But According to the church members in the western Region Including the western regional Overseer Apostle Paul Anane,  they were not in support with what the general overseer was doing with the income the church generated from the warehouse, so he decided to dissolve the previous board so that the money they will get from the hiring of the warehouse can be used to developed the church.

  But in the cause of dissolving the previous board, the general overseer Arch Bishop Akwesi Asare Bediako became annoyed and disagreed to the Apostle's decision of dissolving the previous board and to appoint new members, because of selfish interest.

So he Arch Bishop, used every means to withdraw the regional overseer from his post so that he can get access to the money they get from the hiring of the warehouse.

CVM Commends Prez Akufo-Addo For Success In Paperless Ports System

President Akufo-Addo gets Thumbs Up For success in Paperless Ports System


The leadership of CVM would like to commend President Akufo-Addo for the great success chalked in the paperless port goods clearing systems under his  leadership.


CVM is happy that the verifiable data and statistics from the Ghana Revenue Authority, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Trade and Customs Excise and Preventive Service shows that the introduction of the paperless clearing system  has upped revenue by almost GH¢2billion within the fiscal year and likely to reach GH¢13 billion by end of year, a great improvement on the GH¢11.43 billion of revenue collected in 2017.




We the members of CVM are  happy that the near GH¢ 2billion did not end up in the pockets of individuals.

The decision of Nana Akufo-Addo led  government to commence a paperless clearing system at Ghana’s ports has proved to be a key factor in fighting corruption at the country’s revenue collection points, a major anti-corruption success story.

The paperless  Ports system has  significantly  removed the canker of human interference  and  artificial  bottlenecks  created to cause  avoidable  delays, which hitherto were the hallmark of clearing goods from Ghana’s ports.

It said the the bottlenecks compelled importers to part with various amounts of money to individual persons so   they ‘facilitate’ and  ‘speed’  the  clearing of  goods  which sometimes lasted for two weeks.

There was also the challenge of goods being inspected by separate agencies and officials individually and in many cases there were human manipulation to aid under invoicing, under declaring of goods and revenue which should have gone to government ended up in private pockets.

The Paperless clearing system  has led  to an integration and automation  of the various strategic agencies and there  is  now  a joint inspection.

The inspection agencies have also been reduced from 16 to just 3 so as to reduce clearing time, the dreaded “Long Room” has also been eliminated.

However we are not surprised that, there are people working against this anti-corruption tool called paperless ports clearing system.

The unnecessary  attempt by some people to  frustrate the status  quo  shall however  be opposed and their covet agenda exposed.

On the  global  front,  the achievement  being  made  at the  ports  has seen  Ghana ranked 156 in the trading across borders scoring 54.84 up from 52.32 in 2018 in the latest World Bank Ease of Doing Business Report.

According to the report, Ghana made importing easier by implementing a paperless customs clearance processing system. CVM would like to commend the government of Ghana; particularly the Economic Management Team, Ministry of Finance,   Ministry  of Trade,  GRA-Customs Division, West Blue Consulting, GCNET and all relevant stakeholders for their various roles played in increasing government’s revenue at the port and blocking revenue leakages through the paperless clearing system.

This is a fight against corruption and that should be supported and applauded by all well meaning persons.

Where Are The Gains of Single Window And Paperless Ports?


Where Are The Gains of Single Window And Paperless Ports?


The Ghana First Patriotic Frontiers (GFPF) has observed with keen interest and dissatisfaction, the inconsistent and contradictory figures being churned out as evidence of supposed successes of the Single Window and Paperless Ports systems at Ghana’s ports.

This is more worrying, especially when the ordinary Ghanaian importer and exporter is still faced with very major challenges at our ports and clearing time has relapsed into what it used to be.
The private operators of the system have also not been able to quantify the exact revenue gained by the country since the introduction of the two systems.




What we have had is a consistent churning out of inconsistent figures from different stakeholders all claiming to be either the amount of money saved for the country or the figure of percentage in the reduction of demurrage payment.
 GFPF is unhappy at the attempt to rely on public relations gimmicks to make the paperless ports system sound successful at all cost when indeed, no verifiable facts and figures has been made available to back the claims.
It therefore came as a great welcoming news when the media reported that the Ministry of Trade and Industry has awarded a 10-year contract to a Ghanaian company and its oversees partners, CUPIA Korea Customs Service to provide a professional Single Window trade facilitation and customs management system (UNIPASS) at the ports.
It is believed this new operators would bring in systems to reduce the inspection agencies and further reduce clearing time at the ports.
The ports at crucial revenue generation points for the country and in this era where government needs additional funding to fund the Free Senior High School policy, all hands must be on deck to block all leakages in revenue generation.



It is for this reason that the single window and paperless ports operations ought to be handled with maximum professionalism and one that would make Ghana’s ports become the envy of the world.

Kofi Osei-Ameyaw has NOT Officially Declared to Contest the Asuogyaman Seat in 2020

Our attention has been drawn to a publication by the  respected Daily Guide dated Tuesday, November 6, 2018 captioned *"2 NPP Kingpins Battle for Asuogyaman Seat"

We wish to state emphatically that Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw has NOT officially or openly declared his intention to contest the Asuogyaman Parliamentary Seat in the 2020 General Elections.

For now, Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw is more focused and committed to the mandate and favour given to him by President Akufo-Addo at the National Lottery Authority. Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw as a good servant and steward is determined to the implementation of President Akufo-Addo's transformation agenda for the Lottery Industry in Ghana.

For avoidance of doubt, Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw will not make any move on the Asuogyaman Seat without first consulting and seeking approval from President Akufo-Addo and the Leadership of the New Patriotic Party.




The prevailing circumstances ahead of 2020 will determine whether Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw will contest the Asuogyaman Seat or not.

Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw would like to use this opportunity to encourage and wish Party Members who have openly declared their intention to contest the Asuogyaman Seat in the 2020 General  Elections well and to state that he is ever prepared to support the Party's chosen Parliamentary Candidate for the 2020 General Elections.

Nana Oye Lithur Has Disgraced Herself on the Social Intervention Policy.


Nana Oye Lithur Has Disgraced Herself on the Social Intervention Policy


Nana Oye Lithur in a desperate attempt to respond to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's Social Intervention Policy question to the NDC has grossly exposed her intellectual ignorance.


According to Nana Oye Lithur on Homebase TV, "former President John Mahama implemented paramount  social intervention policies."

Interestingly, Nana Oye Lithur listed Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty(LEAP) and School Feeding Programme as John Mahama's implemented social intervention policies.

It is very essential to point out to Nana Oye Lithur that, the aforementioned social intervention policies were existing programmes introduced by NPP Government before incompetent Mills/Mahama came into office in 2009.




Nana Oye Lithur, respectfully next time  do research on National Policies before you make comment on issues in order to save yourself from political embarrassment. Please avoid Gringo-Nido Political embarrassment as suffered by Franklin Cudjoe of IMANI.

Various NDC members including Dr. Omane Boamah have failed to provide adequate and accurate response to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's Social Intervention Policy question.

John Mahama has suddenly becomes deaf and  dumb to the Social Intervention Policy question.

We are still waiting for right  response from the NDC on the Social Intervention Policy question.

Ghanaians are equally expecting answers from NDC to the 170 Economic Questions.

NPP Government is the Leading Light in Transport Infrastructure-----CVM




NPP Government is the Leading Light in Transport Infrastructure-----CVM


Transport Infrastructure basically refers to the framework that supports transport system, and this includes roads, railways, ports and airports.


When it comes to Transport Infrastructure in Ghana , no political party can compete with the achievements of  New Patriotic Party.

PNDC/NDC has ruled Ghana for 27 years but can boast of only two Interchanges namely the construction of:
1. Kasoa Interchange
2.Circle Interchange

They only thing that PNDC/NDC Government was good at was the construction of Roundabouts across the Country.

NPP Government from 2001-2009 was the first party to introduced the construction of  major interchanges and flyovers across the Country,moving away from the NDC'S Roundabouts.

 NPP Government used just 8years(2001---2009) to constructs 6 major Interchanges and 3 flyovers across Ghana namely:
1. Mallam Interchange
2. Tetteh Quarshie Interchange
3. Achimota Interchange
4. Asafo Interchange
5. Sofoline Interchange
6. Asokwa Interchange
7. Ashaiman-motorway Flyover
8. Alajo-Avenor Flyover
9. Atomic Junction Flyover

Currently, under President Akufo-Addo's Government,three major Interchanges are under construction namely:
1. Tamale Interchange
2. Tema Interchange
3. Pokuase Interchange

At the Ports too, Soft Infrastructure Projects have been implemented to block revenue leakages, maximizing revenue generation and improve efficiency.

The two main important soft infrastructure projects at the Ports implemented by President Akufo-Addo's Government are:
1. Paperless Port System
2. Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) System

Metro Mass Transit was equally introduced by NPP Government.

Ghana's Airports also experienced massive transformation under NPP Government.

NPP Government is the only Government that has added more Kilometres to the road networks in Ghana.

Currently, the railway networks are experiencing massive and unprecedented facelift under President Akufo-Addo's Government.

NDC should shut up when it comes to transport Infrastructure.
