The Human Resource Supervisor and Chairperson of Corporate Social Responsibility Team, Subika, a sub-contractor of Newmont Ahafo Mines, Mrs. Bertha Yeboah, has underscored the need for society to have the interest of the less privileged and minority groups at heart by attending to their needs to restore their dignity.
“Let us show empathy towards the less privileged and minority groups to put smiles back on their faces,” she stated.
Mrs. Yeboah made the comment when UMA, in collaboration with ROPEAK Company, feted the children of Compassion Is Love In Action orphanage at Yawhima in the Sunyani Municipality of Bono Region. They were served with cooked rice and stew meal, and soft drinks to mark the Christmas festivities.
She emphasised that corporate institutions operating in Ghana must not always be preoccupied with making profits at the expense of the poor in society, adding that we need to pull such people along and offer a helping hand to them.
The Head of Administration of ROPEAK, Ms. Kate Wilson, on her part presented GH₵5,000 to the founder of the orphanage to support the running of the home. According to her, the donation forms part of the corporate social responsibility towards the children at the orphanage. She also promised to renovate the washrooms of the facility to improve hygiene.
According to her, the event, which has become an annual affair, would be sustained to improve the lot of the orphanage.
The Founder of the orphanage, Rev. Mrs. Charlotte Osei Kwarteng, who received the cash, expressed gratitude to the two mining companies for their continued support towards the orphanage. She prayed for God’s blessing upon them so that they would continue to support the less privileged in society.

A University of Ghana research on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National General Secretary election has found that 74.2% of surveyed delegates expect former Subin MP Eugene Boakye Antwi to win the October 3 election.
The research, conducted by a team of lecturers from the University of Ghana, Legon, led by Dr Chris Atadika, involved 889 NPP stakeholders.
According to the findings, 657 of the 889 respondents, representing 74.2%, identified Eugene Boakye Antwi as the candidate they expected to win the General Secretary position.
Incumbent General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua was identified by 223 respondents, representing 25.1%, while six respondents, or 0.7%, mentioned Sylvester Tetteh.
The researchers, however, stressed that the figures reflect the expectations of the respondents and should not be interpreted as an independent prediction of the election outcome.
The study also examined other areas of the contest, including candidate preference, perceived ability to help the NPP win the 2028 general election and name recognition.
On candidate preference, 76.6% of respondents identified Eugene Boakye Antwi as their preferred candidate, compared with 23.1% for Justin Frimpong Kodua.
When asked which candidate they believed could help the NPP win the 2028 election, 60.1% mentioned Eugene Boakye Antwi, while 39.2% chose Justin Frimpong Kodua.
The research further found that Eugene Boakye Antwi had an 82.7% name recognition among respondents when they were asked to identify candidates contesting the position. Justin Frimpong Kodua recorded 13%.
The respondents also identified good communication skills and boldness, the ability to help the party secure victory in 2028, and the ability to unite the party as some of the key qualities needed in the next General Secretary.
The study recorded 100% awareness of the General Secretary election among the respondents.
The research team, led by Dr Chris Atadika, is expected to brief the media on the full findings at the Department of Political Science at the University of Ghana, Legon.
The NPP will elect its National General Secretary on October 3, 2026.
