George Duker presenting cash to the widows
Member of Parliament for Tarkwa -Nsuaem in the Western Region, Mr George Mireku Duker, has feted 420 widows in the constituency, with the assurance that “God has not abandoned you.”
“As we pray this season, my wishes are that, there shall be no poverty, widowhood should not be about sorrows, let’s enjoy and show appreciation to God,” he prayed.
Mr Duker gave this assurance when he served the widows with food and drinks, and also gave them hampers each containing a piece of cloth, rice, cooking oil, beverages and cash on boxing day.
The yearly event, which was part of Mr Duker’s initiative to celebrate the Christmas and show care and love to the underprivileged and needy at Tarkwa -Nsuaem, was attended by guests including the Queen of Apinto Division, Nana Abena Boaduwaa II, and the Western Regional Director of Education, Mrs Felicia Agyeibea Okai.
Mr Duker said, the yearly event was a happy moment to thank God for His mercies, blessings and comfort for the widows.
He said that Christians had a duty to care for the society and also make the world a better place.
The MP encouraged the widows not to give up on God and that “through people He is caring for His children.”
“This occasion is not to remember your sorrows but to appreciate what God has done for us. Indeed, let’s remember that God cares for all of us. As we kneel and pray, we pray against poverty and hunger. Bestir yourselves, dance and thank God, forget about your pains,” he stressed.
Quoting biblical accounts of David, Mr Duker said God knew the weaknesses and hearts of everybody and never forgot His people and that “despite the global, regional, national or local economic and social challenges, He will do things in His own time and we know he can do it.”
The Municipal Chief Executive of Tarkwa -Nsuaem, Mr Benjamin Kesse, noted that, the event was tailored to promote the welfare of widows and the disadvantaged in society, adding that “ God has listened to your prayers.”’
“This is Christmas and we are promoting healthy life and growth. We pray that the next season will also be a blessing to us all. We also pray for longer life especially for Mr Duker”, he prayed.
Secretary of Widows Might Foundation, Beatrice Corangle , thanked Mr Duker for the yearly event which she described as a respite and joy to beneficiaries.
She said “ We seek God’s guidance and blessings for Mr Duker for what he is doing for widows in Tarkwa -Nsuaem.”
From Clement Adzei Boye, Tarkwa
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.
