  • NPP MP ‘secretly’ buys GhanaWeb for €1M – Sam George reveals

    NPP MP ‘secretly’ buys GhanaWeb for €1M – Sam George reveals

    Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George, has revealed that a Member of Parliament with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is presently the owner of one of Ghana’s biggest media houses, GhanaWeb.com.

    This claim was made during an interview on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana with host Randy Abbey.

    Sam George, in his allegations, suggested that the NPP is attempting to exert control over various sectors to ensure victory in the upcoming elections.

    He stated, “The NPP is so desperate to win power. They don’t believe that Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Napo on their own strengths can win them power. They need to capture every aspect of the tape.”

    He further elaborated on the acquisition of GhanaWeb, a popular and perceived neutral platform that carries both NPP and NDC opinions. According to Sam George, GhanaWeb is part of a conglomerate called African Web Technologies, run by a Dutch man named Robela, who, after a dispute with his partner Mark, sought investors to offset damages he had to pay.

    In his account, Sam George claimed, “Our colleague in Parliament on the NPP side paid 1 million euros to take over GhanaWeb. He has installed as the CEO his wife’s brother by the name of David Antwi as the new Managing Director.”

    Sam George did not disclose the identity of the side NPP MP.

    He however emphasized the implications of this alleged takeover, suggesting that GhanaWeb has now become an extension of the NPP’s propaganda wing.

    “It is important that Ghanaians now know that GhanaWeb is no longer that objective mouthpiece. GhanaWeb has now become like Daily Search Light. It is an extension of the NPP propaganda wing,” he asserted.

    However, it is important to note that TIGPost cannot independently verify the claims made by Sam George and does not have in its possession the said letter cited by him during his interview.

    The details provided by Sam George remain unconfirmed at this time.

  • High cost of data is to blame for Ghanaian movie absence on digital media – Ola Michael

    High cost of data is to blame for Ghanaian movie absence on digital media – Ola Michael

    Ola Michael, a well-known filmmaker and media personality from Ghana, voiced his serious concerns about the high cost of data in Ghana in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb Entertainment.

    He pointed out how this has a negative impact on the internet streaming of Ghanaian films.

    Ola Michael, a respected movie producer and director, pointed out that a significant portion of the audience for Ghanaian films online comprises individuals living abroad, as data is more affordable for them.

    Drawing a comparison to Nigeria, he emphasised that Nigerian filmmakers are thriving by creating content for platforms like YouTube, cinemas, and Netflix, enjoying a substantial audience base.

    Addressing the challenges faced by Ghanaian filmmakers, Ola Michael suggested that the high data costs deter local viewers from engaging with longer films on streaming platforms.

    To counter this, he advised filmmakers to create shorter films, ideally less than 10 minutes, to attract a larger audience.

    “If I, as a producer, want to get my film on a streaming platform, let’s say on YouTube, how many Ghanaians are going to watch that film, especially if it’s in 1 hour? Because people will be thinking about how much data they’re going to spend watching this movie,” he explained.

    Ola Michael underscored the importance of breaking down content for YouTube, urging filmmakers to adapt their approach to match the preferences shaped by data cost concerns.

    He acknowledged that Ghanaians living outside the country play a crucial role in supporting the streaming of Ghanaian films.

    Highlighting the severe impact of high data charges on the Ghanaian film industry, Ola Michael called for increased support and investment in the sector.

    His statements contribute to the broader discourse on the challenges posed by expensive internet data in the realm of digital entertainment products.

  • BizTech: Seven Streams Limited to transform Ghana’s oil and gas sector, create jobs for youth

    In the past few years, people from the diaspora have been retracing their ways into Ghana, in hopes of tapping into investment opportunities and other business potentials.

    From real estate, to finance and other key sectors of the economy, diasporans have been looking to create job opportunities and sustainable employment through these investments.

    For Gerald Wilson and Karleen Wilson, the establishment of an oil company focused on the transport and logistics of petroleum products has come at a good time.

    Taking their turn on GhanaWeb TV’s BizTech, the couple, Gerald Wilson and Kaleen Wilson, said their company, Seven Streams Limited seeks to meet the logistical needs of its clients by providing comprehensive transport solutions with an array of fleets and full-service portfolios in haulage.

    “Our partners in Ghana had done an extensive and well-coordinated research on the potential of transportation and logistics in the petroleum industry and this birthed the idea of us establishing Seven Stream Limited to serve that purpose.

For my husband Gerald and I, we are looking at other investment opportunities, not just in the oil and gas space, in order to create more jobs and opportunities for young people especially,” Karleen Wilson added.

  • Factcheck: Owusu Bempah’s claim Cedi is 3rd strongest currency in Africa false

    Claim: ‘Cedi is 3rd strongest currency in Africa’ – Deputy NPP Communications Director

    “A simple google check and referencing the rate at which other currencies are depreciating against the dollar will have shown that the Cedi in terms of value is indeed the third strongest currency in Africa.”

    Verdict:

    GhanaWeb has verified Owusu Bempah’s claim and finds the statement inaccurate.

    Full Text:

    The Deputy Communications Director for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Owusu Bempah stated on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 through a press release that the Ghana Cedi is the third strongest currency in Africa.

    According to him, persons who described the Cedi as the worst-performing currency in the world are mere propagandists and therefore challenged them to name any currency in Africa stronger than the Cedi aside from the Tunisian Dinar and Libyan Dinar.

    Verification

    Data from global financial news, research and data organization, Bloomberg shows that the Cedi is currently the worst-performing currency against the US dollar in the world.

    Bloomberg measures the strength and performance of global currencies by comparing currencies against more stable currencies like the US dollar, UK pounds and the Euro in real-time.

    In its latest tracking of 148 currencies across the world, Bloomberg projected the Cedi depreciated by 45 percent this year and on Monday, October 17, 2022 alone, the Cedi depreciated by 3.3 percent to trade at GH¢11.2750 to $1 and currently stands at GH¢13.55 to $1.

    According to Bloomberg, this makes the Cedi the worst-performing currency in the world and Africa, overtaking the Sri Lanka Rupee.

    Specifically, on the African continent, Bloomberg in August 2022 tracking ranked the Cedi as the worst performing currency among African currencies with the “Worst Spot Returns”

    The cedi, at the time, recorded -28.82 percent depreciation to the dollar as of August 8, 2022, to sell at nearly GH¢9 to a dollar.

    The reports and tracking by Bloomberg have been corroborated by renowned Ghanaian Economist, Professor Godfred Bokpin in an interview with BBC Pidgin who revealed that the Cedi is even performing worse on the Black market where it is traded at over GH¢12 to $1.

    In addition to this, Checks by GhanaWeb Business at some forex bureaus in Accra show that the cedi is currently selling at GH¢13.65 to $1 as of October 20 while the Bank of Ghana is selling at a rate of GH¢11.31 as of October 19.

    According to AfriSwap, the UK Pound is selling at GH¢14.50 while the Euro is going for GH¢12.40 as of October 20, 2022.

    Professor Steve Hanke, a Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University and famous for measuring the global economics and strength of global currencies rated the Cedi as the lowest-performing currency in the world.

    Conclusion:

    From the above data and figures provided, the GhanaWeb FactCheck team finds Owusu Bempah’s claim that the Cedi is the 3rd strongest currency in Africa inaccurate.

    The Cedi is currently the worst-performing currency against the dollar in the world, overtaking the Sri Lanka Rupee as of Monday, October 17, 2022.

  • BizTech: How BOST achieved its positive operational turnaround

    Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Limited saw a rise in profit of GH161 million in the 2021 fiscal year after registering ten years of straight losses.

    This development is the result of a fundamental business strategy and a roughly 83 percent increase in sales revenue from gasoline and diesel.

    On GhanaWeb TV’s BizTech, BOST’s managing director, Edwin Provencal, said the state-owned company also implemented the efficient utilization of money from the nine pesewas BOST margin on petroleum goods.

    He explained that money from the petroleum charge was utilized, among other things, to decommission problematic tanks, refurbish four river barges for the transfer of gasoline, and carry out reconstruction and repair work on fuel depots.

    Mr. Provencal said careful examinations with management and staff of BOST have since culminated in positive results but stressed there is more to be done to improve the firm’s operations.

    “Despite these positives, we are still not there yet, but I am optimistic we are on the right path as there is more work needed to be done here at BOST toward the development of the petroleum downstream sector,” he told GhanaWeb’s Mawuli Ahorlumegah.

    He, therefore, stressed that state-owned enterprises in the country could become profitable and valuable with the right leadership, collaboration and effective direction.

  • Customers cry over unavailable prepaid power supply for 3 days

    GhanaWeb has learned that certain Ghanaians have been forced to remain in the dark for the past three days in several areas of the capital, Accra, due to the lack of prepaid energy.

    Consumers who are trapped claim that their actions have been twisted by the “unplanned blackout” brought on by the lack of credit.

    They also mentioned how some of them, whose businesses directly rely on energy, had suffered significantly as a result of the three days of power outages that have occurred since September 27, 2022.

    However, they want the services to be finished as quickly as possible.

    According to the prepaid retailers, this has been due to some network challenges from the Electricity Company of Ghana.

    A customer at Labadi, Adwoa Okyere who spoke to GhanaWeb on September 30 said: “I’ve been coming here to look for credit to buy since Tuesday. Every day they keep saying, the network is not working. We have called the ECG severally but nothing has been done.”

    Akosua Kumah also lamented how this has affected her activities.

    “The foods in my fridge are going bad, I have the money here with me so why can’t I get credit to buy? This is bad. They really have to attend to the situation as soon as possible,” she said.

    However, the officials at the ECG told retailers the situation is being worked on.

    The Public Utility Regulatory Commission(PURC) has assured customers that the commission is working closely with the Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG) to resolve utility service struggles.

    The ECG announced on Thursday, September 29, 2022, that it is facing a technical challenge that has affected its prepaid metering systems. The electricity service provider said the challenge has interrupted the purchase of electricity credit.

    The PURC, in a statement also issued on Thursday, said that the commission has noticed the concerns raised regarding vending problems and promised to work with the ECG to find a quick resolution to the matter.

    “The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission(PURC) has noticed with concern, challenges experienced in vending, by consumers on ECash and PNS Metering Systems of the Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG). The Commission is closely monitoring the situation and in full discussions with the service provider to address the issues,” the statement read.

  • It’s a shame that Ghana now has zero shares in AngloGold Ashanti – Sam Jonah

    A renowned business executive and former Chief Executive Officer of Ashanti Goldfields, Sir Sam Jonah, has revealed that Ghana’s government has sold all its shares in AngloGold Ashanti.

    According to the business mogul, Ghana sold 30% of its shares in the company in 1994.

    However, the rest of the 25% was sold after the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

    He described the turnout of events as shameful as he bemoaned the low level of ownership the country has in major companies and businesses that are run locally.

    According to him, no Ghanaian has any shares in any of the mines in the country.

    Speaking on GTV’s BBUM show on September 25, 2022, he said: “Ghana’s government has 10 percent interest in all the mines but beyond the government, there is no Ghanaian who has [even] 2 percent shares in the mines. Ghana’s government has 55%, and they sold their interest from 55% to 25% in 1994.

    “So, the Ghana government sold and took 400million dollars out and so Ghana government became 25% and not a 55% shareholder and later on we merged and became AngloGold Ashanti.

    “And currently, as we speak, it has zero equity interest in AngloGold Ashanti. The Ghana government had 10 percent in the mines, like Obuasi etc, but as the company that merged, the Ghana government has zero percent of AngloGold Ashanti, which is a shame because we sold,” he said.

    Sam Jonah also stated that in South Africa, all the mines are owned by South Africans which meant that profit was not expatriated and that accounted for Johannesburg’s recognition as a gold mining city.

    Meanwhile, as Ghana currently faces harsh economic crisis, trade unions have asked the government to institute some laws that will ensure that foreigners who do business in Ghana retain a percentage of their profit in the country.

    They believe that this will help address the rapid depreciation of the cedi.

  • Suspected thief nearly lynched at Ogome

    A suspected thief who allegedly attempted breaking into a phone shop at Ogome, a suburb of Somanya in the Eastern Region Tuesday dawn was nearly lynched by an angry mob.

    The timely intervention of the police saved his life.

    41-year-old Kojo Owusu is currently on admission at the Yilo Krobo District Hospital receiving treatment under police guard.

    Information gathered by GhanaWeb suggests that the suspect who claimed to be a native of Kumasi-Abuakwa but resides at Mataheko, a suburb of Afienya in the Greater Accra Region together with two accomplices who managed to escape from the mob, attempted breaking into the container which was stocked with mobile phones and accessories.

    The culprits had allegedly already cut one of the padlocks used to lock the shop before being apprehended.

    Narrating the incident to GhanaWeb, a resident of the area said his attention was drawn to the scene around 2 am when he together with an uncle were on their way to the roadside at that time of the morning.

    “I was home when I decided to come to the roadside and I saw two people standing by the container and cutting it. So I called my brother and told him what was going on and they came. The two cutting the container managed to escape but we caught the driver,” he narrated.

    The suspect upon seeing the approaching residents attempted to escape by speeding off in a KIA truck with registration number AS 1040-12 which they had parked in front of the shop but he was accosted by the residents.

    The confrontation attracted others to the scene who, not convinced by his answers to their interrogations, assaulted him severely with all manner of implements to the point of death.

    He sustained deep cuts on his head and severe injuries on other parts of his body before personnel from the Somanya District Police Command intervened and sent him to the hospital.

    The KIA truck was set ablaze by the angry mob before personnel from the Somanya Ghana National Fire Service were called to put out the fire.

    Upon interrogation, Kojo told the police that he had gone to offload some bags of maize at Asutuare in the Greater Accra Region and was on his way back when the two asked him to convey them to Ashaiman.

    Assemblyman for Ogome Electoral Area, Hon Richard Kumah in an interview explained that he was called around 2:30 am to the scene and immediately proceeded to the Somanya Police Station to report the incident.

    He referred to a similar instance in the area a few months ago where a phone shop was cut open and the items were stolen.

    He however called on residents not to mete out instant justice to thieves and other criminals but draw the attention of the police to the scene for prompt action.

    Efforts to get a response from the Somanya District Police Commander, Superintendent Andrews Anyani proved futile as he didn’t pick up his calls.

  • Customers pay 40 pesewas for pure water after vendors “reject” 50 pesewas

    Pure water and bottled water buyers and sellers have reacted to the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers’ declaration that, starting on September 19, 2022, pure water must be sold for 50 pesewas while bottled water costs start at Gh2 and above.

    Sellers who spoke with Ernestina Serwaa Asante of GhanaWeb stated that selling sachet water for 50 pesewas was costly, particularly in light of the current financial crisis.

    They claim that the sellers agreed to offer pure water for 40 pesewas as opposed to the intended price of 50 pesewas.

    “Our customers have kicked against the 50pesewas increment so we are selling it at 40 pesewas…the wholesalers have to sell it to us for GH¢7 else, we will stop selling the water because we can’t sell to others at 40 pesewas. The prices have to be reviewed downwards because it is very expensive,” one of the traders told GhanaWeb’s Ernestina Serwaa Asante.

    “We are even struggling now though we are selling the pure water for 40 pesewas so if we try selling it at 50 pesewas, we will suffer more. We buy the water at GH¢6 wholesale price whiles from retailers, GH¢8. The profit margin is very minimal but manageable,” another seller told GhanaWeb.

    One of the customers while sharing her views on the increment said, “We can’t buy pure water at 50 pesewas because we are suffering. The 30 pesewas price needs to be retained. The increment is unnecessary because everyone drinks water.”

    Meanwhile, the prices of bottled water have also been reviewed upwards.

    The small-sized bottle now sells at GH¢2.50 whiles the medium goes for GH¢2.50 pesewas from the initial GH¢1.50pesewas.

    It would be recalled that the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers attributed the price increment to the rising cost of inputs such as fuel and packaging materials which are mainly imported.

    The association also said the increment in electricity and water tariffs from September 1, 2022, was a contributing factor to the price hike.

    It added that the suggested adjustment is to help producers cover their production costs.

    However, there would be slight variations across regions due to haulage to remote and distant areas.

     

  • Utility tariffs increment: Don’t use strategy to retrieve money from us – Kumasi residents react

    Some residents of Kumasi in the Ashanti region have been reacting to the new utility bills that are set to take effect on September 1, 2022.

    This comes after the Public Utilities and Regulatory Commission (PURC) proposed a 27.15 percent upsurge in electricity bill and a 21.55 percent increase in water bill.

    Objections and support for the new tariff increment have embraced the new directive which will take effect soon.

    Some residents describing the new upsurge as a ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul strategy strategy’, said the government is deliberately doing this to regain profit from the lost it incurred during the COVID-19 era, thus when it supplied water and electricity for free.

    Speaking to GhanaWeb, most of these worried residents pleaded with the government to reconsider things and rescind its decision to increasing the tariffs.

    According to most of them, the addition of this current hike to the existing economic hardship faced by Ghanaians will bring a big blow, hence the need for the government to subsidize the bills instead of the increment.

    “Electricity and water bills are already expensive, people can’t pay. Kindly give it to us for free, we’re suffering. We only come to work to sleep because of hardship”. Is this a strategy to retrieve the lost incurred for the free supply of utilities during the covid 19?” A resident by name Nana Addo quizzed.

    “I see this as one of the ways this government is trying to get back the monies from the free water and electricity it supplied us during the covid 19 era. But we’re pleading with the government to have mercy on us because we’re really sweating”. Bismark told GhanaWeb.

    “Most of the houses that were supplied with meters by various assembly members are not being forced to pay light bills. Even though there are most of them who make effort to pay their bills, but there’re no serious officials to do such follow ups. I’m pleading with the government to rather concentrate on such issues to generate more revenue than to increase tariffs,” a Buokrom resident who spoke to Ghanaweb revealed.

    Some have also suggested the government stops the tariff increment and rather find other means to generate money into the the system.

    “I humbly suggest the government uses the e-levy money to cater for the bills and stop the increment. We’re now in crisis, Ghanaians are indeed suffering,” Dan revealed.

    “If the government wants us to leave this country to Togo, it must tell us. Things are hard, and you still want to increase utility tariffs? I see this as the government’s scheming plan to get back the money from the free water and electricity supply during the COVID-19 crisis. If that’s not the case, the government must tell us why this punishment in this time of difficulty?

    Despite the numerous objections to the new electricity hikes, there were some others who called on Ghanaians to support the government by accepting the current hikes. Some of these people said it was time Ghanaians paid high utility bills to support the government in revenue generation.

    “Even in America, things are difficult. Don’t blame the government for anything. This government has done well by managing things well, and it was time Ghanaians commend it by accepting the new tariffs. I support the government to the highest point. I urge Ghanaians to pay the new tariffs. Most people usually dodge tax payments and it was time the government uses these small bills to generate revenue”. Burger Nsia, a former American citizen said.

    Madam Akua, a teacher who spoke to Ghanaweb said though the increment was good but the government needed to reduce the percentages.

  • GhanaWeb journalists traumatised after attack at NDC Headquarters

    Two GhanaWeb staff who were attacked by irate National Democratic Congress supporters at the party’s headquarters on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, have been left traumatised.

    The supporters attacked Laud Adu-Asare who is Head of Political Desk and Sandra Obiribea, a videographer, at the party’s premises in the course of covering a scheduled press conference by the party executives.

    A distressed Laud Adu-Asare had his shirt and media jacket torn with bruises on his left arm from the assault while Sandra also escaped a knife attack.

    “Let’s kill her, lets beat her. You the media caused all this. This keeps ringing a bell anytime I am left alone. Though my family and company have been supportive, I still can’t shake off the nightmare I experienced,” a distraught Sandra said.

    The two have undergone medical treatment and are helping with police investigation. They are also scheduled to receive psychological help.

    Company equipment including tripod and identification cards were also stolen as a result of the attack by the irate supporters.

    The NDC has not reacted to the attack on the GhanaWeb journalists. However, GhanaWeb maintains its decision to withdraw from covering NDC events until steps are taken by the party to avoid any further occurrences.
