Leader of Alternative Force for Action Movement (AFA) Dr. Sam Ankrah has sent a touching message to children on his birthday today.
According to him, the message is to encourage children not to give up on their dreams regardless of bad leadership encountered.
In a video which carried the message, a sombre Dr. Ankrah said that even though he is excited on a special day as he celebrates his birthday for being blessed over the years, he was saddened by the rate at which innocent children suffer in the country.
He added that children had to endure all these challenges because the leaders have failed to deliver over the years.
Against this backdrop, he said, “On this day as I reflect on my young self as a child I want to send a special message to all children in Ghana, privileged, underprivileged and the innocent ones on the streets, I want them to know that they are the future leaders and their dreams are valid.”
He then promised to make every child have the best of life when given the mandate as the President of Ghana.
Dr.Ankrah thanked those who have believed in the AFA movement and have supported him over the period.
As part of the birthday celebration, Dr. Ankrah will fete the downtrodden at Madina, Nima and other parts of Accra and visit the mosque as well.
Dr. Ankrah through AFA has indicated that he will provide an alternative national governance which will deliver policies and programmes that will meet the aspirations of Ghanaians.

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.

“Ghana has vast opportunities across tourism, hospitality and the creative industries. We are ready and open for business,” she stated.
The Minister’s remarks come as government intensifies efforts to leverage culture and tourism as drivers of economic growth and job creation.
