Stop the vendatta against Della Sowah- Youth Activist
Former Ghana Institute of Journalism(GIJ), Student Representative Council(SRC) president, Benjamin Avornyotse has called on the youth of Kpando to solidly support the vision of Member of Parliament of the area, Della Sowah to succeed.
He said the youths should respect the decision of the people of Kpando Constituency who elected Mrs. Della Sowah as MP.
Statistics
Mr.Avornyotse said he couldn’t understand why some of them were fixated on efforts to overturn the will of the people because the candidate they presented and supported was rejected at the polls.
He debunked the argument from certain quarters that due to a drop in her percentage vote she may be unpopular. He argued that “so if JM loses an elections, like in 2016, is it because he’s not popular?”
“In 2012, votes in Kpando dropped largely because of separation of a new constituency, by 2016, Dela Sowah moved the numbers from around 78% to 84% percent. Yet NDC lost the national elections, will you say, JM was unpopular so he shouldn’t have been repeated even though Della Sowah mproved NDC votes in 2016,” he quizzed.
He further added that “If the numbers dropped in 2020, should you not see it as a pointer that it can bounce back like it did between 2012 and 2016.You should be concerned about how she did that in the past and how it can be done again.”
he said rather,they spend their time, scheming to make her appear unpopular, when indeed she is very popular on the grounds, and later turn around to blame her for drop in JM’s numbers.
“Even in 2016 the year when she increased the numbers. In 2016 NDC still lost Nationally, these are facts you can’t dispute.Your opinion can’t be approbated and reprobated,” he added.
According to him, “applying your logic, should we say that, even though, Della Sowah improved the numbers in 2016, and JM lost, JM is unpopular and should not be given another chance?,” he quizzed.
“Or your argument on popularity and uninspiring-ness is selective, depending on where your interest lies, and that your thinking can’t be applied across board because Della Sowah is an easy target even if same opinion applied to the Presidential candidate.This logic is a selective amnesia obviously,” he said.
This was in response to some opinions that lower statistics of the MP Della Sowah’s election results equates unpopularity
Mr.Avornyotse The bottom line is, this’s a personal vin-data (bitter destructive, interest laced) agenda against Della Sowah is not borne out of any objective fair analysis and well-wishing polity for Kpando.
“I have observed these characters for such a long time not only in Kpando but across-board politically. The day Della finally exit, whether by voluntary action or an election outcome. It will only be just a matter of time before they turn their fire on the new candidate depending on where they find their new interest,” he said.
Achievements
Supporting Mr. Avonyotse’s argument, Mr. Eric Tata touched on some of the achievements of Hon. Della Sowah, saying, it was unfortunate that the constituency communication team had failed woefully in doing their work as NDC Communicators.
He said, Della Sowah’s contributions in debates, to statements, or questions, in parliament are excellent and inspiring.
In the constituency he confirmed that she has assisted over 1400 constituents with payment of fees. If you see the list you will be surprised that some of those criticising her are among beneficiaries he said.
Last year she rehabilitated Torkor landing site to enable Pantoon to keep docking at Torkor to save thousands of jobs in Torkor.
Again this year she repaired the Assembly’s road equipments for them to be able to do maintenance works on roads.
Mr.Tata said, in 2016 she paid for a building to house the National Health Insurance in Kpando, adding that this has given the citizenry of Kpando, Afadjato and North Dayi a place to access NHIA.
“Currently she is set to hand over a two story resource centre for the Chiefs of Kpando. It is 90% complete. Kpando is the only constituency with 100% school feeding coverage in Ghana.She built the largest shed in the region for drivers,” Mr.Tata stated.
Additionally, he said the MP organised skills training for nearly 2,000 and Provided over 10,000 bags of fertilizers for farmers.
“There are 2 two story school buildings to her credit Dafor/St. Thomas Tsakpe. Other school projects to her credit include Dzigbe, Dzewoe, Bame, Kpodzi etc
On soccer, he noted that the Mrs.Sowah organized a football gala and selected a team to play against a former black stars, producing a team for the Municipal Akpini Stars.
“She assisted Maquart Margaret Hospital to roof their child care centre. Supported many people with hospital bill payments. We can go on and on,” Mr.Tata concluded
Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
