Humble yourself and learn – Annoh-Dompreh to Kwame Agbodza
The Cheif Whip of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in parliament, Annoh-Dompreh, has advised Kwame Governs Abodza to humble himself and learn from him.
Kwame Agbodza, who is also a Chief Whip for National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus raised issues seeing Annoh-Dompreh in the chamber of Parliament ahead of the stipulated time.
However, responding to the allegations raised, Annoh-Dompreh said, he always come to work early as part of his work and, as a result, sought permission from the security.
According to him, he was then told the place was accessible and he went in with some of his colleagues to ensure everything was okay.
He added that he was later told they wanted to sweep the chamber, and he walked out.
“I was a whip before he became a whip; there are lessons I need to teach him. He should humble himself and learn,” said Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
Annoh-Dompreh further clarified that he was merely fulfilling his duties as a whip and not to cause any confusion.

Mahama promises more jobs and support for Zongo communities
President of the republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has assured Muslim leaders that his government will continue to do everything possible to improve the economy and create jobs for the youth.
Speaking to a gathering of imams, Mr. Mahama emphasised the government’s main focus in education was to expand technical and vocational training so that young people could gain the skills they need to work and support themselves.
He added that special attention would be given to Muslim communities to ensure they benefit from the rollout of new training centres.
He mentioned that programmes such as Ajumawura, which offers small loans to start businesses, and the National Apprenticeship Programme, which helps especially young women to learn trades like dressmaking, would also help the youth to build a future for themselves.
On support for Zongo communities, Mr. Mahama said a coordinator and deputy had been appointed to lead the Zongo Development Fund.
He announced that they would soon begin work on a microcredit scheme called the Soya Fund.
The fund, he explained, would provide small loans to poor households in Zongo communities, especially women engaged in small-scale businesses such as selling waakye, cocoa, or running small shops.
He said artisans like dressmakers would also benefit.
The president thanked the imams for their continuous prayers for Ghana, saying their intercession had helped the country remain one of the most peaceful nations in Africa.
