I'm self-assured and at ease with connecting with Christians — Bawumia

The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia , has encouraged Ghanaians of diverse faiths to peacefully coexist for national unity. Speaking to clergy in the Northern Region, he expressed confidence and ease in connecting with Christians, citing it as a virtue guided by the Holy Prophet Mohammed. He said "I don’t think that being a true Muslim means that you cannot get close to Christians. I don’t see how being a true Christian, you cannot get close to Muslims." "Prophet Mohammed said to the Muslims that of all the religions and faiths of this world, Muslims should get closer to the Christians. That is what the Prophet Mohammed said and so I am very much comfortable and confident in getting close to Christians. My brothers and sister are Christians and I cannot say that I will not get close to them," he added.

Mahama's AI promise to fight galamsey is vote-seeking gimmick — Richard Ahiagbah

Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asserted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is complicit in promoting illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey .  His remarks follow the recent pledge by John Mahama, the NDC's flagbearer, to employ advanced technology, specifically artificial intelligence, in tackling galamsey if elected in the 2024 elections. Addressing attendees as the guest of honor at the 3rd Annual Transformational Dialogue on Small-scale Mining at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in Sunyani, Mahama outlined plans for his administration to utilize AI for identifying small-scale mining and galamsey operations, monitoring excavators, and geofencing concessions.  He also proposed the establishment of a dedicated fund to furnish mining communities with sustainable equipment for exploitation. Responding to Mahama's proposal, Richard Ahiagbah dismissed it as a political ploy aimed at garnering

Missing BVR kits pose no threat to the integrity of our system — EC

The Electoral Commission (EC) has provided reassurance to the public, affirming that the absence of Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) Kits does not compromise the security of its system or data. Dr. Eric Bossman Asare explained during an interview with JoyNews that the BVRs, comprising a laptop, lack functionality without activation by the EC. Consequently, they do not pose a risk to the electoral process. Furthermore, Dr. Asare clarified that the BVRs are incapable of registering individuals during the current limited voter registration drive. They also do not contain any sensitive information from the EC's system. "The laptops on their own are insignificant. They are just like the laptops you use at your workplace. We've accounted for every single device that we're going to be using. "In 2020, when we did the registration, we bought 8,500 of the registration devices. We are not using all of them in this registration," he said. Earlier, the National Democr
