2017 Afcon: Ghana's line-up for the Mauritius game
As predicted by Ghana's leading football news website www.ghanasoccernet.com Grant did not shake-up his regular starting line-up for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Port Louis.
The Israeli coach maintained the same players who have served the side well in the qualifiers despite the presence of some new players.
Ghanaians were yearning to see how Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey would get in the Black Stars following his maiden call-up but Grant went sure bet in Afriyie Acquah.
English Premier League winner Jeff Schlupp was another player supporters of the team wanted to see start ahead of Baba Rahman or Frank Acheampong at left-back or left midfield respectively but the former Chelsea boss maintained his trusted players.
The only noticeable change was captain Andre Ayew who will play in an attacking role in the absence of Gyan.
Razak Brimah maintains his place in the post as he will be protected by Harrison Afful, Rahman, Boye and Jonathan Mensah.
Mubarak Wakaso and Acquah will be the central midfield partners with Atsu playing from the right and Acheampong on the right.
Jordan Ayew plays in deep attacking role while his brother acts as the support striker.
Ghana starting line-up:
Razak Brimah, Harrison Afful, Baba Rahman, Jonathan Mensah, John Boye, Mubarak Wakaso, Christian Atsu, Afriyie Acquah, Jordan Ayew, Andre Ayew (captain), Frank Acheampong
IMANI doing more propaganda than policy – Arthur K
According to him, claims by the vice president of IMANI Kofi Bentil that the company will not survive is unfortunate and baseless.
The outspoken deputy head of IMANI has said the factory which was recently commissioned by President John Mahama will “produce more propaganda than sugar”.
He claims no comprehensive study was conducted on the viability of the company, hence his conviction that it will fail.
But in a statement, the medical doctor said it is shameful for IMANI to take such a hostile approach towards a new company.
“These days, sometimes, more propaganda comes out of IMANI than policy. And that is a shame. It used to be a great think thank” he wrote.
Dr. Kennedy believes the President must be commended for reopening the company after it was collapsed many years ago.
Below are details of the statement
KOMENDA SUGAR FACTORY
President Mahama has commissioned the above. Judging from comments, one would think he did something wrong. That is unfortunate. This parade of worthless comments was capped by IMANI think tank's Kofi Bentil when he opined on Newsfile today that the new factory would produce "more propaganda than sugar". Really, Kofi? How would you know?
These days, sometimes, more propaganda comes out of IMANI than policy. And that is a shame. It used to be a great think thank.
Then the Minority spokesperson on Agriculture, the esteemed Dr. Afriyie Akoto, made some confusing pronouncements. He wondered how the government would get 1200 metric tones of sugar per day. Honourable, by encouraging the farmers to grow it!!That is the same model the Pwalugu tomato factory was based on, remember?As to his point that the factory will not solve all the sugar import needs of Ghana, it is baffling.
The idea that we should not solve part of our sugar import needs until we can solve all of it is not worthy of the Honourable MP. Whatever portion of the 200 million USD we can save from sugar imports is good. Indeed, earlier in the week, the minority in parliament had wisely supported the idea of having the factory while raising legitimate questions. That was after Dr. Nduom had also raised questions about the viability of the factory. His questions were substantive and on point, his tone notwithstanding.
We should be excited by this new factory. It follows the Kufuor model for reviving the Aluminum industry and for re-activating the Pwalugu tomato factory.
It actualizes the NPP flag-bearer ' s view that we should add value to our raw materials.
It is a tacit admission by the NDC that selling the KOMENDA sugar factory and others to private interests at "donkomi" prices was a mistake.
It will revive sugar cane production and bring wealth to farmers while hiring thousands of factory hands.
It will save us foreign exchange that otherwise would have gone to the importation of sugar.
Until there is evidence that it is being managed badly, let us celebrate it, together with the President who built it.
Runaway acid man busted
Philip Oppong, the man who allegedly poured acid on his estranged wife, Abena Konadu, 37, at Bogoso in the Western Region, after the wife had purportedly threatened to end the relationship, has been arrested.
The suspect was said to have ambushed Abena Konadu, a trader, and poured concentrated acid on her and ran away from the area.
DAILY GUIDE gathered that after being under cover for about four months, Oppong was arrested at Wassa Afransie, near Wassa Akropong in the region Wednesday afternoon.
Explaining how the suspect was arrested, the acid victim, Abena Konadu, narrated that he had been communicating with her for the past two months, trying to plead with her to forgive him so that they could continue their relationship.
Abena said that she was with her uncle at Wassa Afransie on Wednesday when Philip Oppong paid a visit. She said she quickly alerted the watchdog committee in the area, who arrested Philip and handed him over to the police.
A police source confirmed the arrest and indicated that Philip was in police custody while investigation continues.
The Story
Philip Oppong was said to have taken that action because Abena Konadu had reportedly threatened to end the relationship. According to sources, the lady used to be in a relationship with a different man in the area and had children with him. However, the relationship went sour following some problems and the two had to part ways. DAILY GUIDE gathered that later Philip Oppong proposed to Konadu and the two reportedly started courtship.
However, the suspect was alleged to have been subjecting the lady to severe beatings at the least provocation and so she allegedly threatened to leave and reconcile with her former boyfriend.
Feeling insecure, Oppong purportedly poured acid on her face to make her unattractive to other men, injuring her severely.
Victim Speaks
Abena Konadu indicated in an interview that she broke up with Oppong because of some misunderstanding that ensued between them.
She asserted that on Friday, January 8, 2016, she was at home when Oppong, together with a certain elderly woman, came to plead with her to accept him back.
She indicated that she refused to heed the plea because she had had several cesarean operations but her boyfriend did not care about that but kept hitting her stomach anytime there was a scuffle between them.
She added that one Saturday she woke up and was preparing to cook some food when she sighted Oppong approaching her and having a container in his hand.
Abena Konadu indicated that the suspect then called her but she did not mind him. Oppong got closer and poured the content of the container on her saying, “You say you can’t stay with me. I have made you blind and no one can marry you,” and fled the scene.
According to the victim, she started shouting for help and her younger brother, who was sleeping, got up and rushed her to the hospital.
