Rev Albert Seth Ocran, the Former General Director
for the Torchbearers Mission Incorporated
A former General Director of the Torchbearers Mission Incorporated (TMI) Rev. Albert Seth Ocran has advised parents to check up on their children, especially daughters, who are unable to visit them after getting married.
TMI is a missionary organisation at Korle Gonno in Accra. “Sometimes even the parents do not visit their children and they always give excuses. When you observe this trend, do not take it for granted because there is usually more to the story” he said.
Rev. Ocran was speaking in an interview with The Spectator on Friday on the need to draw the attention of parents to the subject of controlling behaviours of spouses.
According to him, this issue causes isolation among spouses, family and friends, hence there was the need for parents to be vigilant to address such issues.
He said there were signs to indicate when a spouse was being abused, which include restricting access to financial resources, employment, education or even medical care.
Rev. Ocran said most often when parents of such spouses try to make enquiry about why their children do not visit them, they always give excuses, with the most common one being “I am busy”.
He observed that in some cases, children of such spouses were not spared, as they had to endure the abuse of not being able to get in touch with others.
He said abusers ensure that their victims do not get access to the outside world to communicate their pain with them. “It is even worse when the couple lives abroad or far from their families

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
