NPP, CPP RUBBISH PRESIDENT MILLS CLAIMS THAT NDC WILL STAY FOR THE NEXT 16 YEARS
The shadow member of the Convention Peoples Party in charge of Political affairs, Ekow Duncan has rubbished the President claim that the NDC will stay in power for the next 16 years.
According to him, the President and his cabinet have failed the country which placed high hopes in them.
He says the current unemployment situation and the lack of direction exhibited by the government is enough for the NDC to be voted out of the government in 2012.
President Mills on his tour in the Upper East Region says judging from the good work of his government, Ghanaians would give him another four years after his first tenure of office comes to an end in 2012, and then give the next NDC presidential candidate, who would take over from him, another eight years.
But Ekow Duncan explains that Ghanaians are the finally judges on which party to stay in power. He notes that Ghanaians are rather waiting for the CPP to win power in 2012 so that their dreams will be achieved.
Meanwhile, the national Youth Organiser of the NPP, Anthony Kabo says curse will be-head on the nation if the NDC rules the country ever in the Political history.
He says the President has failed to fulfill his promise especially the Savannah accelerated development which he promises the people in the North.
Anthony Kabo explains that the works of President Mills will determine whether he win power or not.
He advise President Mills to focus on reducing schools under trees rather unnecessary propaganda.

LOW NUMBER OF TRUCKS HIT TEMA PORT
The president of the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF), Carlos Kwabena Ahenkra says the country is under stock with trucks at the Harbour.
He explains that there are has been an unprecedented low number of trucks which has made it very expensive for customers to convey their goods from the harbour to their warehouses.
Carlos Ahenkra stated due to the high amount of vehicle tax most truck owners have registered their trucks in neigbouring countries thereby operating in landlocks countries.
According to him, he personally has more than 100 containers at the harbour but because there are no trucks, he is unable to offload it goods.
Carlos Ahenkra says truck drivers charge about GH600 per container from the harbour to Accra central.
He states that if nothing is done to solve the problem, the harbour will be choked with goods without trucks to offload them.
He therefore urge government to reduce the vehicle tax to allow more trucks to operate at the harbour.

Transport Minister urges Tema Port authorities to reduce frustration at Harbour
The Transport Minister, Alhaji Collins Dauda has called on the authorities of the Ghana Port and Harbours Authority (GPHA) to improve their services to attract more clients and become the premier business destination in the sub region.
According to the Minister, unnecessary frustration and delays are driving people and businesses away from the Harbour and has called for a change in the attitude of all workers.

He made the statements during his maiden visit to the Tema Harbour as the new Transport Minister. nHe disclosed that the main purpose of his visit was to identify solutions to the challenges confronting the sector.
The Director of Port at the Ghana Port and Harbours Authority, Engineer Ray Anamoo said plans are far advanced to extend the current capacity of the Harbour towards the Sakumono Basin explaining that they will reclaim portions of the sea that will enable them add more container vessels at the Port.

CDD SUPPORTS CALL FOR SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT TO BE AN MP
A Senior Fellow at the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD), Paul Mensah Abrampa says the proposal for Members of Parliament to select one of the elected MPs as Speaker of Parliament is laudable.
He says the current arrangement allows for executive manipulation that makes Parliament feeble.
According to him, this new arrangement will make the separation of powers more effective.
Mr. Abrampa was speaking with Adom News on the proposal by Minority Leader Mr. Osei-Mensah Bonsu that Ghana's Parliament would have gained the needed strength if MPs are allowed to select one of their own as Speaker.
Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu suggested that constituting Parliament and choosing the Speaker should be the sole responsibility of the House and not the Executive arm of Government
He stated that it is only Ghana and one other country that uses a system where the Speaker of Parliament is selected by the executive from outside Parliament.
Mr. Paul Mensah Abrampa tells Adom News even though the current system has not given Parliament any challenges, it will be important to make good changes to strength the separation of powers stipulated in the 1992 Constitution.
End.
