Former Minister of Finance, Dr.

has said Ghana is in a state of disarray due to current happenings in the country.

According to him, the country was in disorder because coupled with the economic hardships it has created, the government is now censoring the media.

The former finance minister, in a statement, shared on his Twitter handle, added that in addition to the difficulties being faced by Ghanaians the government is also keen on implementing the E-Levy which would worsen the plight of the masses.

“Our country is in a state of disarray. From inflation to strike actions and media censorship, we continue to experience dreadful challenges while the gov't is focused on milking more taxes from desperate people. The gov't must sit up,” he wrote.

Ghana captain, Andre Ayew, and officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have been summoned before Parliament to answer questions on the disastrous display of the Black Stars at the just ended 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Ghana failed to win a single match and disappointingly crashed out of the tournament at the group stage.

The Black Stars, who were tasked to end the country’s 40 years trophy drought, suffered a defeat in their group opener against Morocco.

In their second group game, Ghana was held to a 1-1 draw game before losing to debutants, Comoros in their final group game to exit the tournament with just a point.

With Parliamentarians unhappy with the performance of the team, Ayew, together with officials of the GFA will appear before a committee to account for what led to the team’s abysmal showing.

Parliament has set that the committee should sit and begin an extensive inquiry into the matter from February 16, to February 18, 2022.

Reggae dancehall act, Stonebwoy, has advised patrons that Valentine’s Day is not to be celebrated by persons who are underaged.

Chocolate City was built as part of the Chocolate week celebration and many revelers were there to sample the various Cocoa products on display. The ‘Activate’ crooner thrilled patrons with hits from his repertoire.
