I didn't call Ghanaians witches for criticising Akufo-Addo gov't - Ursula Owusu

The Communications Minister has dismissed reports that she called critics of the Akufo-Addo government witches.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful who is also the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West said she never called anyone names for complaining about the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
According to her, she merely touted the NPP government’s achievements as “remarkable and tangible and asserted that only blind propagandists would feign ignorance of these visible achievements which were obvious and had touched every home in this country.”
The MP claims she urged the youth to boldly respond to propagandists with the truth and to itemise the strides made by the NPP government in the past two and half years, just as the vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia recently did during the NABCO anniversary celebrations.
Mrs Owusu-Ekuful said she never instructed the youth to shut complainants down as the news article purportedly suggested.
“We take serious exception to this false story which has received wide circulation, readership, and subsequent publication from other media houses and demand a retraction and apology,” a statement from the Minister’s office said. 
Her Office also urges the public to disregard these false media reports and treat them with the contempt they deserve.

“Mrs Owusu-Ekuful respects the right of all Ghanaians to have their own opinions about any issue though she may not agree with it,” it added.

CK Akonnor wins dismissal case against Kotoko, Ghanaian giants ordered to pay compensation

Asante Kotoko are expected to CK Akonnor a hefty compensation after the former coach won his case for wrongful dismissal against the club on Monday. The Player Status Committee has ruled the Porcupine Warriors breached the terms of his contract. The ex-Ghana international was sacked in July this year, just nine months into his three-year contract. He dragged the club to the Ghana Football Association demanding his 2 years salary, league trophy cash, and CAF Confederations Cup group stage entitlements. The Player Status Committee ruled that the club was not justified in terminating the contract of the former Hearts of Oak gaffer. Both parties are yet to be furnished with a copy of the ruling. Akonnor rejected an offer to head the club’s technical directorate and left his post under bitter circumstances. The gaffer had been in charge for a close to a year having had stints with Kotoko sworn rivals Hearts of Oak and regional rivals Ashantigold. He had also coached D...

Asante Kotoko NCC clap back at WAFA over hooliganism lecture, calls union "Armchair Supporters".

National Circles Council (NCC) of Asante Kotoko have frowned on the statement released by WAFA Supporters Union that their outfit is not supporting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in its efforts to end hooliganism. On Monday, the Supporters’ Union of WAFA schooled the Porcupine Warriors on hooliganism ahead of their matchday 8 Ghana Premier League encounter at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakofe. According to the statement, the supporters of WAFA believe the fans of Asante Kotoko do not support the Ghana FA’s effort to fight violence in football and hence deemed it necessary to issue out the caution. The Kumasi-based side were slapped with a five home-game ban which got reduced to three due to crowd misconduct during their 1-0 defeat against Berekum Chelsea at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on matchday 3. A section of their fans nearly repeated the act during their 2-1 win against rivals Hearts of Oak in Week 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium. However, the supporters wing of the Red lad...
