HON. ADWOA SAFO SET TO LOSE HER SEAT


Adwoa Safo's seat in Dome-Kwabenya is not vacant, according to Alhassan Bashir Alhassan Fuseini. The Sanarigu MP told the media in Parliament on Thursday that the assertion is a "absolute pathological lie." This comes as the Chairman of the Privileges Committee, Joseph Osei-Owusu, announced that the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency seat is vacant.

According to Joseph Osei-Owusu, who spoke exclusively to JoyNews, the Clerk must write to the Electoral Commission (EC) to declare Adwoa Safo's seat vacant, followed by a bye-election. This was in response to Ms. Safo's refusal to respond to the Committee's invitation to explain why she was absent from Parliament for 15 consecutive sittings last year.

Despite attempts by the Privileges Committee to contact Adwoa Safo, the Committee's Clerk "made it abundantly clear that you cannot say for certain that the correspondence that the Parliament sent to her reached her," he said. He went on to say that according to Standing Order 161 of the House, any recommendation of the Committee must be brought before the plenary for a decision and the necessary action to be taken through the Speaker. He went on to say that Standing Order "161 (b)" states that once the Committee has made its report, the Chairman of the Committee must move a motion on the House floor. The Chairman must call the motion to the floor.

As a result, the PNC is urging the leadership of Parliament, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the government to approach this issue with compassion. The PNC is pleading with the Speaker, the entire House, the NPP, the Dome Kwabenya Constituents, and the government to be patient in dealing with the MP. "The PNC believes she deserves our sympathy and support," it said. It also asked Parliament and its Privileges Committee to work with the MP to find an appropriate time to meet with her. The PNC urged the government and parliament to pass legislation requiring all employers in Ghana to provide a designated area for breastfeeding mothers, dubbed Breastfeeding Centres. Because this procedure has not been completed, Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini believes that the claim that Adwoa Safo's seat is vacant is a "mischievous rant by somebody with a fertile imagination for mischief."

According to Ghana's Constitution, a member of Parliament must vacate his seat if he is absent from the House for fifteen sittings without the permission of the Speaker and is unable to provide a reasonable explanation to the Parliamentary Committee on Privileges.

THE JOAN GAMPER TROPHY PITS FC BARCELONA AGAINST PUMAS UNAM.

   The Joan Gamper Trophy, also known as the Joan Gamper Cup, was established in 1966, with the Blaugrana inviting Anderlecht from Belgium, Nantes from France, and Koln from Germany to the inaugural event. It had four participants until 1997 Barcelona and three other invitees and consisted of two semi-final ties, a third-place playoff, and a final. The Blaugrana won their first championship, defeating Cologne 3-1 in the final. Due to an increased fixture list, the Joan Gamper Trophy underwent changes in 1997, abandoning the previous format in favour of a one-off match style. Furthermore, there is no extra time in the competition, with a penalty shoot-out deciding the winner if the game is tied after 90 minutes. This tournament has drawn teams from all over the world, including fellow Spanish powerhouses Atletico Madrid and Valencia, as well as South American behemoths Boca Juniors, River Plate, and Santos. In 2017, Barcelona invited Chapecoense to the 52nd Joan Gamper Trophy...

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT APPLE'S NEW IPHONE 14 AND 14 PRO

iPhone 14 is only a few weeks away, but leaks have already revealed much of what to expect. According to early reports, the new handset will include significant new features, improvements, and the removal of some well-known design elements. The phone, along with a slew of other products, will be released by Apple in September. But here's everything we know about the iPhone 14, including a possible date for the big Apple event. According to numerous reports, Apple has finally removed the notch that is cut out of the top of the display in the new devices. Instead, all of the components that are hidden there, such as the facial recognition sensor and front-facing camera, could be placed in a small cutout at the top of the screen, allowing the display to extend all the way up. That redesign could be limited to Pro models only. Rumours suggest that regular iPhones will have the same notch as the iPhone 13. Otherwise, the design is expected to stay largely the same. There may be some tw...

BRENTFORD FACES MANCHESTER UNITED.

  Manchester United will look to bounce back from their opening-weekend defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion when they face Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. Last Sunday, the Red Devils were defeated 2-1 at home by the Seagulls, while Brentford came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Leicester City in their season opener. Last weekend, Brentford appeared to be heading for defeat at the King Power Stadium, with Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on the scoresheet for Leicester, who led 2-0 in the 46th minute, but Ivan Toney halved the deficit just past the hour before Josh Dasilva equalised late for the Bees. Thomas Frank's team will now play their first home game of the season, while the rest of the month will see them face Fulham, Everton, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League, as well as Colchester United in the EFL Cup. Brentford were active in the summer transfer market, bringing in Keane Lewis-Potter, Aaron Hickey, Mikkel Damsgaard, Thomas Strakosha, ...
