More Trouble For Wontumi Over Attack On Mahama’s Daughter
Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako also known as Chairman Wontumi has found himself in trouble over his attack on former president John Dramani Mahama’s daughter, Farida Mahama.
Wontumi had warned John Mahama to quit flaunting his daughter on social media else somebody will catch her and do something to her.
This statement seem not to have gone down well with the Concerned Women Ghana (CWG) who have condemned the “unsavoury and despicable comment”.
The group in a statement has called on authorities in the society to deal with Wontumi.
“We, by this statement, wish to bring to the attention of the President of the Republic of Ghana; H. E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Gender Minister; Honorable Cynthia Morrison, Social services, the National Peace Council and Church leaders, an unfortunate comment made by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako also known as Chairman Wontumi,” it read.
Wontumi has already been reported to the police by the Ashanti regional National Democratic Congress.

CHAIRMAN WONTUMI’S UNHEALTHY COMMENTS MUST BE SANCTIONED _____________________________________
We, by this statement, wish to bring to the attention of the President of the Republic of Ghana; H. E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Gender Minister; Honorable Cynthia Morrison, Social services, the National Peace Council and Church leaders, an unfortunate comment made by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako also known as Chairman Wontumi.
Chairman Wontumi’s anger gun is cocked once again and this time, the target is a mere child.
Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako who was speaking on Kumasi-based radio station Wontumi Radio made very unsavoury and despicable comment about a child who could be considered a minor. His comments are so shameful we do not wish to repeat it. This unfortunate comment should not be passed off as a mere political talk. The impact of Wontumi’s language is just as harmful as committing the act.
As concerned women and citizens, we have a legal obligation to notify authorities of actions that could cause serious damage to the cognitive, social and emotional development of a child. It doesn’t have to take us a long time to find the courage to alert authorities of the unhealthy behaviours of ‘powerful’ politicians.
We are hoping that the aforementioned parties will understand how important their intervention will be.
Meanwhile, anything and everything the authorities can do to bring Wontumi to his knees could make a difference.
Child Protection is everyone’s business!!!!!!
Stay safe, Covid is not gone!
Ciao!

Akuapem Poloo was on Wednesday April 14 convicted on her own plea by the Circuit Court in Accra after pleading guilty to three charges, thus the publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence, namely conduct that in any way undermines another person’s privacy or integrity and engaging in domestic violence that in any way detracts or is likely to detract from another person’s dignity and worth as a human being.
She was sentenced to 90 days on each count but the court said, the sentence must run concurrently, meaning she will only serve a 90-day jail term which is three months.

NPP’s Best Score Is NDC’s Worst In Corruption Fight – Francis-Xavier Sosu
Lawmaker for Madina Constituency, Francis-Xavier Sosu has admonished President Akufo-Addo and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for their failed fight against corruption for the past four years.
His comment comes after the President at a National Consultative Diaglogue on Small-Scale Mining indicated that he is determined to “enforce the laws on illegal mining no matter the subject, high or low,”; however, not based on hearsay.
But Mr Sosu in his critique, said “no one is saying that the President should convict persons based on hearsay or lack of evidence.” According to him, those words only “demonstrate the seemingly lack of interest by President Akufo Addo to crack the whip on corruption in his Administration.”
“Between 2017 and 2020, Ghana obtained an average score of 41.25 following scores of 40 for 2017, 41 for 2018, on the Corruption Perception Index as compared to an average score of 46 between 2013 and 2016. The 2020 report released by Transparency International saw the country score 43 points out of a possible 100, a two-point increase from 2019’s 41 points.
“This is compared to the 2016 CPI score of 43, 47 for 2015, 48 for 2014, 46 for 2013, and 45 for 2012. This shows that the NPP’s best score of 43 on the CPI is equivalent to the NDC’s worst score of 43,” the MP critiqued.

Cardi B Reacts To Akuapem Poloo’s Jail Sentence; Says It’s A Bit Harsh
American rapper, Cardi B has reacted to the 90-day jail sentence of his socialite friend, Akuapem Poloo.
Responding to a social media post which requested her opinion on the jail term, Cardi B who became fond of Akuapem Poloo in 2019 after she twerked and rolled on the floor for her at the Kempenski hotel noted that the sentence was a bit harsh and could have rather been handed a community service.
“I’ve seen a lot of Americans do photoshoots like that. Even though it’s not my style, I don’t think she was going for sexual; more going the natural idea. I think jail is a bit harsh. Maybe social media probation or community service.”
Akuapem Poloo was on Wednesday April 14 convicted on her own plea by the Circuit Court in Accra after pleading guilty to three charges, thus the publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence, namely conduct that in any way undermines another person’s privacy or integrity and engaging in domestic violence that in any way detracts or is likely to detract from another person’s dignity and worth as a human being.
She was sentenced to 90 days on each count but the court said, the sentence must run concurrently, meaning she will only serve a 90-day jail term which is three months.
