I will not disclose identity of my daughter’s father-Mzbel
Ghanaian musician, Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, known in Showbiz circles as Mzbel has brushed aside questions about the father of her daughter, Ohemaa.
Mzbel recently set social media buzzing with pictures and videos of her baby bump and her daughter.
She was also seen wearing a ring, indicating she is engaged.
This has raised questions from a section of the public about who the lucky man would be.
However, in an interview with Emmanuel Agyemang of Obibini TV, Mzbel indicated that she would not reveal the identity of the father of her daughter.
“For what I have seen on social media, I will not disclose something I value so much. Someone got married and posted about her husband, and people started digging into the man’s life, and the marriage collapsed,” she said.
According to her, if you value something and it gives you joy, social media should be the last place to display it.
For this reason, the musician said she would not disclose the identity of her husband to subject him to ridicule.
Mzbel added that she would not allow anyone to destabilise her peace of mind and joy.
The Minority in Parliament has strongly objected to any planned merger or partnership between the government and Telecel, describing the deal as “technically, operationally, and financially unconscionable.”
Ranking Member on the Communications Committee, Matthew Nyindam, raised the concern during a media briefing in Parliament.
He questioned why both the Minister of Communications and Telecel would publicly announce a merger and then suddenly go silent on the matter.
“We object to any deal with Telecel by way of merger, absorption, or acquisition. This is a scheme to dispose of a national asset to fill private pockets,” Mr. Nyindam stated.
He argued that Telecel has not demonstrated any special technical or operational expertise that staff and management of AT (formerly AirtelTigo) do not already possess.
According to him, Telecel had earlier promised to invest $500 million after acquiring Vodafone Ghana but failed to do so, a situation he fears could repeat itself if the government allows another deal.
Mr. Nyindam claimed that Telecel was already indebted to the tune of $400 million, adding that the company only seeks to benefit from AT’s over three million customers to expand its own base without making any real investment.
“The government must not surrender the capacity of a state-owned company to a private entity through majority ownership. There is no clear plan to protect the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of workers,” he stressed.
The Minority Caucus is therefore calling on the government to halt any discussions or agreements with Telecel regarding the proposed merger, insisting that the deal is not in the national interest.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has suspended all fines issued by its Compliance Team on the country’s roads, effective Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Authority explained that the suspension follows feedback from the public and further consultations with stakeholders.
The Compliance Team’s enforcement exercise, which had been intensified in recent weeks, was aimed at ensuring that drivers and vehicles met all legal requirements before operating on the road.
However, the DVLA said it was pausing the activity to allow for more engagement and public education on the exercise before it is reintroduced.
While assuring the public of its commitment to promoting safety and compliance, the Authority emphasized that the suspension only affects the fines and charges being enforced by the Compliance Team.
It added that all legal requirements for drivers and vehicles to operate on Ghana’s roads remain in force.
