-19 pandemic, salaries were cut and people were laid off, but in Ghana the government kept faith with workers by paying their salaries,” he added.
The Controller and Accountant General noted that economy has started showing signs of full recovery, and there is the need for all stakeholders to collaborate to help stabilize the fiscal environment and macroeconomic environment.
Some members of Organised Labour have confirmed the payment of the 23 per cent increase in base pay by the government.
General Secretary of the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), Mark Dankyira Korankye who spoke to the Daily Graphic said so far, there is no agitation against the compromise from the rank and file of the teacher unions
“As far as our members are concerned they have received their pay based on the new 23 per cent salary adjustment,” he emphasised.
Last year, a 30% increase in base pay ended the temporary payment of Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), between July and December.
My objective is to create a 24-hour economy in Ghana by enabling businesses to operate in three shifts. This will help Ghana become self-sufficient and focus on export-oriented growth.
To achieve this goal, the government and private sector will collaborate. The 24-hour economy is designed to create new employment opportunities, particularly for young people, address unemployment, and enhance living standards in Ghana.
My government will enact new laws to support businesses operating 24/7, including labour laws and tax incentives. To assist companies, there will be favourable tax policies, stimulus packages and financial assistance available for specific industries including agro-processing and manufacturing.
Buying local products and services will be government’s top priority, and measures will be implemented to ensure the smooth operation of the 24-hour economy.
Security, sanitation, cleaning, and environmental protection will be critical components of the 24-hour economy. Financial services at the ports will be operational 24/7, reducing delays and congestion.
The initiative aims to benefit various sectors, create jobs, improve living standards, increase productivity, and provide convenience for citizens.

NDC 2024 Flag Bearer
The current leadership of the Trades Union Congress and by extension, other union leaders have been accused of working against the interest of the suffering Ghanaian workers.
According to Norbert Gborgbortsi, Convener of Aggressive Public Sector Workers, a breakaway group from Organized labour, government has been emboldened to act with impunity because labour, a key component of good governance has treated critical issues with ‘kid gloves.
His reaction follows the decision to suspend the planned nationwide protest against the imposition of 15% VAT on electricity and the economic mess Ghana as been plunged into as a result of an ‘elephant sized’ government, on a spending spree at the pleasure of a government, passing the bill to businesses and the average Ghanaian through imposition of taxes.
Mr Gborgbortsi who was speaking to Kwame Minkah on Power FM’s morning Show, ‘Dwaboase’, could not hide his disappointment when, TUC Secretary General, Dr Yaw Baah, who together with other union leaders, had vowed to send a strong signal to government, first extended the deadline of an ultimatum to government to buy space and later call off the February 13, 2024, protest.
“The TUC has engaged in a lot of decisions that didn’t favour its members. Before TUC takes any decision, they consult Labour Union leadership. When it came to the demand for suspension of VAT on electricity, there were consultations with the labour unions, “so what at all have TUC leaders seen that we haven’t”. Gborgbortsi questioned.
His comments syncs with critical view on social media which suspect the leadership of the TUC which drives organized labour is in bed with government.
Mr Gborbortsi continued … “the leadership of TUC is failing to tell the truth and also how to radically fight for good things for workers and this is now at the lowest ebb. It looks as if the current TUC leaders have hands in the current administration, which makes it difficult for them to take certain radical decisions that will favour its members.
Mr. Gborgbortsi noted with concern, that following the disappointment, it will be very difficult for the TUC and by extension, Organized labour in future, to call on people to demonstrate.
He feared, the development is further weakening the labour front and more breakaways may soon follow.
He said the Aggressive Public Sector Workers union, which fell off with the TUC, may soon be compelled to bus its members to the TUC headquarters to demonstrate against the leadership for taking workers, whose contributions oil the TUC operations, for granted.
Norbert Gborgbortsi re-affirmed the resolve of the Aggressive Public Sector Workers to keep piling pressure on government to act responsibly.

HONOLULU, HI – In a historic move towards global collaboration and economic development, the Independent & Sovereign Nation State of Hawai’i has entered into a comprehensive peace and friendship treaty with the Economic Community of States, Nations, Territories, and Realms of the African Diaspora Sixth Region (ECO-6), the Republic of Vanuatu (represented by the Vanuatu Trade Commission – Ghana), and the World Indigenous Bank.
This landmark treaty, signed on Monday, January 15, 2024, positions the Nation of Hawai’i Central Bank as host to the World Indigenous Bank, marking a new era of economic and spiritual cooperation, and the growing capacity for the Nation of Hawai’i to manage banking and assets.
The peace and friendship agreement encompasses various facets, including trade, investment, tourism, culture, peace, and friendship, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development for all Aboriginal, Indigenous, and Native peoples globally.
Nation of Hawai’i President & Head of State, Pu’uhonua D.B.K. Kanahele emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, “This treaty marks a turning point for our nation and the world. We are committed to building a future grounded in principles of Aloha and the continued pursuit of Independence for the Native Hawaiian people.”
At its core, the treaty stands as an acknowledgment of Indigenous wisdom, cultural, and ancestral honor. It sets forth an ambitious agenda, aiming to establish a framework that covers trade, commerce, tourism, cultural exchange, and socially responsible investments.
A pivotal feature of the treaty is the introduction of the World Indigenous Bank (WIB), a financial institution designed to catalyze sustainable development. At the heart of this financial innovation is the (AKL) LUMI—a global sovereign currency. Underwritten by renewable energy, the LUMI symbolizes a commitment to eco-friendly financial practices, paving the way for sustainable development in Hawai’i and beyond.
The official legal tender of the World Indigenous Bank, the LUMI is underwritten by 100kWh of solar energy and pegged to 0.2592g of gold. The global issuing authority for the LUMI is the African Diaspora Central Bank and the World Indigenous Bank is a licensed sovereign division of ADCB. This financial instrument represents not only a currency but a symbol of hope and collaboration for a sustainable future.
The multilateral agreement, arranged by Nation of Hawai’i Ambassador for Nepal, H.E. Tejendra Sharma Poudel, was signed by H.E. Amb. Prof. Hugh Keku Aryee, Vanuatu Trade Commissioner to Ghana, H.E. John Kealoha Garcia, 2nd Vice President and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce for Nation of Hawai’i, and H.R.M. Rex Semako I & VI King Timothy Elisha McPherson, Chairman of ECO-6 and President of the African Diaspora Central Bank (ADCB).
2nd Vice President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Kealoha Garcia said “The Nation of Hawai’i is strengthening our expanding network within the global aboriginal, indigenous, native communities and is strategically positioned to facilitate commercial trade and sustainable development that is aligned with the restoration of aboriginal culture and climate action.”
Garcia says, “At the local level, the World Indigenous Bank, licensed under the Nation of Hawai’i Central Bank will help the people of Hawai’i achieve our immediate reconciliation goals and strengthen our community in the spirit of Aloha.”
“The Nation of Hawai’i Bank Act, signed and enacted by President Kanahele in 2021, authorizes the establishment of a central bank within the Sovereign Nation of Hawai’i. The integration of partner institutions are essential to the modernizing and growing capacity of our Hawaiian economy.” says Garcia.
Island states are greatly exposed to natural disasters and climate change, making this agreement equally important for the Republic of Vanuatu. Trade in goods and knowledge are at the core of climate action, and small islands must work together in their sustainable efforts. The Vanuatu Trade Commission – Ghana represents a sovereign trading partner of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and is able to leverage resources in ECOWAS to the value-added proposition of development in between Vanuatu and Hawai’i, as well as trade within the Pacific Island region.
Observers from other indigenous nations applauded the signing of the agreement as a landmark achievement. Chief Chasing Horse (Sr.) from the Lakota Nation said, “the Lakota Nation is excited about working with our cousins in Hawai’i. I look forward to trading with them through the World Indigenous Bank. We have already signed a Treaty with ECO-6 and the World Indigenous Bank to bring greater structure to how we work together healing the earth and in honoring our ancestors and the Tree of Life.”
Within Article 66 of the COP 26 Glasgow Climate Pact, the international community emphasizes the important role of indigenous peoples’ culture and knowledge for the achievement of effective action on climate change, and it urges the international community to actively involve indigenous peoples and local communities in designing and implementing climate action.
His Royal Majesty Rex Semako I & VI, Chairman of ECO-6, described the multilateral agreement with ECO-6, Vanuatu and the Nation of Hawai’i as being essential to the fulfillment of the aspirations of global community as it relates to climate action and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
His Royal Majesty stated that “the Global Climate Finance Framework as articulated in Dubai calls for an investment value of $5 – $7 trillion per year in order to green the global economy by 2030. The LUMI is the only financial instrument in the world today that is structured and positioned to achieve such ambitious targets, while simultaneously financing sustainable development and supporting the eradication of global poverty. The African Diaspora Central Bank is positioned
to eradicate poverty and facilitate development within Africa and throughout the Diaspora, while the World Indigenous Bank is positioned to transform and develop indigenous communities around the world.”
His Royal Majesty further stated that “during the past 500 years of foreign captivity and affliction the aboriginal community sheltered and adopted the African Diaspora for which we are eternally grateful. Now in the 21st century, we can work together in a free global economy, mixing modern solutions with ancient traditions, to heal our planet and move beyond the miseries of the past. In this spirit, the World Indigenous Bank in Hawai’i will be an important game changer for everyone.”
