COA Mixture not a
cure for HIV/AIDS
but supports the
immune system
for healthy living
Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of COA
Research and Manufacturing Company Limited,
Professor Samuel Ato Duncan has clarified that
COA Mixture is not a cure for HIV/ AIDS.
However, he noted that the COA Mixture is
so powerful that it preserves itself and has unique phytochemicals
that can support the immune system for
healthy living.
Speaking at the re-launch of COA Mixture in Accra last
week, Prof Duncan said that COA Mixture is a 100 percent
natural product from plants and has no artificial preservative
Ṗrofessor Ato Duncan announced that the COA Research
and Manufacturing Company Limited is close to a
research breakthrough, adding that when successful, Ghana
stands to realize not less than 32 billion dollars annually
from this plant medicine.
"This is what I want to achieve for Mother Ghana as
part of my Global peace Mission Project. This will bring
economic relief to Ghana and also get treatment for some
diseases the world is struggling to treat," he said.
He, therefore, called on the government, research institutions,
and investors to collaborate with the Company in
order to carry the above vision to reality.
Professor Ato Duncan made it known that already, the
company has acquired 1000 acres of land in the Ashanti
Region to cultivate raw materials.
However, he said the company needs an additional
9000 acres of land for the cultivation of raw materials to
produce COA products to meet the international market
demands.
He donated GHC 100,000 to the Ghana Federation of
Traditional Medicine Practitioners Associations (GHAF-
TRAM) to support members who have potential medicines
but do not have sufficient funds to go through the process
of evaluation and registration.
Prof Ato Duncan appointed the Asantehene, Otumfuo
Osei Tutu II to be Patron of the COA Mixture because of his
support to COA Mixture.
He entreated everyone including those abroad to take
COA Mixture for their general wellbeing.
'Erratic educational
system worrying!'
The Member of Parliament
for Builsa South
Constituency in the
Upper East Region, Dr.
Clement Abas Apaak
has described the current educational
system as erratic and one
which lacks the ability for career
development.
This, he said, portends risks
for pupils and students who
would be deprived of quality
future-life development.
He, therefore, called for
stakeholder engagements to
urgently mitigate the anomaly
in the sector.
Speaking in an exclusive
interview with DAILY Analyst
in Parliament, the Builsa South
MP bemoaned the government's
approach to addressing the
challenges that have bedeviled
the sector.
According to Dr. Apaak, the
government's handling of challenges
in the educational sector
means there' was no commitment
to safeguard and prepare
a quality future for Ghanaian
students.
"Clearly, what's happening
in the educational sector is worrying
not only to political actors
but to parents and students who
must be up and doing in demanding
their rights," he said.
He, therefore, charged
parents to be up and doing in
demanding their rights from the
government.
According to Dr. Apaak, who
is a deputy Ranking Member
on the Education Committee
of Parliament, the challenges
experienced formed part of the
myriad of problems evident in
the sector.
He said the current challenges
were just a microcosm of the
loads of challenges that have hit
hard the educational sector, and
thus charged the government to
think outside the box in addressing
the problems.
"Previously, when students
go to school, there were set times
regarding the number of days,
weeks and months required of
The Police are on a
manhunt for three suspected
armed robbers
who shot and killed
a lawyer, Richard at
Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri on
the Bole Bamboi highway in the
Savannah Region
The robbers emerged from
their hideout in a bush and
pointed to the vehicle in which
the lawyer and his relatives were
traveling to stop and one of the
robbers shot and killed him.
According to the police, the
late Richard Badombia was seen
behind the steering wheel with
pellet wounds spread over his left
cheek.
“The body was removed and
has been deposited at the Wenchi
Methodist Hospital for preserva-
them to spend in school and
when parents anticipate their
return and that informs the kind
of preparation parents make but
now, secondary education can
be erupted at any time making
it difficult for parents, teachers,
and headteachers to effectively
plan. How can such a system
produce problem-solving future
leaders?" He questioned.
"Not only will a well-plan
academic calendar aid instructor
to better prepare their lesson
plan and scheme of work for the
academic calendar, but it will
also help to garner resources to
meet the demands of the period",
he observed.
The deputy ranking member
on the Education Committee
could not understand why students
would leave for school and
be expected to return in threeto-four
months' time only to be
asked to go home.
He alleged that the government
took that knee-jerk decision
as a result of its inability to
defray its indebtedness to buffer
stock food to the tune of GHS500
million.
Out of that amount, government,
he noted, was able to
defray only GHS200 million, why
won't there be a shortfall?", he
asked.
Meanwhile, he said the minister
of finance upon answering
questions in the House said the
government had invested some
tion awaiting autopsy,” the Police
disclosed.
Investigations have commenced
into the incident and
residents have also been asked to
inform the Police of any infor-
GHS7.62 billion between 2017 and
2021 in the educational sector.
"The finance minister's
disclosure to my questions in
the House fails to address the
matter. I fail to understand why
we are still debilitating with this
issue if what he said was the
fact", he doubted.
He admonished the government
to listen to the concerns
raised by technocrats, university
lectures on the need, and call
for a review of the policy so that
the challenges that have rocked
the policy could be identified
with corresponding mitigative
measures.
"Government is saying the
double-track system is over, yet
it has not provided the needed
infrastructure to ease the pressure?"
he quizzed.
He continued that overcrowding
was endemic across
the country and that called for
urgent attention.
"The political expediencies
are influencing proper implementation
of the policy and that
is not helpful and beneficial
to the nation and our wards
therefore must remember that
we are preparing the future
of this nation so we ought to
give them the best. Mind you,
their colleagues in other parts
of the continent are also being
prepared so how are our wards
going to be within the contest of
the global system”? he quizzed.
