In the wake of the cocoa farmers' haircut and the gold sales controversy at the Bank of Ghana, where are the loud-mouthed CSOs and clergy? Are they enjoying life under the Mahama government? Weren't these the same people who hounded the Akufo-Addo government? What has happened to their voices? - Sam Pyne, Former KMA Boss

NDC should dare not attribute its mismanagement of the economy to the US-Israeli-Iran conflict because it will never be accepted.

ONE-ON-ONE with Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu (Former Majority Leader & Former Suame MP): “I was surprised by Kennedy Agyapong's 37% performance in the 2023 primary. He benefited from the country's discontent at the time, and I think he will record lower votes this time.”

NDC is haphazardly collapsing buildings in my constituency for road construction without any notice. Neither I nor the residents were informed, and this is inhumane. - Isaac Boamah Nyarko, MP for Effia.
