Members of the club
Desiadenyo Club in Ho has marked its 40th anniversary with a call on members to be guided by integrity in the course of their duty.
The anniversary was held under the theme ‘Unity in diversity: 40 years Desiadenyo.’
Speaking at the anniversary celebration, the president of the club in Ho, Mr Gabriel Dzimale, explained that integrity was an important tool for the growth of the club.
He said the club, which was founded by 10 young workers 40 years ago was aimed at fostering unity, brotherliness and friendliness among themselves.
“It was also to provide service to the needy and vulnerable individuals, groups and communities,” he said.
He mentioned that the club has over the years supported schools within the municipality with educational material in an attempt to promote teaching and learning.
“This we did as part of efforts to give back to the society,” Mr Dzimale stated.
The president said the membership of the club had increased over the years making it a formidable club, hence the need to remain united and be willing to embrace change.
According to Mr Dzimale, unity would serve as a catalyst to advance the club’s growth as well as propel them to assist each other, their families and the municipality as a whole.
“As the club grows in numbers, we must recognise that we are one people regardless of where we hail from in the region,” he said.
The chairman for the occasion, Dr Harrison Belley, commended the founding members for their contribution towards the development of the club.
He urged members to shun ungodly acts that could retard the progress of the club.
From Kafui Gati, Ho
Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.
In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.
According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.
He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.
Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.
He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.

The Ministry of Health has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that Ghana has recorded 2,300 Ebola cases and 930 deaths, describing the publication as false and misleading.
In a press release issued by its Public Relations Unit, the ministry said the publication, which was attributed to SABC News, does not reflect the true situation in Ghana.
It stated that Ghana has not recorded any case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and urged the public to disregard the figures being circulated.
The ministry explained that the recent visit by the Minister for Health, Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, to points of entry, laboratories and treatment facilities was part of the country’s routine preparedness efforts to strengthen its ability to prevent and respond to any potential public health emergency.
It stressed that the minister’s visit should not be interpreted as evidence of an Ebola outbreak in the country.
The ministry further called on Ghanaians and people in other African countries to rely only on official information from the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service for updates on public health issues.
It also urged the public to avoid sharing unverified reports, saying such misinformation could create unnecessary fear and panic.
