Oko Boye returns to LEKMA hospital
•To consult after election defeat
DEFEATED
MEMBER of
Parliament for
the Ledzokuku
Constituency in
the Greater
Accra Region, Dr Bernard Okoe
Boye, has returned to the
LEKMA Hospital to help with
consultations a week after he narrowly
lost his Parliamentary seat.
Dr Okoe Boye, who garnered
54,072 votes as compared to the
55,938 garnered by the National
Democratic Congress’s (NDC)
Benjamin Aryiku Narteh, expressed
gratitude to his constituents
for the opportunity to
serve them over the past four
years.
In a Facebook post, Dr Oko
Boye who is also the Deputy
Health Minister, said his service to
the nation did not end with his
electoral defeat.
“First post-election Monday
consultations at the Lekma Hospital.
Some staff were happy to see
me doing fine, some surprised at
my activity having assumed that
•Dr Benard Oko Boye
not winning the Parliamentary
election meant away with community
service.
“It is important to understand
that the joy a true leader experiences
does not lie in the position
he holds but in the service his
people receive. I thank God that
you do not have to necessarily
hold a position to assist others experience
a better world. Because
He lives, we can face tomorrow.”

Man, 54, pours acid on
18-yr-old girlfriend, mother
BY KOJO ANSAH
AN EIGHTEEN year-oldgirl
and her mother have
been hospitalized after an
acid attack on them allegedly
by a 54-year-old man.
The suspect, Nana Yaw
Mante, a businessman allegedly
poured the acid on
his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend
and mother while in a room
at Awukugua in the Okere
District of the Eastern Region.
Both have been referred
to the Korle Bu Teaching
Hospital in Accra.
The suspect, who is the
father of the Okere District
Chief Executive, was convicted
few months ago by the
Koforidua Magistrate Court
“A” to a fine of GHc1,200
and ordered to pay a compensation
of GH1,000 to the
victim for filming and circulating
sexually explicit videos
and pictures of the victim.
Background
The 54-year-old businessman
was put before a Koforidua
Magistrate Court for
filming and circulating nude
videos of his 18-year-old exgirlfriend.
He was charged for obscenity
contrary to section
281(i) B of the Criminal Offence
Act,29/60.
The Prosecutor, Sergeant
George Defia, told the court
presided over by His Worship
Nana Osei Assibey on
Tuesday, May 19 that the
convict and the victim, a
Senior High School dropout,
are both natives of
Awukugua in the Okere District
of the Eastern Region.
According to the prosecuting
officer, two years ago,
Nana Yaw Mante met the
victim who had dropped out
of school due to financial
challenges, and under the
pretext of assisting her to go
back to school, took undue
advantage and entered into a
sexual relationship with her.
The family of the victim
became suspicious and confronted
the accused person
but he denied having sexual
relations with the victim. The
relationship hit the rocks due
to disapproval and pestering
by the family. However, in
2019, the convict convinced
the victim and they reunited.
Nana Yaw Mante, for fear
of losing the victim again,
told her that he had taken
her to a shrine and the gods
were demanding to see her

Election 2020:
Our evidence is
solid – NDC
BY KOJO ANSAH
THE LEGAL
team of the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC) has
said it has gathered enough evidence
to challenge the results
of the 2020 polls as declared by
the Chairperson of the Electoral
Commission (EC), Mrs
Jean Mensa.
According to a member of
the legal team, Mr Abraham
Amaliba, evidence of the irregularities
as gathered by the
lawyers will be submitted to
the NDC candidate, John Mahama,
who will decide the next
line of action for the party.
“I think the team has concluded
its work as of yesterday
and they will present their findings
to the flag bearer and we
lawyers are interested in the
work they’ve done.
The team was looking at
padding and swapping of votes
and also under-voting and overvoting
in the Presidential race.
For the Parliamentary, we are
looking at nine seats but for
Presidential, it’s nationwide,” he
told Morning Starr host Francis
Abban Monday.
He added: “You see huge votes
given to Akufo-Addo and reduction
of votes for John Mahama
and these are some of the things
we’ve come across. We’ll put it in
the public domain soon.
“We don’t want to go to court
on flimsy grounds. We want to go
to court with evidence that can
stand the test of time so that even
when we lose, in the eyes of
Ghanaians, we won. What is convincing
already is the percentage
and mathematics that were gotten
wrong by the EC Chair and subsequently,
she came out with figures
that were also wrong.”
Meanwhile, legal practitioner,
Yaw Oppong, has expressed satisfaction
over the decision of the
NDC to challenge the results of
the polls in court.
“I think it’s quite comforting
that the parties who feel aggrieved
with the decision of the EC regarding
the results of the Parliamentary
and Presidential
•Mr Abraham Amaliba
elections have decided to go to
court. If you are challenging the
results, I think all parties should
have their pink sheets and be clear
in their minds that thay can establish
a prima facie case and also
have the gazetted results,” he said.
NDC flag-bearer John Mahama
has rejected the results of
the polls which gave the ruling
party some 51% of the valid vote
cast.
“We don’t want to go to
court on flimsy
grounds. We want to
go to court with evidence
that can stand
the test of time so that
even when we lose, in
the eyes of Ghanaians,
we won. What is convincing
already is the
percentage and mathematics
that were gotten
wrong by the EC
Chair and subsequently,
she came out
with figures that were
also wrong.”

nakedness.
In November 2019, he
lured the victim to Dawu
near Adukrom-Akuapem
where he recorded series of
sexually explicit videos of
themselves.
He later circulated the
videos of the victim to her
Aunty and two other men he
alleged were also dating the
victim. The videos went viral
on social media in February
2020.
The victim reported the
incident to the Domestic Violence
and Victims Support
Unit (DOVVSU) at the Regional
Police Headquarters in
Koforidua.
He was arrested on February
7, 2020 and in his caution
statement admitted recording
the sexually explicit videos of
the victim and sharing same.
The receivers of the
videos confirmed to Police
during interrogation that the
accused sent it to them but
denied circulating on social
media.

Ghana Statistical Service
begins training of Master Trainers
THE GHANA Statistical
Service (GSS)
has begun the last
phase of training
for Master Trainers
for the 2021 Population
and Housing Census (PHC)
at Winneba in the Central Region.
The in-person training workshop
on Computer Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI) would
run for eight days, from December
9 to December 16, 2020.
It follows a nine-day virtual
training programme held between
November 23 and December 3,
2020.
A statement from the GSS said
the CAPI training was necessary
because the upcoming 2021 PHC,
which is scheduled to take place in
April and May 2021, was a digital
census that involved the use of
tablets (Computer Assisted Personal
Interviewing, CAPI) for
electronic data capture and syncing.
As such, trainers for the 2021
PHC are required to have mastery
of the use of tablets in addition to
the questionnaire content and
enumeration procedures.
In all, 127 prospective Master
Trainers are participating in the
workshop which will involve assessments
to determine the participants
who will be selected as
Master Trainers for the 2021
PHC.
The Master Trainers are at the
apex of a four-tier training strategy
for the 2021 PHC which aims
to train approximately 75,000
Field Officers to collect data.
Master Trainers will train National
Trainers who will in turn
train Regional Trainers who will
directly train Field Officers.
At the opening ceremony for
the training, Mr. Owusu Kagya,
the Head of Census Methodology
entreated participants to take the
training seriously because census
work was
demanding
and
required
commitment.
He
said the
main objective
of
the census
was
to collect
credible,
usable
data for
decisionmaking
and effective training was
key to making that possible.
The Head of the National
Census Secretariat, Mr. George
Emmanuel Ossei, also emphasized
the importance of the exercise
and the need for participants
to observe all the health and
safety protocols.
The conduct of the census is
in accordance with the objectives
of the GSS to provide quality, relevant,
accurate and timely statistical
information for national development
as stipulated in Clause 3
of the Statistical Service Act, 2019
(Act 1003) and oversight of capacity
building in the statistical
ecosystem.
A statement from
the GSS said the
CAPI training was
necessary because
the upcoming 2021
PHC, which is scheduled
to take place in
April and May 2021,
was a digital census
that involved the use
of tablets (Computer
Assisted Personal Interviewing,
CAPI) for
electronic data capture

Participate in formal political
processes
• GAR 2nd Vice Chair tells SHS Students
OVER 450
Senior High
School (SHS)
students who
were firsttime
voters
in the just-ended December 7,
2020 elections, have been
schooled on matters regarding
the country’s elections.
The one-day conference initiated
and sponsored by the GAR
2nd Vice Chair was on the
theme: “The importance of
youth participation in formal
political processes.”
Using the Dzatabu Youth
Lions Club as Coordinators,
these target groups registered
for the programme and confirmed
their participation via
WhatsApp.
Assuring the students of
their safety and security, coaster
buses were hired to commute
them from and to their picking
points within, Tema West, Tema
East, Tema Central and
Ashaiman Constituencies.
Importance of youth participation
in formal political
processes
Dr. Benjamin Ashitey, who
contested the Tema East Parliamentary
primaries but lost, took
the students through the conference
theme.
After defining politics and
political participation, he explained
items related to political
participation such as Campaigning,
Voter Education,
Registering To Vote, Liaising
with Politicians, Holding Politicians
Accountable Joining a Political
Party and Contesting
/Standing For Elections.
He added that youth participation
in politics was important
because it ensures responsive, all
inclusive participatory and representative
decision-making at
all levels and equal distribution
of national resources.
Safety and security
DSP Eric Amponsah took
the students through general security
tips and how they should
conduct them during elections.
He also touched on the activities
of armed robbers and
fraudsters while advising the
students to take their personal
security seriously.
Rudiments of voting
The GAR 2nd Vice, Joana
Frances Adda took them
through the processes of voting
by demonstrating how to correctly
thumb print on their
choice of candidates.
The GAR 2nd Chair told the
students that they were one of
the many reasons why Ghanaians
voted for Nana Akufo-
Addo in 2016.
“Parents know what they go
thorough paying fees and putting
food on the table. Mothers
sell their jewelry and clothes; fathers
go for loans and sell their
lands. They should therefore appreciate
the relief this policy
has brought to parents.”
Third phase of airports disinfection takes off in Kumasi
THE THIRD phase of airports
disinfection kicked-off on Friday ,
December 11 at the Kumasi Airport
in the Ashanti Regional capital.
The exercise was a collaboration
between the government and
waste management experts,
Zoomlion Ghana Limited. It was
carried out in the evening, from
9:00 p.m to 10:00 p.m., when the
last domestic flight had disembarked
at the airport.
The exercise formed part of
the government’s commitment to
curb the spread of the COVID-
19 pandemic in the country. Facilities
disinfected included the
departure hall, arrival hall and
VIP lounge. The rest were the tarmac,
restrooms, Airport Police
Post and all open spaces at the
airport.
The Ashanti Regional Vector
Control Unit Officer, ZGL, Mr
Ernest Nutor, speaking to the
media, said the exercise was crucial
in the nation’s continuous battle
against the virus.
“More especially, as domestic
flights have resumed, it was important
that we undertake regular
disinfection of the various airports
in the country to keep them
safe for passengers,” he noted.
He said in addition to the regular
disinfection by his outfit, the
airport authorities also carried out
dusting on daily basis to make the
place safe for users.
He pointed out that the exercise
will be replicated at the Kotoka
International Airport (KIA),
Tamale Airport
and
Takoradi Airport
in the
coming days.
While
pointing out
that the national
disinfection
exercises
against the
virus had
helped, Mr
Nutor reminded
Ghanaians on the need to complement
the government’s efforts
by continuously abiding by the
CCOVID-19 protocols.
“Anytime we decide to move
out of our homes, we should remember
to wear our nose masks
and also carry our alcohol-based
hand sanitizers for sanitising our
hands against the COVID,” he advised.
According to him, the virus
was still in the country, hence cautioned
Ghanaians against losing
their guard.

GJA needs all hands on deck
THE GHANA Journalists Association
(GJA), led by its president Mr Roland
Affail Monney, has assured media practitioners
in the country of its commitment
to stand by them in the course of
their duties.
This follows injuries sustained by two
journalists in the line of duty at a collation
centre after the December 7 general
election
In this country, journalists have always
incurred the wrath of the very
people they fight for. One such incident
happened during the December 7, 2020
elections where Mr Pius Asiedu and a
reporter with the Ghana Broadcasting
Corporation (GBC) as well as a policeman
on duty, almost lost their lives.
According to the president of the
GJA, journalists gave of their best during
the elections and deserved commendation,
instead of condemnation.
He said this year’s elections were
characterised by tension, challenges and
enormous risks occasioned by gunshot
incidents which, unfortunately, left two
journalists injured.
Following from that, the SIC Insurance
Company Limited last Friday paid
the insurance benefit for one of the injured
journalists, Mr Pius Asiedu, who
suffered gunshot wounds while observing
the collation of results at the
Ablekuma Central collation centre in
Accra on December 7.
It was part of a GH¢20 million insurance
package the company provided
for the GJA for its members who covered
the elections.
As part of the package, the company
will take full charge of Asiedu’s medical
bill and also provide him with a lump
sum payment after his recovery.
Mr Asiedu, who reports for a news
portal, Newswatchgh.com, suffered a
fracture in his left leg and other gunshot
wounds and is currently receiving treatment
at the Greater Accra Regional
Hospital.
From what has transpired so far,
considering what has happened over the
years, where the GJA had not been able
to protect its members, recent engagement
shows that things are changing for
the better.
The DAILY HERITAGE commends
the GIJ for the insurance package
for journalists. The media is the
Fourth Estate of the realm and it is necessary
to protect journalists.
The paper sees the GJA’s stance as
progressive and urges the association to
do more for its members.
The paper wishes to advise that
though the GJA is an association, it
needs all hands on deck to enable it
achieve all the laudable goals it has set
itself.
The paper calls on all media practitioners
to be active in the association’s
activities to enable it become as vibrant
and efficient as we all want it to be.
GJA throws support behind journalists
THE GHANA
Journalists Association
(GJA) has
assured media
practitioners in
the country of its
commitment to stand by them in
the course of their duty.
This follows injuries sustained
by two journalists in the line of
duty at a collation centre after the
December 7 general elections
The President of the GJA, Mr
Affail Monney, said the association
strongly believed that journalists
gave of their best during the
elections and deserved commendation
instead of condemnation.
He said this year’s elections
were characterised by tension,
challenges and enormous risks occasioned
by gunshot incidents
which, unfortunately, left two
journalists injured.
Imperfection
While admitting that there had
been a few instances of imperfection
in the coverage of the elections,
Mr Monney said that should
not obstruct the fact that the
media generally performed well in
their reportage.
He, therefore, described as unfortunate
the attacks on some sections
of the media in the
aftermath of the elections.
•Mr Affail Monney
The GJA President said there
was no justification for the verbal
attacks, blazing threats and cyberbullying
being perpetrated against
certain journalists and media
houses for performing their duty.
“The GJA strongly believes
that those life-threatening experiences,
as well as the inestimable
sacrifices, sleepless nights, reportorial
skills, editorial competence,
analytical power, boundless energy,
patriotic zeal and projectional
acumen journalists and
media houses displayed deserve
fulsome commendation and not
outright condemnation.
“The anti-media brew which is
bubbling in certain political circles
is inimical to press freedom and
dangerous to our democracy. This
must stop forthwith,” he added.
While giving an assurance that
the GJA would fully support all its
members in the discharge of their
duties, he also urged them to inject
the highest degree of circumspection
in their work in order not
to inflame passions.
Mr Monney encouraged journalists
to go about their professional
work without fear of
intimidation.
SIC support
Last Friday, the SIC Insurance
Company Limited
paid the insurance benefit
of one of the injured journalists,
Mr Pius Asiedu,
who suffered gunshot
wounds while observing
the collation of results at

‘Skirt and Blouse’ claims
against Ama Sey false – Group
•Ama Sey
AGROUP calling itself
‘Friends of
Ama Sey’ has debunked
claims that
the outgoing
Member Of Parliament
(MP) for Akwatia Constituency
engaged in ‘skirt and
blouse’ campaign against the New
Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Parliamentary
candidate Ernest Yaw Kumi,
leading to his defeat in the justended
2020 General Election.
According to the communications
officer of ‘Friends of Ama
Sey,’ Eugene Sage, Madam Adu
Gyamfi independently and passionately
campaigned for both the
Presidential Candidate, Nana
Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and
the Parliamentary Candidate.
Speaking on Nkawkaw-based
Agoo FM yesterday, Mr Sage alleged
that the Constituency executives
sidelined Ama Sey and her
team during the campaign season.
The Akwatia Constituency Executives
of the NPP have announced
their intention to sack
the outgoing MP for the area
from the party effective January 7,
2021.
The NPP has also revealed it
will suspend en masse party executives
who aided Ama Sey to campaign
skirt and blouse votes
against the party’s candidate,
Ernest Yaw Kumi, leading to his
defeat in the just-ended Parliamentary
election.
The NPP lost the Parliamentary
seat to the NDC after Ernest
Yaw Kumi polled 18,742 votes as
against the NDC’s Henry Yiadom
Boakye who garnered 19,899
votes.
The NPP snatched the seat
from Baba Jamal of the NDC in
2016. But Ama Sey who won the
seat to become MP, lost her bid
for re-election during the Parliamentary
primaries of the party.
She claimed the primaries were
rigged to favour Ernest Yaw
Kumi who won with a slim margin.
The Constituency Chairman,
Alhaji Baba Yakubu, addressing
the media in Akwatia last Friday
said “looking at the just ended
December 7 election, Nana Akufo
Addo had 21, 758. John Dramani
Mahama had 16, 18. If you subtract
the difference, which is skirt
and blouse, is 5,577.
Responding to the suspension
claims, Eugene Sage told hostess
Obaahemaa Yaa Mirekua that
their leader, Ama Sey, has the
NPP at heart. He pointed out that
when she was called upon to go
independent, she rather chose to
obey the President and the Party
National Executives.
‘’Ama Sey did not go independent
when the people of Akwatia
had wanted it; she has the
NPP at heart so she rescinded her
decision to go independent when
the NPP National Executives and
other prominent people advised
her. She never engaged in any skirt
and blouse campaign so all these
allegations are false,’’ Eugene Sage
stated.

Otto Addo named assistant
coach at Borussia Dortmund
FORMER GHANA International,
Otto Addo,
has been named as the
assistant coach of
Borussia Dortmund in
Germany after the club
decided to part ways with their
head coach Lucien Favre following
a 5-1 humiliation at the hands of
newly-promoted Stuttgart.
The embarrassing defeat leaves
Dortmund fifth in the Bundesliga,
five points off the pace of leaders
Bayern Munich, whose 24 points
are matched by RB Leipzig.
By contrast, Dortmund has
earned only four points in their last
five matches, though they did make
impressive progress in the Champions
League, finishing first in
Group F ahead of Lazio.
Nonetheless, Dortmund
have ran out of patience after
losing 11 games of the new
campaign, deciding to sack
Favre and appoint assistant
Edin Terzic as interim boss
until the end of the current
season.
Confirming the news, the
official Twitter handle of the
German club said: “Assistant
coach Edin Terzic has been
appointed as interim manager
until the end of the current
season. Terzic’s coaching team
will be joined by Sebastian
Geppert and Otto Addo.”

The move is further testament
of how highly respected
Otto Addo is at the club.
Addo, who is a former
player of the Yellow and
Blacks, was announced as the
side's 'talent coach' last year.
The role which was created
for the Ghanaian is to serve as
a link between the youth and
senior teams.
He is responsible for helping
to promote Borussia Dortmund’s
most talented
youngsters to the senior squad
and is in charge of their supervision
and additional training.
Dortmund’s elite talent
coach would now have to help as
Edin Terzic attempts to halt the
club’s poor run in the league this
season.
The former Black Star player
was at the club between 1999 and
2005, making 98 Bundesliga appearances
(16 goals) and winning
the 2002 Bundesliga title during his
time with Dortmund.
Born in Germany, Addo represented
Ghana at the World Cup in
2006, making two appearances at
the event as the Black Stars
reached the round of 16.
My players don't have the winning mentality
yet Hearts coach Kosta Papic
GHANAIAN DEFENDER,
Jonathan Mensah, shed tears
as he led Columbus Crew to
win the 2020 Major League
Soccer Cup yesterday.
Mensah produced a sold
shift in the defence to help
Porter's men keep a clean
sheet in their 3-0 win over
Seattle Sounders.
The 30-year-old was captured
in the video crying as he
became the first skipper to
•Kosta Papic
lead Crew to win their second
MLS Cup having clinched
their first title in 2008.
Harrison Afful got the
hosts off to a flying start at
Mapfre Stadium by assisting
Lucas Zelarayan for the opening
goal in the 25th minute.
Derrick Etienne doubled
the lead for the Crew in the
31st minute as Zelarayan
bagged his brace eight minutes
from full-time.
Mensah has established
himself as a key player in
Porter's defence this campaign
with over 25 league appearances
under his belt.
As a reward for winning
the MLS Cup, Columbus
Crew becomes the fourth
American top-flight club to
qualify for the 2021 Concacaf
Champions League.
S

Liverpool to
face RB Leipzig
LIVERPOOL WILL face last season's
semi-finalists, RB Leipzig, in the
last 16 of the Champions League,
while Chelsea come up against
Atletico Madrid.
Manchester City will face Borussia
Monchengladbach, who are in the last
16 for the first time since 1978.
Holders Bayern Munich face Italian
side Lazio, who are in the knockout
stage for the first time in 20 years.
Barcelona face Paris St-Germain
in arguably the tie of the round, a repeat
of their 2017 classic.
On that occasion, the French side
won 4-0 in the first leg but Barcelona
completed a stunning 6-1 home win
to advance.
PSG forward, Neymar, injured
against Lyon on Sunday, scored twice
for Barcelona in the last two minutes
of that dramatic comeback - for
Barcelona. The Brazilian recently said
he wants Barca great Lionel Messi to
join him in Paris next season.
All three English Premier League
teams will be away for the first leg before
having home advantage for the
return matches.
The first legs will be spread across
two midweeks, taking place on 16, 17,
23 and 24 February, with the second
legs on 9, 10, 16 and 17 March.

final - are favourites with the
bookmakers to retain their title.
