DUAMPOMPOM, GHANA —Commuters on the bustling Accra-Kumasi highway faced significant delays today after a low-bed truck carrying a large excavator broke down at Duampompom, near the Anum Apapam junction. The incident, which occurred early this morning, caused a massive traffic jam, stretching for several kilometers in both directions.

Empowering Educators, Strengthening Education:

The GES recognizes the dedication and hard work of its staff and is committed to providing a supportive and transparent process. By working together, the GES and its educators can create a stronger, more efficient educational system for the benefit of all Ghanaian students.

The validation exercise, scheduled for completion by March 14th, 2025, represents a significant step towards enhancing the integrity of the GES database. This initiative will ultimately contribute to a more stable and effective educational environment.

A Foundation for Future Success:

The GES is confident that this collaborative effort will strengthen the foundation of Ghana's education system. By ensuring accurate records and efficient processes, the GES is empowering educators to focus on what they do best: nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
