Media personnel applauding at the event
The MTN Media Republic, a group of media personnel attached to the telecommunication company was on Friday, schooled on living healthy lifestyles, savings and investment.
Dubbed, MTN Media Republic Connect, the personnel were given insight on Blood Pressure (BP) insurance, investments and other relevant services including MTN Momo and aYo services.
It was themed ‘Our Health, Our Wealth, Our Future.’
In his presentation, a Medical Director at Acacia Medical Center, Dr Bright Sasu Baabu urged the media personnel to take their health seriously and engage in regular check-ups in order to know their health status.
On his part, the Deputy Managing Director (MD) at Invest Corp Limited, Mr Kwabena Appeagyei also advised participants to take insurance policies to secure their future.
He said, it was important for workers to sign onto policies that would ensure that they had something to rely on and not depend on families after retirement.
On MTN Mobile Money (Momo,) Abdul Hakeem Rufai, a Senior Manager, Commercial Mobile Money Limited also urged the media to download the Momo App to experience the new features to make transactions easier.
The Head of Sales, Planning and Projects at aYo Insurance also spoke about the many opportunities available on the service and urged all to be part.

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.
