DCOP AMPAH BENNIN APPEALS TO THE POLICE



Rev. DCOP David Ampah Bennin, Volta Regional Police Commander yesterday made a passionate appeal to all Commanders across the country to take God seriously in order to successfully carry out their assignments.

“God is the source of success in all endeavors therefore we as the Police must worship him with zeal if we want to achieve anything and be successful in life” he said emphatically.

Preaching a sermon entitled “Living for Eternity” at the Police Church in Accra yesterday, Rev. DCOP Ampah Bennin, who was a member of the church before his transfer to the Regions said “there is the need to know God as Christians rather than worrying about what to wear to church and what not to wear. We should have faith in God instead doing things with our own strength”

Quoting copiously from the Holy Bible, he charged Christians to identify their purpose in life in order to lead a meaningful life full of strength and vitality and pleasing to God.

“We can’t live life without knowing where we are going” he added
Rev. DCOP Ampah Bennin, maintained that “Service to God is service to mankind so why do you want to fall short in your assignments to God and country?” he asked the congregation.

“Looking at things that are happening in the world today it is evident that the end-time is near. We all need God fervently, let us forsake the things of this world and worship Him with diligence, seriousness and in our assignments”
He therefore called on all persons to uphold their faith in God and trust in him.

“Today people who call themselves Christians have turned away from the teachings of the gospel and are doing things that are not Christ-like so we all have a responsibility to draw everyone back to the scriptures” he concluded.

She added that in the process some of the history has been distorted. This she continued has occasioned the need for home-grown story tellers who will be able to tell the nation’s story accurately. The Chief Justice said this need fuelled the collaboration between Prof. Kofi Kumado, former student of the Legon Law Faculty and Eme...

The Fundamentals of the Ghanaian Cedi

By Dr. S. Kwaku Afesorgbor, Centre for Trade Analysis and Development The depreciation of the Ghanaian Cedi has now become a perennial crisis. Overtime, we have come to the realization that the depreciation of the currency is structural and not necessarily due any form of mismanagement of the economy by the government in power. This mainly because this trend of annual depreciation is historical and successive governments have failed to stall its occurrence. Ghana’s current vice president, Dr. Bawumia, in a series of public lectures, highlighted the discrepancy between the exchange rate and inflation. Figure 1 below provides anecdotal evidence of the continuous discrepancy between inflation and exchange rate overtime in Ghana. Discrepancy between inflation and exchange rate The theoretical underpinning of the relationship between inflation and exchange rates is the relative purchasing power parity (PPP). Through PPP, the appreciation or depreciation of the exchange rate shoul...

OUR COLONIAL HERITAGE

Image
The Republic of Ghana is named after the medieval West African Ghana Empire,[1] The Empire became known in Europe and Arabia as the Ghana Empire by the title of its emperor, the Ghana. The Empire appears to have broken up following the 1076 conquest by the Almoravid General Abu-Bakr Ibn-Umar. A reduced kingdom continued to exist after Almoravid rule ended, and the Kingdom was later incorporated into subsequent Sahelian empires, such as the Mali Empire several centuries later. Geographically, the ancient Ghana Empire was approximately 500 miles (800 km) north and west of the modern state of Ghana, and controlled territories in the area of the Sénégal river and east towards the Niger rivers, in modern Senegal, Mauritania and Mali. Historically, modern Ghanaian territory was the core of the Empire of Ashanti, which was one of the most advanced states in sub-Sahara Africa in the 18–19th centuries, before colonial rule. It is said that at its peak, the King of Ashanti could field 500,0...
