Mr. Wise Letsa
A dietician, Mr Wise Let¬sa has advised workers not to sacrifice their health in their quest to make ends meet.
Speaking in an inter¬view with The Spectator on Monday, he said, many people in an attempt to become wealthy, overwork themselves at the expense of their health.
He emphasised the need for ‘self-love,’ describing it as an important principle not only for bringing joy, happiness and realising one’s worth but also for improv-ing health and well-being.
Mr Letsa advised that people must devote same energy towards the welfare of others to themselves, es¬pecially with regard to issues concerning their health.
“If you love yourself, you should care for yourself. This however is not the case for many people. The daily hustles take the time need¬ed for self-care. In the end, they become stressed and get sick,” he said.
He said, making enough time for sleep and rest had not been the priority of many.
“Though there might not be time to sleep when work demands are so high, planning one’s activities well and making room for enough sleep, may be one of the best solutions to ensuring good health,” he said.
The Dietician stressed the need to also eat well and on time to make the body healthy.
“You will naturally not allow your body to feel hun¬gry for long because you love yourself. But this love even becomes more meaningful if you choose healthy foods,” he stressed.
He said persons who loved themselves, always made time to exercise, lose weight and stay healthy.
“I see how hard it is for my obese patients to even get up from their seats when they visit my consulting rooms. Also, many of them cannot afford to bend down and lace their own shoes, which frustrates them se¬verely. With love for oneself, you will be motivated to exercise,” he advised.
He assured that those who prioritised their health felt good about themselves and have peace within their bodies.
Mr Letsa said eating well would ensure good blood sugar levels, good cholester¬ol levels, weight control and good blood pressure.
The Dietician advised that everyone must love them¬selves a little more and stop taking decisions that would affect their health.
“Make that move that will benefit you. Hit the road, get a walk, dance, swim, or do any exercise that you find easy to do,” he said.
From Dzifa Tetteh Tay, Tema
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
