According to information obtained by Ghana360news, the administration and the West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) have worked out a provisional payment plan to pay off the State’s $20 million debt. WAPCO cut off the gas supply needed for electricity generation, causing widespread darkness as the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) reported a 550MW supply shortfall during peak hours. Ghana360news sources report that while a deal has been struck, there is still a possibility of some interruptions because the agreement does not ensure that gas will flow from Takoradi to Tema immediately. The administration has been pushed to pay down its debt by the Minority in Parliament in order to prevent the nation from entering an energy catastrophe. Edward Bawa, a parliamentarian who serves on the Mines and Energy Committee, has proposed that the government work out a solution with WAPCo. “The government needs to work out a plan with WAPCo on how to pay for that. I think it will work if WAPCO starts to feel somewhat reassured that the government has been in contact to handle the payment. “We are going to have problems if the government doesn’t find a way to allow WAPCo to feel secure enough to carry on transferring gas from Obuasi to Tema. Simply put, the absence of gas indicates that the plants, which depend on fuel, are unable to operate. “And you’d have that ‘dumsor’ if they couldn’t flee,” he said. He claims that since January 2023, WAPCo has not received payment, which has caused costs to mount. “You might then wonder, Whose liability is it? It is true, that GNPC acted as a guarantee for ECG because the latter does not always have a healthy access to or guarantee that it will be able to enter into agreements with gas or electricity utilities. He clarified, “So ECG has to pay WAPCo, but regrettably, ECG is unable to pay the liability because the cash waterfall mechanism, which is where all the money that ECG collects after selling power is put for it to be distributed among the utility mechanism, has not been working for almost 13 months.” source: Ghana360news.com

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president and a front-runner for the NPP flagbearer position, claims he is the target of new lies every day. With just two weeks to party primaries, the vice president is currently campaigning and claims his rivals are creating rumors about him out of fear of losing to him in the polls on November 4. “Unfortunately, the way the super delegates’ results came in has left many of our opponents perplexed and aware of our impending defeat on November 4; as a result, they have chosen to implement some new tactics. What are the new tactics? He addressed delegates in the Tatale-Sanguli Constituency, saying, “They have chosen to propagate false information, sow division among us, and cause issues amongst chairmen and constituency executives, as well as the polling station executives and electoral area coordinators. Prior to the presidential primary, the Vice President has been subjected to a torrent of attacks from Kennedy Agyapong, the front-runner, including the most recent attack from Prof. Frimpong-Boateng, a former environment minister. In an exclusive interview with Ghana360news, the former Environment Minister said that the ruling party, running the Vice President as its nominee, would find it difficult to win the 2024 elections. “His opponents merely need to play back the numerous statements he made in the past, and then we’ll see.therefore the party would have it harder,” he informed the host. The Vice President feels that since they “want to knock our heads together so they have come with different lies.” Despite having chosen silent throughout the campaign, Dr. Bawumia remarked, “Every day as I sit down and watch what they are saying, I’m hearing a lie.” “They say I have given all Constituency Chairmen, 275 Constituency Chairmen a GHC100, 000 and a pick-up. Have you seen any pick-up here for your chairman? This is just a ridiculous lie,” the Vice President said to the cheering supporters. Dr Bawumia further debunked claims he is advocating for sitting MPs to contest their primaries unopposed. For Dr Bawumia,…

Due to the prevalence of open defecation, typhoid fever and malaria are on the rise in the Buipe neighborhood. Nearly 85% of instances of typhoid fever and malaria reported to medical facilities, according to health officials. Over 7,000 people in the Buipe village have been impacted by floodwaters over the past month. Numerous houses and other buildings have been destroyed. The majority of the victims are currently living in schools. In an interview with Ghana360news correspondent, Osman Fuseini, Bridgewurche Barchisu Mankir, a Queen mother whose area has been severely hit said “the increase in typhoid cases is due to the use of contaminated water sources. Because there is no access to clean water and all of our public restrooms have been inundated, people are forced to drink the same water that they urinate in.” She described the event as terrifying and disastrous. “The floods are certainly taking a toll on us. The gaps in healthcare will get worse as a result of this circumstance. “Go to the hospital and observe people lying there; even individuals who are at home are afflicted with malaria and typhoid.” Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for…
