NEW POLITICAL PARTY EMERGES

-

08-03-2018                                                                  NEW PARTY OUT
 Ashantitoday has picked an impeccable information of the springing up of a new political party. 
The party known as Power Unity Party, PUP, has already made its presence known on the ground though no official announcement or declaration has been made to that effect. 
Following weeks of close monitoring has has revealed that the party, which leadership or membership remains secrete, has opened its Ashanti Regional Office at Ahinsan, a suburb of Kumasi, in a rented single room in the outward of a house opposite the Palace close to the Community Centre.
 It is painted in deep Yellow and Black believed to be the official colours of the Power Unity Party with the inscription,  POWER UNITY PARTY; ASHANTE REGION OFFICE. 
It appears the National Head office of the PUP is located elsewhere from the Ashanti region. 
Try as Ashantitoday had to speak to the brains behind the formation of this party, it is becoming clear that the founders are for now, adopting the hide-and seek approach.

 In an interview, the Landlord, Anane Dapaah,  noted that early January this year, his son led two men to approach him to rent one of his rooms outside the house as an office to run a government-sponsored agricultural programme. 

According to Mr. Anane Dapaah, he welcomed the people since they had very good intention for the benefit of many people including the vulnerable and therefore readily rented the room to them for two years at a rate of  one thousand, 900 Ghana Cedis.

 He noted that, immediately, the men came to paint the room in the yellow and black colours with the name of a political party. 
Since then, all efforts to get them to explain their deceitful action has proved unsuccessful while his son who led them to secure the office has not been able to help.

He said however, that his son has also not cooperated to locate the whereabout of those 'tenants'.
We are closely monitoring the situation and would update our readers accordingly.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
