Residents of New Town, one of the biggest and popular communities within the central business district of Sunyani, was serruptitiously engulfed with a number of soldires.

Any boy or man they met within New Town became a subject of…
It has come to the notice of the students’ body of the Medical Laboratory Scientists, the interest and infiltration of Laboratory Physicians into Medical Laboratory in KATH. As far as the student and future of this noble profession are concerned, we throw our full and undying support behind our mother Association in this fight.

How can a laboratory Physician validate results produced by a WHO certified scientist? How can a laboratory Physician…

Veteran Journalist and Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr., says the ongoing military operation against illegal miners appears to be unfocused particularly looking at the indiscriminate manner in which seized equipment are being set ablaze.

Whilst in favour of the fight against illegal mining, Mr. Baako Jnr., who was speaking on Joy FM’s News File on Saturday, May 29, 2021, said his main challenge is…
A former Deputy Minister of Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has condemned what he calls wasteful expenditure on President Akufo-Addo’s foreign trips. According to him, it is inconsiderate of the President to allow such profligacy at the expense of the “suffering masses.” “We are a country of limited resources; because of that, significant sections of our population wallow in abject poverty. Indeed, in the last few weeks, the discussions have been about the economic hardship that has come about because he has had to impose some more taxes.” “Even as citizens brace themselves for more taxes, they expect to see some…
