Asantehene calls for urgent reforms at A-G’s office

The reforms, according to him, have become even critical in view of the establishment of the Office of the Special Prosecutor to help fight corruption.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu made the call when the Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Ms Gloria Afua Akufo, paid a courtesy call on him at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
The Minister was in Kumasi as part of her official visit to the department and agencies under her Ministry in the Ashanti Region.
The Asantehene pointed out that the delays by the Department to provide timely legal advice to state and police prosecutors to discharge their duties in the law courts were a source of concern to many Ghanaians, especially those involved in civil and criminal cases.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu said it was time the Minister took the issue of reforms at the AG’s department seriously since the Special Prosecutor, Mr Martin Amidu, would need the support of the department to be successful in the work he has been appointed to do.
He stressed the need for the AG’s department to collaborate with the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) to embark on educational campaigns to sensitize the public on the laws of the country as well as their civil and legal rights.
Ms Akufo thanked the Asantehene for the advice and said efforts were being made to address the challenges facing the department to improve justice delivery in the country.
Ms Akufo, later at a meeting with officials of agencies under her, admitted there were logistical and financial constraints facing them in the discharge of their duties.
She urged them to continue to work hard to keep their offices running as government work to address some of the challenges facing them.
Ms Akufo said her outfit had been given financial clearance to recruit lawyers and other administrative staff as part of efforts to solve the human resource challenges facing the ministry.

Ghana Ranks 1st in World Manhood Ranking

A graph revealing the average size of a man’s erect penis from all over the world has surfaced online and Africa is topping the list. Ghanaian men have the world’s largest penises, while Nigerian ranks 5th according to the latest ranking. South African men are ranked at number 10. It appears countries such as Asian countries such as India, Thailand and South Korea are not as gifted in terms of ‘eggplant’ as they are sitting at the bottom of the table. Nigeria is in the top five with Gabon, Jamaica, and Haiti. Target Map published a graph showing the differing lengths of a male’s manhood size across the World and Africa, Western Africa particular, takes the top spot. Target Map created the colour-coded interactive infographic which shows the different sizes of men’s manhood depending on where they’re from. The African countries have the largest manhoods while erect, while orange comes second, yellow is in middle, light green is the smallest and green is the smallest. ...

Easter celebrations: 3 drown at Tawala beach on Good Friday

Three persons are reported dead after they drowned at the Tawala Beach at La in Accra. The deceased were part of a youth fellowship team of fifteen people who went to the beach to pray on Good Friday. The incident occurred after some of the team members decided to swim after their prayer session. In an attempt to save their drowning friend, the two others also drowned. Speaking to Citi News, a brother of one of the deceased, Kwame Mac-Joseph, said the absence of lifeguards at the Tawala beach is to blame for the deaths. “In the course of the swimming, one person was drowning and the next person wanted to help and he got drowned. The third person who also wanted to help also got drowned.” He said some of the onlookers were unwilling to help because they were not experienced enough in swimming, and were also terrified. “There was no rescue team or indigenous people readily available to help. The onlookers were looking at this three gentlemen drowning.” “We just received a call ...
