Dear Lord,
On this Raining Morning, I pray for all those who have No Shelter, Inadequate Shelter or Homeless, please Protect Them all.
Protect Those in Flood prone zones, With Leak or Cracks or shaky buildings and those whose homes are filling up right now.
Please protect those driving in the rains, those working during these rains, those who have stepped out into this rain.
Protect all who are stuck in the flood waters, unable to get cars or lost valuables in these rains.
IJN
Amen🙏🏾
Everybody is talking about the destruction at Mallam Junction…
But beyond the flooding, what is the real cause?
BuzstopBoys is taking a deeper look into the root of the problem: blocked drains, poor waste disposal, choked waterways, and years of neglect.
This flooding is not just caused by rain; it is worsened by human activities and poor drainage systems.
If we only react after the damage is done, the cycle will continue.
The solution starts with a proactive approach: clearing drains, proper sanitation, responsible waste disposal, and long-term planning.
Because preventing floods is better than surviving them.
BuzstopBoys is not just showing the destruction but uncovering the cause to inspire lasting change.
🎉 CONGRATULATIONS!
AUGUSTINE OKRAH

Ghanaian driver Agyarko Richard, who was captured in a widely circulated video driving a Toyota Voxy recklessly along the Kumasi–Accra highway and endangering other road users, has been convicted by the La Motor Court after pleading guilty to multiple traffic offences.
Upon his own plea, the court sentenced him to two months’ imprisonment with hard labour and imposed a fine of 260 penalty units, equivalent to GH¢3,120.00.
In default of payment of the fine, he is to serve an additional two weeks’ imprisonment in hard labour.

A final-year student of the University of Ghana from Kumasi, Nana Agyeman Opoku Andrew, has expressed frustration after allegedly being evicted from his room at the Pentagon Hall, with his belongings thrown out despite reportedly paying nearly GHS 8,000 for a four-in-a-room accommodation.
The data the Ministry of Roads and Highways provided to The Fourth Estate on the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu - Nkwanta road was GHS 804 million. The same figure was captured on the Ministry’s website.
But the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, posted on social media that the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu- Nkwanta road was rather GHS 683 million (see first frame). He said our figure was a misinformation and called on the public to disregard it.
Incidentally, when President Mahama directed the Ministry to respond to our investigations, the Ministry deleted its data on the website.
Now the data has been restored and guess what, the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu and Nkwanta road is back to GHS 804 million (second frame), the same figure the Minister said was a misinformation.
The inconsistency is staggering.
Some things you only understand looking back.
Story time.
1. When I was a law student studying French Civil law in Morocco, I was a young man deep in love with international law when I first encountered James Crawford’s work. The Australian jurist.
2. I did not just admire him. I studied him the way young lawyers study people they secretly hope to become. His precision. His moral seriousness. The way he could hold enormous complexity and still find the clean line through it. To be fair, my own politics of law was not at the time sufficiently decolonized. But still.
3. Anyway, years later, I was at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Assistant Director of the Legal Bureau, and guess what? Australia came knocking on Ghana’s door asking for our support to put Crawford on the International Court of Justice, there was a part of me that wanted to say yes before the sentence was finished.
4. But you see at the time Ghana had put Alan Kyeremanten forward for WTO Director-General. And that changed everything.
5. The Director of Legal asked me for a memo. I sat down and wrote it honestly. Crawford was exceptional. He would probably win regardless. But Ghana had a son in a race or our own, and our vote was not ours to give away cheaply.
6. My recommendation was simple: we write back to the Australians, tell them we will support Crawford, only if they support Alan in return.
7. Ghana first. Not out of sentiment. Out of conviction.
And that’s what we did.
8. Here is what makes this stay with me all these years later. I did not know Alan Kyeremanten. Not at all. I had no relationship with him, no reason beyond Ghana to care whether he succeeded. I was not doing him a favour. I was doing my job, for my country, the way I understood that job to mean something.
9. I never told him. When we eventually met, when we became close, I never brought it up. It was not a card I was holding. It was just something that happened in a ministry office, a memo, a recommendation, duty carried out quietly and then set down.
10. This will be his first time finding out when he reads this.
11. Anyway, life did what life does.
12. This man I had once anonymously gone to bat for, in a corridor of diplomacy he never knew I was walking, asked me some 11 years later, if I would accept to be his VP running mate.
13. I keep thinking about that young lawyer. Starry-eyed about Crawford. Sitting down to write a memo that would ask his idol to wait, because Ghana’s turn mattered more.
14. Serve faithfully. Put Ghana first! The arc has a way of revealing itself.

I watched and read with dismay the statements made by the Sports Minister that government will be funding not more than 800 supporters at a cost of 9,250 dollars per head to go to America and watch the black stars. That’s just for the group stage.
For the love of God, if Government allows this to go through, I will lose all trust in the NDC’s wisdom and commitment to improving this country.
President John Dramani Mahama established the Ghana Medical Trust - MahamaCare. A laudable initiative. I have seen them going all around sourcing donations to the Trust, so that critical health challenges Ghanaians face will be addressed.
In fact, my law firm was considering making a small donation of 5000 cedis to support the initiative.
To learn that Government plans to spend 7.4 million US dollars for people to go and “shee jama” at the World Cup is so unconscionable and incredibly insensitive that I cannot mince words about it.
This must be stopped! They must donate that money to MahamaCare.
Please for the love of God make this make sense. Have we learnt nothing since Brazil?
And. No, we won’t be donating anything MahamaCare till this ridiculous idea is dropped. Mtcheew.
Be like we no be serious people like that.
Shalom
Kwame Governs Agbodza, Minister of Roads and Highways, says our claim that a company with one staff has been awarded a contract under the Big Push is disinformation.
Here’s the evidence from the SSNIT clearance certificate in the contract document signed between the Minister and build managers, which indicates that the company had only one worker when the contract was signed.
Build Managers is upgrading the Apegusu- Mpakadan Feeder Road (9km) at GHS 146 million. Cost per kilometer of the feeder road is GHS 16 million.
