STORY: Akwasi Ampratwum-Mensah, Berekum
THE Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) has launched the first anniversary of its community newspaper, Graphic
Nsempa.
The paper, which is circulated in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions, was first published in April last year.
The one-week celebration started with a float in Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region which attracted all manner of people.
The theme for the celebration is, “Facilitating National Development Agenda Through Community Newspapers”.
Leading the float was the General Manager (GM) in charge of Newspapers of the GCGL, Mr Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, accompanied by the GM, Marketing and Public Affairs, Mr Kwasi Owusu Asare; Messrs Albert Sam, the Public Affairs Manager; Hope Adusu, the Manager in charge of Research; the Zonal Manager for the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions, Alhaji Hashim Amissah, the Brong Ahafo Regional Manager, Mr Charles Bampoe, as well as other members of staff of the company.
From Berekum, the float continued to the Sunyani municipality, travelling through the central business district of Sunyani and other principal streets, during which copies of Graphic Nsempa were distributed to the public.
Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh indicated that it was the intention of the company to alert the public to the existence of the paper.
The Public Affairs Manager explained that the anniversary was primarily to evaluate the performance of the newspaper as a pilot in the two regions for the past year in order to chart a new way forward.
He also pointed out that as a community-based newspaper, it was intended to attract advertisements from the district and municipal assemblies and also serve as an avenue for them to outline their development programmes.
Mr Sam further explained that the company had divided the country into zones, comprising Ashanti/Brong Ahafo, the North (Upper East, Upper West and Northern regions,) Eastern and Volta, as well as Western and Central, and that based on the performance of the paper in the pilot Ashanti and Brong Ahafo zone, it would be replicated in the other zones.
A similar float is expected to be organised in the Kumasi metropolis and other parts of the Ashanti Region.

US AMBASSADOR BIDS FAREWELL TO BA MINISTER (PAGE 40)
STORY: Akwasi Ampratwum-Mensah, Sunyani
United States (US) Ambassador to Ghana, Madam Pamela E. Bridgwater, has admitted that she also encountered the challenges of water shortages, electricity power outages and drought during her three-year duty tour of the country, just like the ordinary Ghanaian living in Accra or elsewhere in the country.
She, however, stated that the only advantage for her was that she had standby generators and other facilities that supported her when there were power cuts and other utility failures.
The ambassador who made the admission at Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region, was quick to add that every Ghanaian had the responsibility of contributing towards the solution of the problems that confronted the country.
Answering questions from journalists at the office of the Regional Minister, Mr Ignatius Baffour Awuah, during a farewell call on him, Madam Bridgwater observed that the problem of the environment being choked with plastic materials, was not peculiar to Ghana, but also existed in many parts of the world.
She said the only solution to the problem of plastic waste was the recycling of rubber materials.
Madam Bridgewater gave the assurance that some cities in the US were ready to share their experiences with the various district, municipal and metropolitan assemblies in Ghana to solve the problem.
According to the ambassador, she had had a wonderful and enjoyable stay in Ghana, where she paid more than one working visit to the various regions and had learnt a lot about education, health, agriculture, water and sanitation, among other issues in the country.
Madam Bridgwater expressed her country’s commitment to strengthening the cordial relations that had existed between Ghana and America over the past decades.
She commended all the parties that had contributed in diverse ways in the fight against guinea worm infection in the country and expressed the hope that the incidence would be eradicated once and for all.
For his part, the regional minister noted with satisfaction that under the ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund, most of the projects initiated in some deprived parts of the region in particular and the country as a whole, had been completed.
Mr Baffour-Awuah reiterated the government’s commitment to strengthening democracy and good governance in the country, adding that Ghana would continue to become the beacon of hope for Africa and many parts of the world.
The regional minister stated that the lack of technical educational institutes in the region, was a source of worry to the Regional Co-ordinating Council.
He, therefore, urged the US Embassy to explore ways to assist the region to establish some of those institutions in some parts of the region.
The Regional Directors of Health Services, Agriculture and Education, Alhaji Dr Mohammed Bin Ibrahim, Mr Asante Krobea and Mrs Akua Debrah, respectively, took turns to brief the ambassador and her entourage on the success stories and challenges of their sectors.
The Municipal Chief Executive for Sunyani, Mr Kwame Twumasi Awuah, appealed for a linkage between a city in the US and Sunyani to enable them share experiences.
Earlier on, the Co-ordinator for the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund, Madam Peace Adwoa Nunoo, and the Press Attache at the embassy, Mr Benjamin A. East, had told the press that in the past three years, a total of $210,000 had been earmarked to assist deprived communities across the country to undertake their own initiated self-help projects in the areas of health, education, water and sanitation.

MN. 55. NURSING MOTHER, REMANDED FOR POSSESSING 'WEE' (MIRROR, PAGE 28)
From Akwasi Ampratwum-Mensah, Wenchi
The Wenchi police have arrested a 55-year-old man, Abraham Kwartey Quartey, alias “Rasta”, 55, and Adwoa Vuoruh, 21 a nursing mother of a 11-month-old baby, for possessing narcotic drugs without authority.
According to the Wenchi District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Prince Sam Kwame Osae, while Rasta was caught red-handed holding a parcel of suspected narcotics drugs, a search in the room of Adwoa revealed a quantity of parcels suspected to be cannabis hidden under her husband’s bed.
Mr Osae said the arrest of the two followed a tip-off that Rasta and one Kwaku Atta, now at large, were dealing in the forbidden drugs at Badu, near Wenchi. When the police went in to look for Atta, he was nowhere to be found but rather came across the wife in the house.
He alleged that in the first instance when Rasta was interrogated by the police, he denied knowledge of dealing in drugs.
However, according to the police, when the police went in again to Rasta’s place he was caught holding a parcel of the suspected narcotic drugs.
Meanwhile, he said the two had been put before the Wenchi Magistrate’s Court presided over by Mr Essel Walker and remanded into police custody pending further investigations.
In a brief interview with Adwoa, she told The Mirror that she was an apprentice hairdresser at the Badu market and that the husband was a farmer, and denied knowledge of the suspected narcotics drugs.

OIL, GAS FORUM HELD IN SUNYANI (PAGE 38)
Story: Akwasi Ampratwum-Mensah, Sunyani
Members of the National Technical Committee on Oil and Gas have been called upon to actively involve the churches and all other religious organisations in the country in the on-going regional consultations on the draft oil and gas policy document for the country.
Reverend Kwadwo Owusu-Sarpong, in-charge of the Awuah-Odumase Presbyterian Church in the newly created Sunyani West District in the Brong Ahafo Region, who made the call, observed that leaders of the various religious groups had access to a large proportion of the country’s population and were therefore in the position to educate and sensitise the people to the prospects and intricacies that were associated with the oil and gas find in the country.
Rev. Owusu-Sarpong, who was contributing to the discussions at the regional consultative forum in Sunyani on Wednesday, said any attempt to sideline the religious leaders in the dissemination of information on such important national resource would be a disservice to the people.
On February 25 and 26, 2008, a National Forum on Oil and Gas Development was held in Accra with the objective of having the government of Ghana to involve all stakeholders in a discussion of the petroleum sector issues and to benefit from the lessons learnt by other countries.
By sharing of local and international experiences, the process of consultation has been initiated to facilitate the development of a comprehensive national policy for the oil and gas
sector and an Industry Master Plan.
The Brong Ahafo Regional forum discussed four key areas, namely Resource Management, Revenue Management, Health, Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility and Security.
It was attended by Municipal/District Chief Executives, Presiding Members, Heads of Departments, representatives of non-governmental organisations and political parties, chiefs, energy experts and other stakeholders of the oil and gas industry.
The Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, Mr Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, in his welcoming address, stressed that the oil and gas find in Ghana was a significant blessing that “God had showered on our dear nation at 50 years of our nationhood and the best legacy we can leave behind for the future generations is to ensure best practices in the exploitation and management of this important resource”.
He, however, noted that oil finds could be said to be a blessing because of the positive dividends that would come with the exploitation.
Mr Baffour-Awuah expressed confidence that the country could take cognisance of the positive and negative experiences of other oil-producing countries to produce a policy which would help Ghana harness the oil and gas with minimum benefits and minimal negative experiences.

THE police have mounted a search for a middle-aged farmer at Mansie, near Wenchi in the Brong Ahafo Region, for allegedly inflicting multiple machete wounds on his wife, Abena Sensah, 33, on suspicion of infidelity.
The suspect, G.K. Nsiah, alias Kwasi G.K., is alleged to have subjected the woman, a nursing mother, to severe beating, after which he followed her to her elder brother’s house where he inflicted the machete wounds on her.
The woman is said to have gone to her brother’s house to report the beating but the husband followed her there and slashed her with the machete.
The Wenchi District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Prince Sam Kwame Osae, who briefed the Daily Graphic on the incident, also alleged that Nsiah also attacked his brother-in-law when he attempted to stop Nsiah from slashing Sensah in his own compound.
According to DSP Osae, the woman was rushed to the Wenchi Methodist Hospital where she was immediately operated upon by a team of medical officers. She is currently in a stable condition.
At the hospital, the Medical Director, Dr Sibiru Ballu indicated that Sensah’s condition was so horrific that the health workers on duty when she was brought in at midnight could not stand the sight of the multiple wounds.

Sensah, who spoke to the Daily Graphic on her hospital bed, said she had been married to her husband for several years and that they had two children.
The Administrator at the Wenchi Methodist Hospital, Mr B.C.K. Botwe, commended the two medical officers for their high sense of commitment and dedication to duty to save Sensah, adding that but for their timely intervention, she would have lost her life.
